Read full passage

15:14 You are My friends if you do what I command you.

15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

15:17 This is My command to you: Love one another.

15:18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.

15:19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

15:20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.

15:21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

15:23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

15:25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’

15:26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

15:27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
