John 15:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘Servants^[a] are not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
