John 15:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ “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 as well.
²¹ But they will do all these things to you
on account of my name,
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.
