When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. 008:045 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me. 008:046 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 008:047 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God." 008:048 Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?" 008:049 Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 008:050 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. 008:051 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." 008:052 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' 008:053 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" 008:054 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God. 008:055 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word. 008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." 008:057 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" 008:058 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM." 008:059 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst of them, and so passed by. 009:001 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 009:002 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 009:003 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. 009:004 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. 009:005 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 009:006 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, 009:007 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. 009:008 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" 009:009 Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he." 009:010 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" 009:011 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes,
