John 15:27
25 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.
And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
