20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours 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 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen, and hated both me and my Father. 25 But _this cometh to pass_, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.(269) 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, _even_ the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. § 140. Persecution foretold. Further promise of the Holy Spirit. (Evening Introducing The Sixth Day Of The Week.) _Jerusalem_. John. CH. XVI. 1-33.
