John 8:21-39

²¹Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.

²²Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?

²³And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.

²⁴I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.

²⁵Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.

²⁶I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.

²⁷They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.

²⁸Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.

²⁹For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.

³⁰As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.

³¹Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

³²And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

³³They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

³⁴Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

³⁵And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

³⁶If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

³⁷I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.

³⁸I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.

³⁹They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
