If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also.[ † ]Matthew 10:24John 13:16Ezekiel 3:7 21But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.[ † ]Matthew 10:22Matthew 24:91 Peter 4:14Revelation 2:3 22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.[ † ]John 9:41John 15:24Romans 1:20James 4:17 23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.[ † ]1 John 2:23 24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.[ † ]John 3:2John 14:9 25But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.[ † ]Psalms 35:19Psalms 69:4Psalms 109:3-5 26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:[ † ]Luke 24:49John 14:17Acts 2:4-331 John 5:6 27and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.[ † ]Luke 24:481 Peter 5:12 Peter 1:16Matthew 3:14Luke 1:21 John 1:1
