ylt @John:8:12 @Again , therefore , Jesus spake to them , saying , 'I am the light of the world ; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness , but he shall have the light of the life .' ylt @John:8:13 @The Pharisees , therefore , said to him , 'Thou of thyself dost testify , thy testimony is not true ;' ylt @John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them , 'And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true , because I have known whence I came , and whither I go , and ye -- ye have not known whence I come , or whither I go . ylt @John:8:15 @'Ye according to the flesh do judge ; I do not judge any one , ylt @John:8:16 @and even if I do judge my judgment is true , because I am not alone , but I and the Father who sent me ; ylt @John:8:17 @and also in your law it hath been written , that the testimony of two men are true ; ylt @John:8:18 @I am [one ] who is testifying of myself , and the Father who sent me doth testify of me .' ylt @John:8:19 @They said , therefore , to him , 'Where is thy father ?' Jesus answered , 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father : if me ye had known , my Father also ye had known .' ylt @John:8:20 @These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury , teaching in the temple , and no one seized him , because his hour had not yet come ; ylt @John:8:21 @therefore said Jesus again to them , 'I go away , and ye will seek me , and in your sin ye shall die ; whither I go away , ye are not able to come .' ylt @John:8:22 @The Jews , therefore , said , 'Will he kill himself , because he saith , Whither I go away , ye are not able to come ?' ylt @John:8:23 @and he said to them , 'Ye are from beneath , I am from above ; ye are of this world , I am not of this world ; ylt @John:8:24 @I said , therefore , to you , that ye shall die in your sins , for if ye may not believe that I am [he ], ye shall die in your sins .' ylt @John:8:25 @They said , therefore , to him , 'Thou -- who art thou ?' and Jesus said to them , 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning ; ylt @John:8:26 @many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge , but He who sent me is true , and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world .' ylt @John:8:27 @They knew not that of the Father he spake to them ; ylt @John:8:28 @Jesus , therefore , said to them , 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he ]; and of myself I do nothing , but according as my Father did teach me , these things I speak ; ylt @John:8:29 @and He who sent me is with me ; the Father did not leave me alone , because I , the things pleasing to Him , do always .' ylt @John:8:30 @As he is speaking these things , many believed in him ; ylt @John:8:31 @Jesus , therefore , said unto the Jews who believed in him , 'If ye may remain in my word , truly my disciples ye are , and ye shall know the truth , ylt @John:8:32 @and the truth shall make you free .' ylt @John:8:33 @They answered him , 'Seed of Abraham we are ; and to no one have we been servants at any time ; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free ?' ylt @John:8:34 @Jesus answered them , 'Verily , verily , I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin , is a servant of the sin , ylt @John:8:35 @and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age , the son doth remain -- to the age ; ylt @John:8:36 @if then the son may make you free , in reality ye shall be free . ylt @John:8:37 @'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham , but ye seek to kill me , because my word hath no place in you ; ylt @John:8:38 @I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak , and ye , therefore , that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do .' ylt @John:8:39 @They answered and said to him , 'Our father is Abraham ;' Jesus saith to them , 'If children of Abraham ye were , the works of Abraham ye were doing ; ylt @John:8:40 @and now , ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God ; this Abraham did not ; ylt @John:8:41 @ye do the works of your father .' They said , therefore , to him , 'We of whoredom have not been born ; one Father we have -- God ;' ylt @John:8:42 @Jesus then said to them , 'If God were your father , ye were loving me , for I came forth from God , and am come ; for neither have I come of myself , but He sent me ; ylt @John:8:43 @wherefore do ye not know my speech ? because ye are not able to hear my word . ylt @John:8:44 @'Ye are of a father -- the devil , and the desires of your father ye will to do ; he was a man-slayer from the beginning , and in the truth he hath not stood , because there is no truth in him ; when one may speak the falsehood , of his own he speaketh , because he is a liar -- also his father . ylt @John:8:45 @'And because I say the truth , ye do not believe me . ylt @John:8:46 @Who of you doth convict me of sin ? and if I speak truth , wherefore do ye not believe me ? ylt @John:8:47 @he who is of God , the sayings of God he doth hear ; because of this ye do not hear , because of God ye are not .' ylt @John:8:48 @The Jews , therefore , answered and said to him , 'Do we not say well , that thou art a Samaritan , and hast a demon ?' ylt @John:8:49 @Jesus answered , 'I have not a demon , but I honour my Father , and ye dishonour me ; ylt @John:8:50 @and I do not seek my own glory ; there is who is seeking and is judging ; ylt @John:8:51 @verily , verily , I say to you , If any one may keep my word , death he may not see -- to the age .' ylt @John:8:52 @The Jews , therefore , said to him , 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon ; Abraham did die , and the prophets , and thou dost say , If any one may keep my word , he shall not taste of death -- to the age ! ylt @John:8:53 @Art thou greater than our father Abraham , who died ? and the prophets died ; whom dost thou make thyself ?' ylt @John:8:54 @Jesus answered , 'If I glorify myself , my glory is nothing ; it is my Father who is glorifying me , of whom ye say that He is your God ; ylt @John:8:55 @and ye have not known Him , and I have known Him , and if I say that I have not known Him , I shall be like you -- speaking falsely ; but I have known Him , and His word I keep ; ylt @John:8:56 @Abraham , your father , was glad that he might see my day ; and he saw , and did rejoice .' ylt @John:8:57 @The Jews , therefore , said unto him , 'Thou art not yet fifty years old , and Abraham hast thou seen ?' ylt @John:8:58 @Jesus said to them , 'Verily , verily , I say to you , Before Abraham 's coming -- I am ;' ylt @John:8:59 @they took up , therefore , stones that they may cast at him , but Jesus hid himself , and went forth out of the temple , going through the midst of them , and so passed by .
