Joh:8:44: 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.
Joh:8:45: And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Joh:8:46: Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Joh:8:47: He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Joh:8:48: Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Joh:8:49: Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Joh:8:50: And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Joh:8:51: Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Joh:8:52: 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.
Joh:8:53: Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Joh:8:54: Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Joh:8:55: Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Joh:8:56: Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Joh:8:57: Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Joh:8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Joh:8:59: Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Chapter 9
Joh:9:1: And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
Joh:9:2: And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Joh:9:3: Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Joh:9:4: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Joh:9:5: As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Joh:9:6: When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
Joh:9:7: And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Joh:9:8: The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
Joh:9:9: Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
Joh:9:10: Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
Joh:9:11: He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Joh:9:12: Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
Joh:9:13: They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
Joh:9:14: And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Joh:9:15: Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
Joh:9:16: Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Joh:9:17: They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
Joh:9:18: But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
