Line 1,574: Line 1,574:  
Jesus answered them, I did one work and you all marvel because of it. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the "Sabbath"? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge "righteous" judgment.

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, Is this "not-he" whom they seek to kill"? Behold, he speaks openly and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ"? However, we "know" where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, "no-one" will know where he comes from. (The Christ is the Anointed of God.)

They answered him, We are "Abraham’s" offspring and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, You will be made free?

They answered him, We are "Abraham’s" offspring and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, You will be made free?  
   −
Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. A bondservant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.

Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your father you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speech. Because you cannot hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. 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 on his own; for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me. He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God.

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God. You have not known him, but I know him. If I said I do not know him, I would be like "yew", a liar. But I know him and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my "day". He saw it and was glad.

Most certainly I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber. But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.
