John:8:36-51
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If the Son therefore shall make you free ,
ye shall be free indeed .
*
I know that ye are Abraham '
s seed ;
but ye seek to kill me ,
because my word hath no place in you .
*
I speak that which I have seen with my Father :
and ye do that which ye have seen with your father .
*
They answered and said unto him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus saith unto them ,
If ye were Abraham '
s children ,
ye would do the works of Abraham .
*
But now ye seek to kill me ,
a man that hath told you the truth ,
which I have heard of God :
this did not Abraham .
*
Ye do the deeds of your father .
Then said they to him ,
We be not born of fornication ;
we have one Father ,
even God .
*
Jesus said unto them ,
If God were your Father ,
ye would love me :
for I proceeded forth and came from God ;
neither came I of myself ,
but he sent me .
*
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 .
