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 Those who hate me hate my Father also.
24 "I did miracles among them that no one else did. If I hadn't, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen those miracles. And still they have hated both me and my Father.
25 This has happened so that what is written in their Law would come true. It says, 'They hated me without any reason.' (Psalms 35:19; 69:4)
26 "I will send the Friend to you from the Father. He is the Spirit of truth, who comes out from the Father. When the Friend comes to help you, he will give witness about me.
