20 Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours.
21 But they will do all these things to you on account of My name, because they don’t know the One who sent Me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 The one who hates Me also hates My Father.
24 If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25 But this happened so that the statement written in their scripture might be fulfilled: They hated Me for no reason.
26 “When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father — He will testify about Me.
