The Life of Jesus
The eternal Son of God enters history: born in Bethlehem, baptized in the Jordan, crucified at Golgotha, raised on the third day.
- John 8:39c. AD 33
They answered him, “Our father is Avraham.” Yeshua replied, “If you are children of Avraham, then do the things Avraham did!
- John 8:40c. AD 33
As it is, you are out to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Avraham did nothing like that!
- John 8:41c. AD 33
You are doing the things your father does.” “We’re not illegitimate children!” they said to him. “We have only one Father — God!”
- John 8:42c. AD 33
Yeshua replied to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me; because I came out from God; and now I have arrived here. I did not come on my own; he sent me.
- John 8:43c. AD 33
Why don’t you understand what I’m saying? Because you can’t bear to listen to my message.
- John 8:44c. AD 33
You belong to your father, Satan, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. From the start he was a murderer, and he has never stood by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is speaking in character; because he is a liar — indeed, the inventor of the lie!
- John 8:45c. AD 33
But as for me, because I tell the truth you don’t believe me.
- John 8:46c. AD 33
Which one of you can show me where I’m wrong? If I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?
- John 8:47c. AD 33
Whoever belongs to God listens to what God says; the reason you don’t listen is that you don’t belong to God.”
- John 8:48c. AD 33
The Judeans answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying you are from Shomron and have a demon?”
- John 8:49c. AD 33
Yeshua replied, “Me? I have no demon. I am honoring my Father. But you dishonor me.
- John 8:50c. AD 33
I am not seeking praise for myself. There is One who is seeking it, and he is the judge.
- John 8:51c. AD 33
Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever obeys my teaching will never see death.”
- John 8:52c. AD 33
The Judeans said to him, “Now we know for sure that you have a demon! Avraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘Whoever obeys my teaching will never taste death.’
- John 8:53c. AD 33
Avraham avinu died; you aren’t greater than he, are you? And the prophets also died. Who do you think you are?”
- John 8:54c. AD 33
Yeshua answered, “If I praise myself, my praise counts for nothing. The One who is praising me is my Father, the very one about whom you keep saying, ‘He is our God.’
- John 8:55c. AD 33
Now you have not known him, but I do know him; indeed, if I were to say that I don’t know him, I would be a liar like you! But I do know him, and I obey his word.
- John 8:56c. AD 33
Avraham, your father, was glad that he would see my day; then he saw it and was overjoyed.”
- John 8:57c. AD 33
“Why, you’re not yet fifty years old,” the Judeans replied, “and you have seen Avraham?”
- John 8:58c. AD 33
Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! Before Avraham came into being, I AM!”
- John 8:59c. AD 33
At this, they picked up stones to throw at him; but Yeshua was hidden and left the Temple grounds.
- John 9:1c. AD 33
As Yeshua passed along, he saw a man blind from birth.
- John 9:2c. AD 33
His talmidim asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned — this man or his parents — to cause him to be born blind?”
- John 9:3c. AD 33
Yeshua answered, “His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God’s power might be seen at work in him.
- John 9:4c. AD 33
As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming, when no one can work.
