John 15:18-27 - The World's Hatred For The Disciples
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your's also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated me without a cause."
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
