John:8:12-59

nasb@John:8:12 @Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, " I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

nasb@John:8:13 @So the Pharisees said to Him, " You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true."

nasb@John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them, " Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

nasb@John:8:15" @ You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.

nasb@John:8:16" @But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

nasb@John:8:17" @Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

nasb@John:8:18" @I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

nasb@John:8:19 @So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

nasb@John:8:20 @These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:8:21 @Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

nasb@John:8:22 @So the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ' Where I am going, you cannot come'?"

nasb@John:8:23 @And He was saying to them, " You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

nasb@John:8:24" @Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

nasb@John:8:25 @So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

nasb@John:8:26" @I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

nasb@John:8:27 @They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

nasb@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

nasb@John:8:29" @And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

nasb@John:8:30 @As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

nasb@John:8:31 @So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, " If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

nasb@John:8:32 @and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

nasb@John:8:33 @They answered Him, " We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"

nasb@John:8:34 @Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

nasb@John:8:35" @ The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.

nasb@John:8:36" @So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

nasb@John:8:37" @I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nasb@John:8:38" @I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."

nasb@John:8:39 @They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, " If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.

nasb@John:8:40" @But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

nasb@John:8:41" @You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father- God."

nasb@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.

nasb@John:8:43" @Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

nasb@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. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

nasb@John:8:45" @But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

nasb@John:8:46" @Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

nasb@John:8:47" @ He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."

nasb@John:8:48 @The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

nasb@John:8:49 @Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nasb@John:8:50" @But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

nasb@John:8:51" @Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death."

nasb@John:8:52 @The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.'

nasb@John:8:53" @Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"

nasb@John:8:54 @Jesus answered, " If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';

nasb@John:8:55 @and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

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

nasb@John:8:57 @So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

nasb@John:8:58 @Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."

nasb@John:8:59 @Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.
