John 15:21 - Forerunner Commentary

John 15:21

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.

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.
