JOHN 15:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.”
It was to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.' [Psalm 69:4] — the hatred the world directs at Jesus fulfills the pattern established in Scripture; this is not random malice but the enactment of an ancient pattern. The citation of Psalm 69:4 establishes that Jesus' suffering is not unprecedented but is the culmination of a history of righteous suffering. The world's hatred of the righteous stretches back through the psalms and prophets; Jesus does not stand alone.
