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 Judeans replied, "Aren't we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?"

The crowd answered, "You're possessed by a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"

Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me.

May lying lips be silenced -- lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

We have had our fill of the taunts of the self-assured, of the contempt of the proud.

Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.

We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
