Context of John 15:26

24If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning me: 27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
