John 8:40-59

40But as it is, 1you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has 2told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 41You are doing the deeds of 3your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; 4we have one Father: God.” 42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, 5you would love Me, 6for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have 7not even come on My own initiative, but 89He sent Me. 43Why do you not understand 1011what I am saying? It is because you cannot 12hear My word. 4413You are of 14your father the devil, and 15you want to do the desires of your father. 16He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because 17there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks 18a lie, he 19speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of 20lies. 45But because 21I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. 46Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If 22I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 4723He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

4824The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a 25Samaritan and 26have a demon?” 49Jesus answered, “I do not 27have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50But 28I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone 29keeps My word he will never 30see death.” 5231The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You 32have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone 33keeps My word, he will never 34taste of death.’ 53Surely You 35are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?” 54Jesus answered, “36If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; 37it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; 55and 38you have not come to know Him, 39but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be 40a liar like you, 41but I do know Him and 42keep His word. 5643Your father Abraham 44rejoiced 45to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 5746So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham 47was born, 48I am.” 59Therefore they 49picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus 5051hid Himself and went out of the temple.
