48 And the Jews answered and said unto him, 'Is it not true that we say that thou art a Samaritan, and that a demon is in thee?'

49 Jesus answered, "There is no demon in me; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

50 Yet I do not seek my glory: there is one who seeks and one who judges.

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever keepeth my word shall never see death.

52 And the Jews said unto him, 'Now we know that the devil is in thee.' Abraham died, and the prophets, and Thou sayest, Whosoever keepeth My word shall never taste death.

53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets are dead: with what do you make yourself?

54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing." My Father glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

55 And ye have not known him, but I know him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you. But I know Him and keep His word.

59 Then they took stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and went on.

3 Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents have sinned, but *this* *for* *that* the works of God may be manifested in him.

4 I must do the works of him who sent me, while there is a day; the night comes when no one can do.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 And when he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay out of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with it,

7 And he said unto him, Go and wash thyself in the pool of Siloam, which is signified, He that hath been sent. He went and washed, and came seeing.
