23 The one who hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this happened so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a reason.’
26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father—that one will testify about me.
27 And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
