*
The Pharisees therefore said to him ,
Thou bearest witness of thyself ;
thy witness is not true .
*
Jesus answered and said to them ,
Though I bear witness of myself ,
my witness is true ;
for I know whence I came ,
and whither I go ;
ye know not whence I come ,
or whither I go .
*
Ye judge according to the flesh ;
I judge no one .
*
But even if I myself should judge ,
my judgment is true ,
because I am not alone ,
but I and he who sent me .
*
Moreover ,
it is written in your law ,
that the witness of two men is true .
*
I am one who bear witness of myself ,
and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me .
*
They said therefore to him ,
Where is thy Father ?
Jesus answered ,
Ye know neither me ,
nor my Father .
If ye knew me ,
ye would know my Father also .
*
These words he spoke in the treasury ,
while teaching in the temple ;
and no one laid hands on him ,
because his hour had not yet come .
*
Again therefore he said to them ,
I go away ,
and ye will seek me ,
and will die in your sin .
Whither I go ,
ye cannot come .
*
The Jews therefore said ,
Will he kill himself ,
that he saith ,
Whither I go ,
ye cannot come ?
*
And he said to them ,
Ye are from beneath ,
I am from above ;
ye are of this world ,
I am not of this world .
*
Therefore I said to you ,
that ye will die in your sins ;
for unless ye believe that I am He ,
ye will die in your sins .
*
They said therefore to him ,
Who art thou ?
Jesus said to them ,
In the first place ,
I am just that which I speak to you .
*
I have many things to say ,
and to judge ,
concerning you ;
but he who sent me is true ;
and I speak to the world what I heard from him .
*
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father .
*
Jesus therefore said ,
When ye have lifted up the Son of man ,
then ye will know that I am He ,
and do nothing of myself ,
but speak these things as the Father taught me .
*
And he that sent me is with me ;
he hath not left me alone ,
for I always do the things that please him .
*
As he spoke these words ,
many believed in him .
*
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him ,
If ye continue in my word ,
ye are truly my disciples ;
*
and ye will know the truth ,
and the truth will make you free .
*
They answered him ,
We are Abraham
s offspring ,
and have never been in bondage to any one ;
how sayest ,
thou ,
Ye will be made free ?
*
Jesus answered them ,
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
Every one that committeth sin is a bond
servant of sin .
*
And the bond
servant abideth not in the house for ever ;
the son abideth for ever .
*
If therefore the Son make you free ,
ye will be free indeed .
*
I know that ye are Abraham
s offspring ;
but ye seek to kill me ,
because my word is not received within you .
*
I speak what I have seen with the Father ;
and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father .
*
They answered and said to him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus saith to 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 spoken to you the truth ,
which I heard from God ;
this did not Abraham .
*
Ye do the works of your father .
They said to him ,
We were not born of fornication ;
we have one Father ,
God .
*
Jesus said to them ,
If God were your father ,
ye would love me ;
for from God I proceeded forth and am come ;
neither came I of myself ,
but he sent me .
*
Why do ye not understand my language ?
It is because ye cannot listen to my word .
*
Ye are of your father the Devil ,
and what your father desireth ye are ready to do .
He was a murderer from the beginning ;
and he abideth not in the truth ,
because there is no truth in him .
When he speaketh a lie ,
he speaketh from his own nature ;
for he is a liar ,
and the father of it .
*
But because I speak the truth ,
ye believe me not .
*
Which of you convicteth me of sin ?
If I speak truth ,
Why do ye not believe me ?
*
He that is of God heareth God
s words ;
for this cause ye do not hear ,
because ye are not of God .
*
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 honor my Father ,
and ye dishonor me .
*
But I seek not my own glory ;
there is one that seeketh and judgeth .
*
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
If any one keep my word ,
he will never see death .
*
The Jews said to him ,
Now we know that thou hast a demon .
Abraham died ,
and the prophets ;
and thou sayest ,
If any one keep my word ,
he will never taste of death .
*
Art thou greater than our father Abraham ,
who died ?
The prophets also died .
Whom dost thou make thyself ?
*
Jesus answered ,
If I glorify myself ,
my glory is nothing .
It is my Father that glorifieth me ,
of whom ye say ,
He is our God :
*
yet ye know him not ;
but I know him .
And if I should say ,
I know him not ,
I should be a liar like you .
But I know him ,
and keep his word .
*
Your father Abraham exulted that he might see my day ;
and he saw it ,
and was glad .
*
The Jews therefore said to him ,
Thou art not yet fifty years old ,
and hast thou seen Abraham ?
*
Jesus said to them ,
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
From before Abraham was ,
I have been .
*
They therefore took up stones to throw at him ;
but Jesus concealed himself ,
and went out of the temple .
