Part 14

43:008:026 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

43:008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

43:008:028 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

43:008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

43:008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

43:008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

43:008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

43:008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

43:008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

43:008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

43:008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

43:008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

43:008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

43:008:039 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

43:008:040 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

43:008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

43:008:042 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43:008:043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

43:008:044 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

43:008:045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

43:008:046 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

43:008:047 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

43:008:048 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

43:008:049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

43:008:050 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

43:008:051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

43:008:052 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

43:008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
