19 tIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because uyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you: v‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, wthey will also persecute you. xIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21But yall these things they will do to you zon account of my name, aabecause they do not know him who sent me.
