22 “If I hadn’t come and spoken to the people of this world, they wouldn’t be sinners. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me also hates the Father.
24 If I hadn’t done works among them that no one else had done, they wouldn’t be sinners. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 This fulfills the word written in their Law, They hated me without a reason.
26 “When the Companion comes, whom I will send from the Father—the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father—he will testify about me.
27 You will testify too, because you have been with me from the beginning.
