John 15:20 in Context — John 15

18 Si le monde vous hait, sachez qu’il m’a haï avant vous.

19 Si vous étiez du monde, le monde aimerait ce qui est à lui; mais parce que vous n’êtes pas du monde, et que je vous ai choisis du milieu du monde, à cause de cela le monde vous hait.

20 Souvenez-vous de la parole que je vous ai dite:Le serviteur n’est pas plus grand que son maître.S’ils m’ont persécuté, ils vous persécuteront aussi; s’ils ont gardé ma parole, ils garderont aussi la vôtre.

21 Mais ils vous feront toutes ces choses à cause de mon nom, parce qu’ils ne connaissent pas celui qui m’a envoyé.

22 Si je n’étais pas venu et que je ne leur eusse point parlé, ils n’auraient pas de péché; mais maintenant ils n’ont aucune excuse de leur péché.
