this world; I am not from this world. [8:24]Therefore I said to
you, You shall die in your sins; for if you believe not that I am [the
Christ], you shall die in your sins. [8:25] Then they said to him, Who
are you? And Jesus said to them, What at the beginning, and what I tell
you [now]. [8:26]I have many things to say and judge of you; but he
that sent me is true; and what I have heard from him, these things I
speak in the world. [8:27]They understood not that he spoke to them of
the Father. [8:28]Then Jesus said to them, When you shall lift up the
Son of man, then shall you know that I am [the Christ]; and I do
nothing of myself; but I speak these things as the Father has taught
me; [8:29]and he having sent me is with me, he has not left me alone,
for I always do the things which please him.

3 [8:30]When he said these things many believed on him. [8:31]Then

[8:38]What I have seen with my Father I speak, and you also do what you
have heard from your father. [8:39]They answered and said to him, Our
father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham,
you would have done the works of Abraham; [8:40]but now you seek to
kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God;
Abraham did not do this. [8:41]You do the works of your father. They
said to him, We were not born by fornication, we have one father, God.
[8:42]Jesus said to them, If God was your father you would have loved
me; for I came forth and come from God; for I came not of myself, but
he sent me. [8:43]Why do you not understand my speech? because you
cannot hear my word. [8:44]You are of your father the devil, and the
