John 8:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Then the Jews answered and said to Him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?

The crowd answered and said, You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?

And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you hear him?

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

Let the lying lips be put to silence; the lips which speak proudly against the righteous, with pride and scorn.

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

For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.

Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

You shall seek Me and shall not find Me. And where I am, you cannot come.
