015:022 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.
015:023 He who hates me hates my Father also.
015:024 If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no
one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they
have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.
015:025 But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled
which stands written in their Law, `They have hated me
without any reason.'
015:026 "When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from
the Father's presence—the Spirit of Truth who comes forth
from the Father's presence—He will be a witness concerning me.
015:027 And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me
from the first.
016:001 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear

016:003 And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
