Bible References

Say

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:

You believe that

God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

Thou

Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?”

Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One,
To the despised One,
To the One abhorred by the nation,
To the Servant of rulers,
“Kings will see and arise,
Princes will also bow down,
Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”

He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house

Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”

For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
