Jesus’ Claims About Himself

⁴⁸ The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan^(A) and demon-possessed?”^(B)

²⁰ “You are demon-possessed,”^(A) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”

⁵² At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!^(A) Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.

²⁰ Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed^(A) and raving mad.^(B) Why listen to him?”

⁹ The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan^(A) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.^[a])

¹⁹ You believe that there is one God.^(A) Good! Even the demons believe that^(B)—and shudder.

³ For even Christ did not please himself^(A) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”^[a](B)

¹³ “You call me ‘Teacher’^(A) and ‘Lord,’^(B) and rightly so, for that is what I am.

⁷ You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

³¹ And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.^(A)
