The World Hates the Disciples18“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’John 13:16If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
