I am a Man Who has told you the truth as I heard it from God. Now you are trying to kill Me. Abraham never did anything like that.

You are doing the works of your father." They said to Him, "We were born of parents who were faithful in marriage. We have one Father. He is God."

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love Me. I came from God. I did not come on My own, but God sent Me.

Whoever is born of God listens to God's Word. You do not hear His Word because you are not born of God."

Jesus said, "If I honor Myself, My honor would be worth nothing. My Father honors Me. You say He is your God.

Then they picked up stones to throw at Him. Jesus hid Himself *and left the house of God.

Jesus answered, "The sin of this man or the sin of his parents did not make him to be born blind. He was born blind so the work of God would be seen in him.

Some of the proud religious law-keepers said, "The Man Who did this is not from God because He worked on the Day of Rest." Others said, "How can a sinful man do powerful works?" They could not agree about Jesus.

They spoke again to the blind man, saying, "What do you say about Him since He opened your eyes?" He answered, "He is One Who speaks for God."

The proud religious law-keepers asked the man again, who had been blind, to come. They said to him, "Give thanks to God. We know this man is a sinner."

We know God spoke to Moses. We do not know where this Man is from."

We know that God does not listen to sinners. We know if anyone loves and worships God, and does what He wants, God listens to him.

If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything like this."

Jesus heard that the proud religious law-keepers had put the man who had been healed out of the place of worship. He found the man and said to him, "Do you put your trust in the Son of God?"

It was time for the religious gathering of remembering how the house of God was opened in Jerusalem.

It was winter and Jesus was there. He was walking in Solomon's porch in the house of God.

They said, "We are not going to throw stones at You for any good work. It is because of the way You talk against God. It is because You make Yourself to be God when You are only a man."

The Holy Writings were given to them and God called them gods. (The Word of God cannot be put aside.)

But God has set Me apart for Himself. He sent Me into the world. Then how can you say that I am speaking against God because I said, ‘I am the Son of God'?

When Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness will not end in death. It has happened so that it will bring honor to God. And the Son of God will be honored by it also."
