John 8:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?"

But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.

Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.

You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come."
