“And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.”
And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me — the root of persecution is ignorance (ou ginōskousin—do not know) of the Father and Jesus. Those who know God truly cannot kill those who bear his image; those who kill the righteous do so because they do not know the one they claim to serve. The ignorance is culpable; they have had opportunity to know but have chosen not to.
