Yochanan 15:23 Meaning and Commentary

John 15:23

He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
] The hatred the world bears to the followers of Christ, is interpretatively hatred to Christ himself; and hatred to Christ himself, is no other than hatred to his Father; and indeed, all the hatred that is shown by the men of the world to Christ, to his Gospel, and to his faithful ministers and followers, originally arises from that enmity, that is naturally in the heart of every unregenerate man against God: now since not only Christ, but the Father also, is hated by the world, the children of God and disciples of Christ may sit easier under all the resentment, frowns, and malice of the world.

22 If I did not come and speak to them, [YECHEZKEL 2:5] they would not have chet; but now they have no ptur (excuse) for their chet.

23 The one having sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) for me (Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach) has sin’as chinom for HaAv of me.

24 If I did not do pe’ulot among them which no other man did, they would not have chet; but now they have beheld and they have had sin’as chinom for both me and HaAv of me.

25 But this was that the dvar having been written in their Torah might be fulfilled, SONE’AI CHINOM ATZMU (They are many hating me without cause). [TEHILLIM 69:4 5; 35:19; 109:3]
