John 15:24-26
Easy-to-Read Version
24 I did things among the people of the world that no one else has ever done. If I had not done those things, they would not be guilty of sin. But they have seen what I did, and still they hate me and my Father. 25 But this happened to make clear the full meaning of what is written in their law: ‘They hated me for no reason.’[a]
26 “I will send you the Helper[b] from the Father. The Helper is the Spirit of truth[c] who comes from the Father. When he comes, he will tell about me.
