44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your
father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks
according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But
because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which of you convicts
me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is of
God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you
are not of God."
48 The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you
are a Samaritan and have a demon?" 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a
demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek
my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge. 51
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see
death." 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon!
Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my
word, he will never taste death.' 53 Are you greater than our father
Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?" 54
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father
who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God. 55 But you have
not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I would be a liar
like you; but I do know him and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad." 57 The Jews then said to
him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" 58
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
59 So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and
went out of the temple.

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his
disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he
was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man sinned nor his
parents sinned. But that the works of God might be revealed in him, 4 we
must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is
coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world." 6 As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay
of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay. 7 And he said to
him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means, Sent). So he went
and washed, and came back seeing. 8 The neighbors and those who had
seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and
beg?" 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He
said, "I am the man."10 They said to him, "Then how were your eyes
opened?" 11 He answered and said, "A man called Jesus made clay and
anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So
I went and washed, and I received sight." 12 They said to him, "Where is
he?" He said, "I do not know."
