John 15:23 BBE

²¹  They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

²²  If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

²³  He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.

²⁴  If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

²⁵  This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.
