John 8:45-59 ▼

45 And because I tel you the trueth, therfore ye beleue me not.

46 Which of you rebuketh me of sinne? Yf I say the trueth, why do not ye beleue me?

47 He that is of god, heareth gods wordes. Ye therfore heare the not, because ye are not of God.

48 Then aunswered the Iewes, & saide vnto hym: Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast the deuyl?

49 Iesus aunswered, I haue not the deuyll: but I honour my father, and ye haue dishonoured me.

50 I seke not myne owne praise, there is one that seketh, and iudgeth.

51 Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer see death.

52 Then sayde the Iewes vnto hym: Now know we that thou hast ye deuyll. Abraham is dead, & the prophetes: and thou sayest, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death.

53 Art thou greater the our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophetes are dead: whom makest thou thy selfe?

54 Iesus aunswered: Yf I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye say is your God:

55 And yet ye haue not knowen him, but I knowe hym: And if I say I knowe hym not, I shalbe a lyer lyke vnto you. But I knowe hym, & kepe his saying.

56 Your father Abraham was glad to see my day: and he saw it, and reioyced.

57 Then sayde the Iewes vnto hym: Thou art not yet fiftie yeres olde, & hast thou seene Abraham.

58 Iesus sayde vnto them: Ueryly, veryly I saye vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then toke they vp stones to caste at hym: but Iesus hyd hym selfe, and went out of the temple.
