21 But they will do all this to you because you are mine; for they do not know the one who sent me.
22 They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not come and spoken to them; as it is, they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.
24 They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not done among them the things that no one else ever did; as it is, they have seen what I did, and they hate both me and my Father.
25 This, however, was bound to happen so that what is written in their Law may come true: ‘They hated me for no reason at all.’
26 “The Helper will come—the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me.
27 And you, too, will speak about me, because you have been with me from the very beginning.
