Pharisees Can’t Meet the Prophecy Thus Try to Destroy the Prophet A. D. 29 Jerusalem - Temple John Joh 8:21 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.Joh 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.Joh 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.Joh 8:26 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.Joh 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.Joh 8:28 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.Joh 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.Joh 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.Joh 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.Joh 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.Joh 8:39 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.Joh 8:40 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.Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.Joh 8:42 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.Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.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.
