John 15:25

Context
15:25 Now this happened 1  to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ 2 

1 tn The words “this happened” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to complete an ellipsis.

2 sn A quotation from Ps 35:19 and Ps 69:4. As a technical term law (νόμος, nomos) is usually restricted to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT), but here it must have a broader reference, since the quotation is from Ps 35:19 or Ps 69:4. The latter is the more likely source for the quoted words, since it is cited elsewhere in John’s Gospel (2:17 and 19:29, in both instances in contexts associated with Jesus’ suffering and death).
