3.10- He had done what they said humans could not do, love the unlovely.
3.10-
Jesus was loved by the common people but hated by the religious leaders. This was so because He was from heaven, not from this world. He had convicted them of sin. He had done what they said humans could not do, love the unlovely.
John 15.
18 “If the world hates you, [e]you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [f]sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have [g]sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
Psalm 35.
19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those who hate me without cause [i]wink maliciously.
Psalm 69.
4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would [d]destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
