John 15:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Remember ·what [the word] I told you: A ·servant [slave; bond-servant] is not greater than his ·master [lord; see 13:16]. If people ·did wrong to [persecuted] me, they will ·do wrong to [persecute] you, too. And if they ·obeyed my teaching [^Lkept my word], they will ·obey [keep] yours, too. ²¹ [^LBut] They will do all this to you on account of ·me [^Lmy name; 14:13], because they do not know the One who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
