John 15:21-27

21 But they will do all these [things] to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.
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.
