John 7:7 - The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
It is interesting that Jesus, for the most part, isn't telling people that their deeds are evil except for the religious persons, and of course they are the ones who are trying to kill him. He is calling people to repentance, like John did (Mark 1:5), but often is focused on those who recognize that they are sick and need a doctor (Mark 2:17), in other words, those who already know that their deeds are evil and have a desire to repent and turn to God for forgiveness.
Thank you Lord Jesus for your mercy on me and for your forgiveness!
