Commentary on John 15:18
Theological / DevotionalIf the world hate you. [A Warning of Persecution, John 15:18 to 16:4.] There would be hatred from the world, but among the inner group there ought to be love (v. 17). They would have sufficient to endure from the bitter conflict with the world, without adding to the antagonism from without (Luke 22:24). The world hates those whose sympathies and interests are at variance with it (see on ch. 7:7).
It hated me. The full fury of the world’s hatred the disciples were yet to see.
