22So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?
23And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.
25Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.
26I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.
27They did not see that his words were about the Father.
28So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.
29He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.
30When he said this a number came to have faith in him.
31Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.
33They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?
34And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.
35Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.
36If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.
37I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.
38I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.
39In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.
40But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.
41You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.
42Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.
43Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.
44You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.
45But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.
46Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?
47He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.
48The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?
49And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.
