And none, having lighted a lamp, puts in secret, neither under a bushel, but upon the chandelier, that they coming in should see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when therefore thine eye be plain, also thy whole body is clear: and when it be evil, also thy body dark. Take heed therefore lest the light in thee be darkness. read more.
If therefore thy whole body clear, not having any part dark, the whole shall be clear, as when a lamp enlightens thee with its gleam. And in the speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him: and having come in he reclined. And the Pharisee having seen, wondered that he was not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside? But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered. And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never served any; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free? Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, say I to you, That every one doing sin, is servant of sin. And the servant remains not in the house forever; the Son remains forever. read more.
If the Son make you free, ye shall be truly free. I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, for my word has no place in you. I, what I have seen from my Father, speak: and ye, therefore, what ye have seen of your Father, do. They answered and said to him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye had done Abraham's works. And now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the works of your father. Then said they to him, We have not been born of fornication; for we have one Father, God. Then said Jesus to them, If God were your Father, ye had loved me: for I went forth from God, and came; for I have not come of myself, but he sent me. Wherefore ye know not my speech, for ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the eager desires of your father will ye do. He was slaying men from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks of his own things; for he is a liar, and the father of him. And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me. He being of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear not, for ye are not of God. Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. And I seek not my glory: there is he seeking and judging. Truly, truly, I say to you, If any keep my word, he should never see death. Then said the Jews to him, Now we have known that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any keep my word, he shall never taste of death. Thou art not greater than our father Abraham, who died; and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father honouring me; whom ye say, that he is your God: And ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he might see my day: and he saw, and rejoiced. Then said the Jews to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and bast thou seen Abraham And Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was born, I am. Then lifted up they stones that they might cast upon him: and Jesus was hid, and he went forth out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and so he passed by.

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. read more.
And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears. From forever was it not heard that any opened the eyes of him born blind. If this one were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, In sins wert thou wholly born, and teachest thou us? And they cast him without.
