36 the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. If therefore the Son 37 shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word [5]hath 38 not free course in you. I speak the things which I have seen with [6]_my_ Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from 39 _your_ father. They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye [7]were Abraham's children, 40 [8]ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did 41 not Abraham. Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, _even_ God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of 43 myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not [9]understand my speech? 44 _Even_ because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of _your_ father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and [10]stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. [11]When he speaketh a lie, he 45 speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. But 46 because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you 47 convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear 48 _them_ not, because ye are not of God. The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a 49 [12]devil? Jesus answered, I have not a [12]devil; but I honour my 50 Father, and ye dishonour me. But I seek not mine own glory: there 51 is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, 52 If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a [12]devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall 53 never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou 54 thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is 55 your God; and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but 56 I know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced [13]to 57 see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen 58 Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, 59 Before Abraham [14]was, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus [15]hid himself, and went out of the temple[16].
