Seeker Overlay ON

* The Jews answered and said to him , Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon ? * Jesus answered , I have not a demon ; but I honour my Father , and ye dishonour me . * But I do not seek my own glory : there is he that seeks and judges . * Verily , verily , I say unto you , If any one shall keep my word , he shall never see death . * The Jews therefore said to him , Now we know that thou hast a demon . Abraham has died , and the prophets , and thou sayest , If any one keep my word , he shall never taste death . * Art thou greater than our father Abraham , who has died ? and the prophets have died : whom makest thou thyself ? * Jesus answered , If I glorify myself , my glory is nothing : it is my Father who glorifies me , [of ] whom ye say , He is our God . * And ye know him not ; but I know him ; and if I said , I know him not , I should be like you , a liar . But I know him , and I keep his word . * Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day , and he saw and rejoiced . * The Jews therefore said to him , Thou hast not yet fifty years , and hast thou seen Abraham ? * Jesus said to them , Verily , verily , I say unto you , Before Abraham was , I am . * They took up therefore stones that they might cast [them ] at him ; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple , [going through the midst of them , and thus passed on .]
