Revised Version 1885

John 8:43-55 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

43. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

45. But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

46. Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

47. He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48. The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.

50. But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

51. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

52. The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

53. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54. Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

55. and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
