John 15:18-27 - The World's Hatred For The Disciples
18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. 19 If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to 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 said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. 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 pretext for their sin. 23 He that hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.
26 But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me; 27 and you shall also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
