But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Kama mngekuwa wa ulimwengu, ulimwengu ungewapenda walio wake; lakini kwa kuwa ninyi si wa ulimwengu, bali mimi naliwachagua katika ulimwengu, kwa sababu hiyo ulimwengu huwachukia. Likumbukeni lile neno nililowaambia, Mtumwa si mkubwa kuliko bwana wake; ikiwa waliniudhi mimi, watawaudhi ninyi; ikiwa walilishika neno langu, watalishika na lenu.”
