     05/17 - GospeL Verses 

18 - “If the world hates you, know it has hated me before it hated you. {So we should try not to hate each other/be divided because of issues of “the world”?} 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you’re not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they don’t know he who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty, but now they have no excuse.

     23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

  24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else has done, they would not be guilty, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But the scripture written in The Law must be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

     26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit{/Presence of God} and Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you disciples of mine will also bear witness [martureó - testify, give evidence, affirm what one has seen, heard, or experienced] because you have been with me from the beginning.”
