KJV ORIGINAL

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Remember what I told you — no student is bigger than their teacher. If they came for me, they're gonna come for you too. But here's the thing: if they actually listened to what I had to say, they'll listen to you as well.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Following Jesus means you'll face the same pushback he did, but also the same breakthroughs.

The people listening were like, 'Wait, if that's true, then who can actually be saved?'

You have eyes — why aren't you seeing what's right in front of you? You have ears — why aren't you actually hearing what I'm saying? And why do you keep forgetting everything that just happened?

Listen, I'm asking you as someone who cares about you — remember that you're just passing through this world, so don't get caught up in those desires that feel good in the moment but actually mess with your heart and soul.
