🌙 [To his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion, continued.] 18 - “If the world hates you, know that it hated first. 19 If you were of the world, the world would include you as its own. But since you’re not of the world, and I chose you out of the world, the world doesn’t like you.
20 Remember how I said to you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than their master.’ If they” {who? ruling powers/the world} “persecuted me, they’ll persecute you. If they kept my word, they’ll keep yours. 21 But all these things they’ll do to you on account of my name [onoma - name, cause] because they don’t know the one who sent me. 22 If I hadn’t come and spoken, they wouldn’t be exposed, but now they have no cover. 23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I hadn’t done among them the works that no one else has done, they wouldn’t be guilty. But now they have seen these things {all that occurred} and have hated both me and my Father. 25 But, the words written in the Law itself will be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’
26 When the Helper comes, whom [hos, hé, ho - who, what, which, that] I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, that proceeds from the Father” {the Father’s Presence gone forth} “will bear witness about me. 27 As will you, because you’ve been with me during it all.”
Tomorrows verses - John 16:1-16
