20 Remember the word that I said to you, a‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. bIf they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
21 But aall these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
22 aIf I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, bbut now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 aHe who hates Me hates My Father also.
24 If I had not done among them athe works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have bseen and also hated both Me and My Father.
25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, a‘They hated Me without a cause.’
The Coming Rejection
26 a“But when the1 Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, bHe will testify of Me.
