have made known to you all things which I have heard of my Father. (16)Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you. (17)These things I command you, that ye love one another. (18)If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you. (19)If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you. (20)Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your's also. (21)But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. (22)Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. (23)He that hateth me hateth my Father also. (24)If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. (25)But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated me without a cause." (26)But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (27)and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning. CHAP. XVI. THESE things have I spoken, that ye might not be stumbled. (2)They will put you out of their synagogues: yea, the hour is coming, that every one who killeth you will think he offers God a sacred service. (3)And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. (4)But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you. (5)But now I am going away to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? (6)But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. (7)Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. (8)And when he cometh, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment: (9)of sin first, because they believe not in me; (10)then of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, so ye see me no more; (11)and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him.
