Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 8
⁵⁰ And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God is going to glorify me. He is the true judge.
⁵¹ I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!”
⁵² The people said, “Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the prophets died, but you say, ‘Anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!’
⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “If I want glory for myself, it doesn’t count. But it is my Father who will glorify me. You say, ‘He is our God,’
⁵⁵ but you don’t even know him. I know him. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But I do know him and obey him.
⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad.”
⁵⁷ The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?”
⁵⁸ Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!”
⁵⁹ At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.
John 9
¹ As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
