John 8:40-59

40But as it is, 1you are seekingG2212 to killG615 Me, a manG444 whoG3739 has 2toldG2980 you the truthG225, whichG3739 I heardG191 from GodG2316; thisG3778 AbrahamG11 did not doG4160. 41You are doingG4160 the deedsG2041 of 3your fatherG3962.” They saidG3004 to Him, “We were not bornG1080 of fornicationG4202; 4we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962: GodG2316.” 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 5you would loveG25 Me, 6for I proceededG1831 forthG1831 and haveG2240 comeG2240 from GodG2316, for I have 7not evenG3761 comeG2064 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but 89He sentG649 Me. 43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 1011whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 12hearG191 My wordG3056. 4413You are of 14your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 15you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 16He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 17there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he speaksG2980 18a lieG5579, he 19speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, for he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 20liesG846. 45But becauseG3754 21I speakG3004 the truthG225, you do not believeG4100 Me. 46WhichG5101 oneG5101 of you convictsG1651 Me of sinG266? IfG1487 22I speakG3004 truthG225, whyG1223G5101 do you not believeG4100 Me? 4723He who is of GodG2316 hearsG191 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 you do not hearG191 them, becauseG3754 you are not of GodG2316.”

4824The JewsG2453 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “Do we not sayG3004 rightlyG2573 that You are a 25SamaritanG4541 and 26haveG2192 a demonG1140?” 49JesusG2424 answeredG611, “I do not 27haveG2192 a demonG1140; but I honorG5091 My FatherG3962, and you dishonorG818 Me. 50But 28I do not seekG2212 My gloryG1391; there is One who seeksG2212 and judgesG2919. 51TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 29keepsG5083 My wordG3056 he will neverG3756G3361 30seeG2334 deathG2288.” 5231The JewsG2453 saidG3004 to Him, “NowG3568 we knowG1097 that You 32haveG2192 a demonG1140. AbrahamG11 diedG599, and the prophetsG4396 also; and You sayG3004, ‘IfG1437 anyoneG5100 33keepsG5083 My wordG3056, he will neverG3756G3361 34tasteG1089 of deathG2288.’ 53SurelyG3361 You 35are not greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, whoG3748 diedG599? The prophetsG4396 diedG599 tooG2532; whomG5101 do You makeG4160 YourselfG4572 out to be?” 54JesusG2424 answeredG611, “36IfG1437 I glorifyG1392 MyselfG1683, My gloryG1391 is nothingG3762; 37it is My FatherG3962 who glorifiesG1392 Me, of whomG3739 you sayG3004, ‘He is our GodG2316’; 55and 38you have not come to knowG1097 Him, 39but I knowG3609 Him; and ifG2579 I sayG3004 that I do not knowG3609 Him, I will be 40a liarG5583 likeG3664 you, 41but I do knowG3609 Him and 42keepG5083 His wordG3056. 5643Your fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 44rejoicedG21 45to seeG3708 My dayG2250, and he sawG3708 it and was gladG5463.” 5746SoG3767 the JewsG2453 saidG3004 to Him, “You are not yetG3768 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094 old, and have You seenG3708 AbrahamG11?” 58JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, beforeG4250 AbrahamG11 47was bornG1096, 48I amG1510.” 59ThereforeG3767 they 49pickedG142 up stonesG3037 to throwG906 at Him, but JesusG2424 5051hidG2928 Himself and wentG1831 out of the templeG2413.
