²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ^(A)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^(B)they will also persecute you. ^(C)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But ^(D)all these things they will do to you ^(E)on account of my name, ^(F)because they do not know him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, ^(G)they would not have been guilty of sin,^[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. ^23 (H)Whoever hates me hates my Father also.
