John 15:18-27 - The World's Hatred For The Disciples
18 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love what was its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have selected you from the world, that the world hates you. 20 Remember what I said to you: No slave is greater than his master. If they have persecuted me they will persecute you too. If they have observed my teaching, they will observe yours too. 21 But they will do all this to you on my account, because they do not understand him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but as it is, they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done things before them that no one else ever did they would not be guilty of sin. But as it is, they have seen both me and my Father, and they have hated us both. 25 But the saying of their Law, 'They hated me without cause,' must be fulfilled.
26 When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me, 27 and you must bear testimony too, because you have been with me from the first.
