Jesus said:
"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you." (John 15:18, 19; see also 1 Peter 4:3, 4.)
Jesus also told his disciples:
"You will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name." (Mark 13:13)
The Bible shows that the whole world lies under Satan's control. (1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:17) Therefore, he is the principal instigator of the persecution.
