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 him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"

Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"

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

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud. A Song of Ascents. By David.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls.

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

You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."
