John 8:16-39

¹⁶and if I deem, my doom is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true.

¹⁸I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me.

¹⁹Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.

²⁰Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took him, for his hour came not yet.

²¹Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come.

²²Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come?

²³And he said to them, Ye be of beneath, I am of above; ye be of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing, which and I also speak to you.

²⁶I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him.

²⁷And they knew not, that he called his Father God.

²⁸Therefore Jesus said to them, When ye have araised man’s Son, then ye shall know, that I am, and of myself I do nothing; but as my Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do ever-more those things, that be pleasing to him.

³⁰When he spake these things, many believed in him.

³¹Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples;

³²and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to man or and to no man we served ever; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

³⁴Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵And the servant dwelleth not in the house without end, but the Son dwelleth without end.

³⁶Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free.

³⁷I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.

³⁸I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.

³⁹They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.
