Say

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and you speak correctly, for I am.

Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,

You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder!

Thou

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

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?"

Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one, to the one who despises life, to the one who abhors [the] nation, to [the] slave of rulers: "Kings shall see and stand up; princes, and they shall bow down, for the sake of Yahweh, who [is] faithful, the holy one of Israel, and he has chosen you."

[He was] despised and rejected [by] men, a man of suffering, and acquainted with sickness, and like {one from whom others hide their faces}, [he was] despised, and we did not hold him in high regard.

[It is] enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household?

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."

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