Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 15:25

"But [this cometh to pass], that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause." — John 15:25 (ASV)

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

They fulfilled what had been written long before, even as they afterwards did when they put Christ to death.
