John 15:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Whoever hates me also hates my Father. ²⁴ I did works among them that no one else has ever done. If I had not done these works, they would not be guilty of sin. [^CJesus’ words and actions resulted in their guilt because they rejected him despite the evidence (the “signs”) that God was working through him; see Matt. 11:20–24; Luke 11:31–32.] But now they have seen what I have done, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But this happened so that what is written in their law ·would be true [^Lmight be fulfilled]: ‘They hated me for no reason [^Cthe quote could be from Ps. 35:19 or Ps. 69:4].’
