John Chapter 8 Verse 53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

‹Why do ye not understand my speech?› [even] ‹because ye cannot hear my word.›

‹Ye are of› [your] ‹father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.›

‹And because I tell› [you] ‹the truth, ye believe me not.›

‹Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?›

‹He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear› [them] ‹not, because ye are not of God.›

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Jesus answered, ‹I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.›

‹And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.›

‹Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.›

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Jesus answered, ‹If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:›

‹Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.›

‹Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw› [it], ‹and was glad.›

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, ‹Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.›

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, ‹Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.›

‹I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.›
