John 8:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?

And many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad. Why do ye listen to him?

But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak against the righteous man insolently, with pride and contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

For consider the man who endured such hostility against him by sinners, so that ye may not be weary in your souls, being disheartened.

Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.
