John 15:18 - Forerunner Commentary

John 15:18

16 ^aYou did not choose Me, but I chose you and ^bappointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father ^cin My name He may give you.

17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

The World’s Hatred

18 ^a“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

19 ^aIf you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet ^bbecause you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

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.
