In the Greek, the word used is "&#8001;" (ho), which is a definite article often translated as "the one who." This emphasizes the personal responsibility and choice of each individual in their relationship with Jesus and, by extension, with God the Father. It underscores the universal scope of Jesus' message and the accountability of every person to respond to Him.<p><b>hates</b><br />The Greek word for "hates" is "&#956;&#953;&#963;&#941;&#969;" (mise&#333;), which conveys a strong aversion or detestation. In the biblical context, this term is not merely about emotional dislike but signifies a rejection or opposition to Jesus' teachings and His divine nature. This hatred is not passive but active, reflecting a conscious decision to oppose Christ. Historically, this reflects the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders of His time, who rejected His claims and authority.<p><b>Me</b><br />"Me" refers to Jesus Christ, the central figure of the New Testament. In this context, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, emphasizing His unique relationship with God the Father. The personal pronoun highlights the intimate and direct connection between Jesus and those who either accept or reject Him. Understanding Jesus' identity as the Son of God is crucial, as it is the foundation of Christian faith and the basis for the relationship between humanity and God.<p><b>also</b><br />The word "also" serves as a conjunction that links the hatred of Jesus to the hatred of the Father. It implies that these two actions are inseparable; to hate Jesus is to hate God the Father. This reflects the unity and oneness of the Father and the Son, a central tenet of Christian doctrine. Theologically, this underscores the belief in the Trinity, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet one in essence.<p><b>hates My Father</b><br />The phrase "hates My Father" reiterates the profound connection between Jesus and God the Father. The Greek word for "Father" is "&#960;&#945;&#964;&#942;&#961;" (pat&#275;r), which denotes not only a paternal relationship but also authority and origin. In the Jewish context, God as Father was a familiar concept, but Jesus' claim to this relationship was revolutionary, asserting His divine sonship and equality with God. This statement challenges the listener to recognize that rejecting Jesus is tantamount to rejecting God Himself, as they are intrinsically linked in purpose and essence.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/john/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(23) <span class= "bld">He that hateth me hateth my Father also.</span>--Comp.

Again the darkness of the world's hatred is drawn in the successive degrees of sin. Hatred against the disciples is hatred against the Master whom they represent. Hatred against the Son is hatred against the Father whom He represents. Hatred of the Father! There can be no greater darkness. The sinfulness of sin has in this thought reached its limit. God is love. The heart that can hate love has hardened itself, and cannot be loved.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 23.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">He that hateth me,</span> and by implication will hate you, <span class="cmt_word">hateth my Father also</span>. The hatred of goodness in me, the refusal to accept my representation of their Father and mine, becomes a distinct hatred of God himself as I have revealed him. A God of war, a God of partisan jealousy for the honor of Israel, a God who would palliate fratricidal feud, and overlook blasphemous indifference to his true character, they might have tolerated; but the Father-God, whom they might have heard and seen in Christ, is hated by them. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/john/15-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Whoever</span><br /><span class="grk">&#8009;</span> <span class="translit">(Ho)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.
