The World Hates the Disciples
John 15
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me
first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as
its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I
told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they
persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they
will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because
of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I
had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they
have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my
Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one
else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet
they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to
fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’[c
