"You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Again He said to them, "I am going away.

"How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you.

Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>And He who sent me is with me.

Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>"Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, "are not illegitimate children.

I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth—for there is no truth in him.

"On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me—and who judges. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/8-52.htm"><b>52</b></a></span>"Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed by a demon.
