THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 15 - Verse 21

Verse 21. My name's sake. On my account. Because you are my followers and possess my spirit. See Barnes "Joh 14:13".

Because they know not him that sent me. They will not believe that God has sent me. They do not so understand his character, his justice, or his law, as to see that it was fit that he should send his Son to die. They are so opposed to it, so filled with pride and opposition to a plan of salvation that is so humbling to men, as to be resolved not to believe it, and thus they persecute me, and will also you.

{y} "But all these things" Mt 10:22; 24:9
