Context of John 15:24

22I have come and I have spoken my message to them. If I had not done that, they would not have been guilty of their sin. But now they cannot say, “We have not done anything wrong.” 23Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. When I was with them, I did many great things. Nobody else ever did things like that. If I had not done those great things among them, they would not have known what is wrong. But they have seen what I did. As a result, they have hated me, and they have hated my Father too. 25Their book of God's Law says, “They hated me without any good reason.” What that book already said long ago had to happen. 26When I return to my Father, I will send the Helper to you. The Helper is God's Spirit who speaks only true things. He comes to you from the Father. I will send him to you and he will speak true things about me.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24The works which none other man did - The miracles of Jesus surpassed those of Moses and the prophets: 1.In their number. He healed great multitudes, and no small part of his life was occupied in doing good by miraculous power. 2.In their nature. They involved a greater exertion of power. He healed all forms of disease.
