John 15:18-27 - The World's Hatred For The Disciples
18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you on my account, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He that hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen, and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Paraclete has come, whom I will send to you from my Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me; 27 and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
