The Lord said to his disciples: "This I command you, to love one
another. If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it
hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but
because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A
servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they
will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not
know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they
would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who
hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works
which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen
and hated both me and my Father. It is to fulfill the word that is
written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will
bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been
with me from the beginning. I have said all this to you to keep you
from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed,
the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering
service to God."
