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 and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

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

And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

But I [am] a worm and not a man, scorned by humankind and despised by people.

Let lying lips be dumb, that speak against [the] righteous unrestrained with arrogance and contempt.

For long enough our soul has had its fill of the derision of the self-confident, the contempt of [the] arrogant.

For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary in your souls [and] give up.

So we must go out to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come."
