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: Do we not speak correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?

The crowd answered: You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?

Many of them said: He has a demon and is mad. Why listen to him?

Yet, I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned by humanity and despised by people.

Let their lying lips be speechless, since they speak against righteous people with arrogance and contempt.

We are filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Consider him who endured such contrary talk by sinners against him. You should not get tired and give up in your mind (heart).

Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

You will seek me and will not find me. You cannot come where I am going.
