Joh 15:18 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for John 15:18-27: 15:18-27 Disciples must be like their master in every respect, both in showing love and obedience and in experiencing the antagonism of those who oppose their message (15:20-21 ; see 9:1-41 ; 11:16 ). If the darkness is opposed to the light (1:5 ), and if Jesus’ followers are bearers of that light in the world (1 Jn 1:7 ; 2:9 ), they should expect the world to hate them in the way it hated Jesus (see John 17:14 ). Jesus’ disciples share his separation from and conflict with the world.
