Divers opinions of Christ. the dispersed among the Gentiles, and, that they might have to accuse b teach the Gentiles? 36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 33 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly sball flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake be of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet gen; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him. 44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees: and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And every man went unto his own house. CHAP. VIII. JESUS went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded os, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, But Jesus stooped down, and with r finger wrote on the ground, as thoug's he heard them not. 7 So, when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and sai unto them, He that is without sin, among you, let him first cast a ston: at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jese was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. To When Jesus had lifted up hinself, and saw none but the woman, le said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I con demn thee: go, and sin no more. 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unte him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though 1 bear record of myself yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh: I judge no man. 16 And yet if I judge, my judgmen is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, fe neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known iny Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither i go, ye cannot come. 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 241 said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye befieve not that l ́am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, CHAP. IX. The Jews' boasting reproved. Even the same that I said unto you 1rom the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is rue; and speak to the world those things which I have beard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 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. 20 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for i do always those things that please Lim. 30 A he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ve shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered hun, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. in 35 And the servant phage the house for ever: bus the Son abideth for ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto bin, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If we were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 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. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then sa'd they to him, We he not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 49 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God neither came 1 of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot bear my word. 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, be cause there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, be speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, şe believe me not. Christ health the blind. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 Then answered the Jew, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him. Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, 1 a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 64 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: 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him and if I should say, I know an not, I shall be a liar hike unto you: but I know him, and keep his saving. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 59 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abiaham was, I ain. 59 Then took they ap stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going througa the midst of them, and so passed by.
