Exegesis
Kai {καὶ | kai} ‘and’ simply joins the clauses without contrast, and ton patera mou {τὸν πατέρα μου | ton patera mou} ‘My Father’ parallels eme, showing that the hostility aimed at the Son necessarily reaches the Father as well. Because English does not naturally preserve the Greek participial opening, a generic subject plus a relative-style clause best conveys the broad principle and the force of the double statement.
In context — John 15:23
The one who bears that hatred toward Me also bears that hatred toward My Father .
