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 Jewish leaders replied to him, "Surely we're right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?"

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

Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?"

But as for me, I am only a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people.

Let the lying lips be made still, especially those who speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt.

Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. A Davidic Song of Ascents

Think about the one who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you may not become tired and give up.

Therefore go to him outside the camp and endure the insults he endured.

You'll look for me but won't find me. And where I am, you cannot come."
