In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was GOD
Chapter 8
- But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
- But early in the morning He came
again into the temple, and all the people came to Him;
and He sat down and taught them. (Luke
5:3)
- Then the scribes and Pharisees brought
to Him a woman caught in adultery.
And when they had set her in
the midst,
- they said to Him, "Teacher, this
woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. (Ex. 20:14)
- "Now Moses, in the law, commanded
us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" (Lev. 20:10)
- This they said, testing Him, that
they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped
down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
- So when they continued asking Him,
He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you,
let him throw a stone at her first."
- And again He stooped down and wrote
on the ground.
- Then those who heard it, being convicted
by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even
to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the
midst. (Rom. 2:22)
- When Jesus had raised Himself up
and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those
accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"
- She said, "No one, Lord." And
Jesus said to her,
"Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." (John 3:17; John 5:14)
- Then Jesus spoke to them again,
saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall
not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 1:4; John 12:46; 1 Thess. 5:5)
- The Pharisees therefore said to
Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." (John 5:31)
- Jesus answered and said to them,
"Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know
where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I came
from and where I am going. (John 3:11;
_7:28; _9:29)
- "You judge according to flesh;
I judge no one. (John 7:24)
- "And yet if I do judge, My judgement
is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. (John 16:32)
- "It is also written in your law
that the testimony of two men is true. (Deut. 17:6; Deut. 19:15)
- "I am One who bears witness of
Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."
- Then they said to Him, "Where is
Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father.
If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." (John 14:7)
- These words Jesus spoke in the
treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him,
for His hour was not yet come. (Mark 12:41 - 43; John 2:4; _7:30;
John 7:8)
- Then Jesus said to them again,
"I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin.
Where I go you cannot come." (John 7:34;
_8:24; John 13:33)
- So the Jews said, "Will He kill
Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?"
- And he said to them, "You
are from beneath; I am from above.
"You are of this world, I am not of this world. (John 17:14; 1 John 4:5)
- "Therefore I said to you that you
will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you
will die in your sins." (Ezek.
3:18; John 8:21)
- Then they said to Him, "Who are
You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you
from the beginning. (John 4:26)
- "I have many things to say and
to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the
world those things which I heard from Him."
- They did not understand that He
spoke to them of the Father.
- Then Jesus said to them, "When
you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and
that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak
these things. (John 3:14; John 5:19; John 12:50; John 17:8)
-
"And He who sent Me is with Me.
The Father has not left Me alone,
for I always do those things that please Him." (Luke 22:42; John 4:34; 1 John 3:22)
- As He spoke these words, many believed
in Him. (John 7:31)
- Then Jesus said
to those Jews who believed Him,
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples
indeed. (John 14:15,
John 14:23)
- "And you shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
(John 1:14, __1:17;
Rom. 6:14, _6:18, _6:22)
- They answered Him, "We are Abraham's
descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You
say, 'You will be made free'?" (Matt. 3:9)
- Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly,
I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin.
- "And a slave does not abide in
the house forever, but a son abides forever. (Gal. 4:30)
- "Therefore if the Son makes you
free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:40)
- "I know that you are Abraham's
descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My words have no place
in you. (John 7:1; John 7:19)
- "I speak what I have seen with
My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."
(John 3:32; John
5:19; _5:30; John 12:49; John 14:10; John 14:24)
- They answered and said to Him,
"Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's
children, you would do the work of Abraham. (Gal. 3:7; James 2:22)
- "But now you seek to kill Me, a
Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham
did not do this. (John 7:1; John 8:36)
- "You do the deeds of your father."
Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have
one Father - God." (Is. 63:16)
- Jesus said to them, "If God were
your Father, you would love Me, for I proceed forth and came from God;
nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. ( John 17:8)
- "Why do you not understand My speech?
Because you are not able to listen to My word. (John 7:17)
- "You are of your father the devil,
and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for
he is a liar and the father of it.
- "But because I tell the truth,
you do not believe Me.
- "Which of you convicts Me of sin?
And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
- "He who is of God hears God's words;
therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
(John 10:26; 1 John 4:6; John 18:37)
- Then the Jews answered and said
to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?
(John 7:20; John 10:20)
- Jesus answered, "I do not have
a demon; but I honour My Father, and you dishonour Me.
- "And I do not seek My own glory;
there is One who seeks and judges. (John 5:41;
John 7:18)
- "Most assuredly, I say to you,
if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." (John 5:24; John 11:26)
- Then the Jews said to Him, "Now
we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets;
and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' (John 7:20; Zech. 1:5)
- "Are You greater than our father
Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make
Yourself out to be?" (John 10:33;
John 19:7)
- Jesus answered, "If I honour Myself,
My honour is nothing. It is My Father who honours Me, of whom you say
that He is your God. (John 5:31&32;
Acts 3:13)
- "Yet you have not known Him, but
I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like
you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
- "Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see My day, and he saw it and was glad." (Luke 10:24; Heb. 11:13)
- Then the Jews said to Him, "You
are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
- Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly,
I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." (Rev. 1:8)
- Then they took up stones to throw
at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the
midst of them, and so passed by. (Luke
4:30; John 11:8)
