John 8:43-53 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
43
Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word.
44
You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47
Whoever is from God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is that you are not from God."
48
The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
49
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50
Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the judge.
51
Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death."
52
The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, "Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.'
53
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?"
