John 15:17-19 (New International Version)

¹⁷This is my command: Love each other.

The World Hates the Disciples

 ¹⁸"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. ¹⁹If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
