unto them, Even _the same_
that I said unto you from the
beginning.
26 I have many things to say,
and to judge of you: but he
that sent me, is true; and I
speak to the world those
things which I have heard of
him.
27 They understood not that he
spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them,
When ye have lifted up the Son
of man, then shall ye know
that I am _he_, and _that_ I
do nothing of myself; but as
my Father hath taught me, I
speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with
me: the Father hath not left
me alone; for I do always
those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words,
many believed on him.(209)
31 Then said Jesus to those
Jews which believed on him, If
ye continue in my word, _then_
are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall
make you free.
33 They answered him, We be
Abraham’s seed, and were never
in bondage to any man: how
sayest thou, Ye shall be made
free?
34 Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Whosoever committeth sin,
is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not
in the house for ever, _but_
the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall
make you free, ye shall be
free indeed.
37 I know that ye are
Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word hath
no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have
seen with my Father: and ye do
that which ye have seen with
your father.
39 They answered and said unto
him, Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto them, If ye
were Abraham’s children, ye
would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me,
a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of
God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your
father. Then said they to him,
We be 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 proceeded forth
and came from God; neither
came I of myself, but he sent
me.
43 Why do ye not understand my
speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word.
44 Ye are of _your_ father the
devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do: he was a
murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth;
because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he
is a liar, and the father of
it.
45 And because I tell you the
truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me
of sin? And if I say the
truth, why do ye not believe
me?
47 He that is of God, heareth
God’s words: ye therefore hear
_them_ not, because ye are not
of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and
said unto him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and
hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not
a devil: but I honour my
Father, and ye do dishonour
me.
50 And I seek not mine own
glory: there is one that
seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto
him, Now we know that thou
hast a devil. Abraham is dead,
and the prophets; and thou
