Commentaries
The Hostile World.
Having been chosen by Jesus (15:16), the disciples no longer belong to the world, which is any reality that rejects Jesus’ mission. That is why the world hates and opposes the disciples. The disciples’ fate cannot be different from that of the Master; if the Master was rejected, persecuted, and hated, the disciples will face the same.
