Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:14 - Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:15 - You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:16 - Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:17 - In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:18 - I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:20 - These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:21 - Again he said to them, "I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:26 - I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:31 - Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:34 - Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:35 - The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:36 - So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:37 - I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:38 - I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:39 - They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:40 - but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:41 - You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:42 - Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:43 - Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:44 - You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:45 - But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:46 - Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:47 - He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:48 - The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:49 - Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:50 - Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:51 - Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:52 - The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:53 - Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:54 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:56 - Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:57 - The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:58 - Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:59 - So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
