John 8:31-59
Wycliffe Bible
31 Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily ye shall be my disciples;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to [no] man; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free [how sayest thou, Ye shall be free]?
34 Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is [the] servant of sin.
35 And the servant dwelleth not in the house without end [into without end], but the Son dwelleth without end [into without end].
36 Therefore if the Son [shall] make you free, verily ye shall be free.
37 I know that ye be Abraham's sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.
38 I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.
39 They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you [the] truth, that I heard of God; Abraham did not this thing.
41 Ye do the works of your father. Therefore they said to him [And so they said to him], We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.
42 But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, and came [forsooth I proceeded, or went forth, of God, and came]; for neither I came of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why know ye not my speech? for ye be not able to hear my word.
44 Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh lying [When he speaketh a lying], he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.
45 But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.
46 Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say truth, why believe ye not to me?
47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, for ye be not of God.
48 Therefore the Jews answered, and said [to him], Whether we say not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me.
50 For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end. [Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man shall keep my word, he shall not see, or taste, death into without end.]
52 Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end [he shall not taste death into without end].
53 Whether thou art greater than our father Abraham, that is dead, and the prophets be dead; whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nought; my Father is, that glorifieth me, whom ye say, that he is your God.
55 And ye have not known him, but I have known him; and if I [shall] say that I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you; but I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Abraham, your father, gladded to see my day [Abraham, your father, gladded, or full out joyed, that he should see my day]; and he saw, and joyed.
57 Then the Jews said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Therefore Jesus said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, before that Abraham should be, I am. [Therefore Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before that Abraham was made, I am.]
59 Therefore they took stones, to cast to him; but Jesus hid him(self), and went out of the temple.
