John

John 15:20–21

²⁰Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’^a If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well. ²¹But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
