^10 (A)Many will be purged, ^[a]purified, and refined, but the ^(B)wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but ^[b]those who ^(C)have insight will understand.

²¹ But he who ^(A)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been done by God.”

⁴³ Why do you not understand ^[a](A)what I am saying? It is because you cannot ^(B)hear My word. ^44 (C)You are of ^(D)your father the devil, and ^(E)you want to do the desires of your father. ^(F)He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because ^(G)there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks ^[b]a lie, he ^(H)speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of ^[c]lies. ⁴⁵ But because ^(I)I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. ⁴⁶ Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If ^(J)I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? ^47 (K)He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

^48 (L)The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a ^(M)Samaritan and ^(N)have a demon?” ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not ^(O)have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. ⁵⁰ But ^(P)I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ^(Q)keeps My word he will never ^(R)see death—ever.” ^52 (S)The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You ^(T)have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone ^(U)keeps My word, he will never ^(V)taste of death—ever.’ ⁵³ Surely You ^(W)are not greater than our father Abraham who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?” ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “^(X)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ^(Y)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; ⁵⁵ and ^(Z)you have not known Him, ^(AA)but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ^(AB)a liar like you, ^(AC)but I do know Him and ^(AD)keep His word. ^56 (AE)Your father Abraham ^(AF)rejoiced ^[d]to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” ^57 (AG)So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, ^(AH)I am.” ⁵⁹ Therefore they ^(AI)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ^[e](AJ)hid Himself and went out of the temple.
