Highlighting Jesus's warning to his disciples about being hated by the world, advising them that they will not be alone but will have the "advocate" (Holy Spirit) with them by there side.

In what is hard teaching to receive from Jesus, we discover our difficulties and hardships will be used by God to bring fruit for the Kingdom of God. He likens it to “pruning”. What is important is for us to remain, abide, “in” Jesus. Although never easy or comfortable, it is a call to trust in him in every situation

The second half of John’s gospel has Jesus meeting his disciples around a meal. He knows soon he faces the cross. He has critical things to teach before his goes. The first being, to wash each other’s feet. Serving others is a critical lesson for the disciples, and for any disciple which will follow.
