nkjv John:8:33-59
nkjv@John:8:33 @ They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free'?"
nkjv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
nkjv@John:8:35 @ And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
nkjv@John:8:36 @ Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
nkjv@John:8:37 @ "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
nkjv@John:8:38 @ I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."
nkjv@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
nkjv@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
nkjv@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
nkjv@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
nkjv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
nkjv@John:8:45 @ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
nkjv@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
nkjv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
nkjv@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
nkjv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
nkjv@John:8:50 @ And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
nkjv@John:8:51 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'
nkjv@John:8:53 @ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"
nkjv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.
nkjv@John:8:55 @ Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
nkjv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
nkjv@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
nkjv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
nkjv@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
