JOHN 8:21-47
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.
8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, 
ye cannot come.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
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.
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.
8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my 
word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
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?
8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth 
sin is the servant of sin.
8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth 
ever.
8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word 
hath no place in you.
8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye 
have seen with your father.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
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.
8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not 
believe me?
8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because 
ye are not of God.
