John 15:25

Prophecy

23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.

24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’

26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
