rkjnt - John:8:12-59

rkjnt@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

rkjnt@John:8:13 @ Therefore, the Pharisees said to him, You bear testimony of yourself; your testimony is not true.

rkjnt@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear testimony of myself, yet my testimony is true: for I know where I came from, and where I go; but you do not know where I come from, or where I go.

rkjnt@John:8:15 @ You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

rkjnt@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with he who sent me.

rkjnt@John:8:17 @ It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

rkjnt@John:8:18 @ I am one who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.

rkjnt@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.

rkjnt@John:8:20 @ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour had not yet come.

rkjnt@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he said, Where I go, you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:8:23 @ And he said to them, You are from below; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

rkjnt@John:8:24 @ Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you do not believe that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

rkjnt@John:8:25 @ Then they said to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, That which I have been saying to you from the beginning.

rkjnt@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say and to judge about you: but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.

rkjnt@John:8:27 @ They did not understood that he spoke to them of the Father.

rkjnt@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing by myself; but I speak these things as my Father has taught me.

rkjnt@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I always do those things that please him.

rkjnt@John:8:30 @ As he spoke these words, many believed in him.

rkjnt@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed;

rkjnt@John:8:32 @ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

rkjnt@John:8:33 @ They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how is it that you say, You shall be made free?

rkjnt@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the slave of sin.

rkjnt@John:8:35 @ And the slave does not abide in the house forever: but the Son abides forever.

rkjnt@John:8:36 @ If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

rkjnt@John:8:37 @ I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

rkjnt@John:8:38 @ I speak that which I have seen in the presence of my Father: and you do that which you have heard from your father.

rkjnt@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

rkjnt@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this Abraham did not do.

rkjnt@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father. Then they said to him, We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God.

rkjnt@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; for I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

rkjnt@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand my speech? it is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rkjnt@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

rkjnt@John:8:45 @ And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me.

rkjnt@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?

rkjnt@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears God's words: therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.

rkjnt@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not rightly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?

rkjnt@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, I do not have a devil; but I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

rkjnt@John:8:50 @ I do not seek my own glory: but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

rkjnt@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death.

rkjnt@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never taste of death.

rkjnt@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are also dead: whom do you make yourself out to be?

rkjnt@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me; of whom you say, that he is your God:

rkjnt@John:8:55 @ Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I do not know him, I would be a liar like you: but I do know him, and keep his word.

rkjnt@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

rkjnt@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

rkjnt@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.

rkjnt@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
