Jesus Christ » The words that jesus Christ spoke
The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him.
I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit. Ye are already clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham. read more.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so. Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We are not born of whoredom; we have one Father, even God. Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me. Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.

Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. read more.
And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.

Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him. Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. read more.
Jesus saith to him, Am I all this while with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: and at least believe me on account of the works themselves.

Self-righteousness » Instances of » Pharisees
But no man lighting a lamp putteth it in a concealed place, or under a bushel, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye: when therefore thine eye is clear, thy whole body will be luminous, but if it be vitiated, thy whole body will be darkened. Let it be thy aim then, that the light which is in thee do not become darkness. read more.
If then thy whole body be illuminated, not having any dark part, it will be wholly luminous, as a lamp by its brightness diffuseth light. Now as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee invited him to dine with him; and going in with him, he sat down. But the Pharisee seeing it, marvelled, that he had not washed before dinner. Then said the Lord unto him, Now ye Pharisees make the outside of the cup and of the dish clean, but your inward parts are full of extortion and wickedness. Ye senseless men! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within? But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you. But wo to you, Pharisees, because ye tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to have omitted the other. Wo unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the places of public concourse. Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves concealed, which men, while walking over them, see not. Then one of the doctors of the law addressing him, said, Master, thus speaking, thou reproachest us also. And he said, Wo also to you, teachers of the law! for ye load men with burdens hardly bearable, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Wo unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Ye do indeed bear witness to, and with pleasure concur in your fathers' deeds; for they truly killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. Therefore also the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill, and shall persecute: that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed since the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation: from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple: verily I tell you, It shall be required of this generation. Wo unto you, teachers of the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were entering ye have hindered. And as he was saying these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to extort answers from him respecting many things; laying snares for him, and seeking to catch hold of something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin. But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. read more.

Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word. Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am. Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. read more.
Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth. From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues: for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
