Context of John 15:26

24If I hadn’t done among them what no one else has done, they wouldn’t have any sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25In this way what is written in their Scriptures has come true: ‘They hate me for no reason.’ “The helper whom I will send to you from the Father will come. This helper, the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, will declare the truth about me. 27You will declare the truth, too, because you have been with me from the beginning.”
