18If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.19If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.21But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.23He who hates me, hates my Father also.24If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.25But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’26“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.27You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.1“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.2They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.3They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.4But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
Hatred without a cause (v. 25). They hated me without a cause (Psalm 69:4). The world’s hatred of the light is not rational. It is the darkness recoiling from exposure.
Hates me, hates my Father also (v. 23). The inverse of 14:9's "he who has seen me has seen the Father" — the same identity-claim, now read from the side of rejection rather than revelation. There is no version of hating the Son that leaves the Father untouched, because there is no gap between them for the hatred to fall into.
