John 15:18-27 - The World's Hatred For The Disciples
18 If the world hates you, know that it first hated me. 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, on this account the world hates you. 20 Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know Him that sent me. 22 If I did not come and speak to them, they had not sin: now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 The one hating me hates my Father also. 24 If I did not works among them which no other did: they had not sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But in order that the word having been written in their law may be fulfilled, That they hated me gratuitously.
26 When the Comforter, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, may come, He will witness concerning me, 27 but you indeed are witnesses, because you are with me from the beginning.
