Psalms 41:9
9Even my aclose friend in whom I trusted,who bate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
Micah 7:5-6
5 cPut no trust in a neighbor;have no confidence in a friend;
guard dthe doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms; ▼
▼Hebrew bosom
6for fthe son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
ga man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
John 7:41-43
41Others said, “This is hthe Christ.” But some said, i“Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes jfrom the offspring of David, and comes kfrom Bethlehem, the village lwhere David was?” 43So there was ma division among the people over him.John 9:16
16Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not nfrom God, ofor he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, p“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And qthere was a division among them.John 10:19-21
19 rThere was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20Many of them said, s“He has a demon, and tis insane; why listen to him?” 21Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. uCan a demon open the eyes of the blind?”John 15:18-21
The Hatred of the World
18 v“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 wIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because xyou 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: y‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, zthey will also persecute you. aaIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21But aball these things they will do to you acon account of my name, adbecause they do not know him who sent me.John 16:2
2 aeThey will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, afthe hour is coming when agwhoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
