Note...because the servant is not greater than the lord (but his servants are now friends so they are friends). If I am reading this correctly..he is saying
that the world is the servant of Satan (the prince of the world)(...and since he who persecutes him (Satan)..is served by the world..the world will persecute his disciples because they are friends with God and not with who they serve which is Satan. (Vipers).
The implication I derive is that the world hated God which is why even in Exodus after being freed they could not stick to God's Word. He came as man to make his point to prove it, and that they did.
1 John 2:15 Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in it, for whoever loves the world does not have the love of The Father in him
John 15: 18 If the world hate you, ye know that IT HATED ME BEFORE it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 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.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
So what is the point? They had eyes but could not See, ears but could not hear. When the blind man is healed he is now the one who sees and it is they who are now blind, as later it can be noted that when he said, I came into the world to give sight to the blind, and to take away sight from those who See.
Point is, despite what was said, He didn't knwo or realize what He said and all that mattered was the opinion of other men of the world.
