’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They wanted to test Jesus thus; <br>So they could charge him in some way; <br>But Jesus wrote something on ground.<br>They persisted in asking Him, <br> So, Jesus said, ‘let one of you<br>Without a sin, then throw first stone.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Again, He bent and wrote on ground; <br>Each one of them then left in turns; <br>The woman stood near Him alone; <br>Then Jesus asked her, ‘Where are they? <br>Has no one condemned you as yet? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The woman replied, ‘No one, sir! ’<br>Then Jesus said, ‘Neither do I; <br>So, go; from now on, do not sin.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus spoke to them again, <br>‘I am the one light of the world! <br>Who follows me won’t have darkness; <br>But will walk in the light of life.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Pharisees then said to him, <br>‘You testify on your behalf; <br>Your words remain unverified.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus answered and told them, <br>‘What I speak can be verified, <br>Because I know from where I come; <br>I also know to where I go; <br>But, you know nothing about both! <br>You judge by looks but I don’t judge! <br>But if I should, it is valid, <br>Because I am not all alone; <br>My Father is with me, who sent; .<br>But even in your law ’tis writ, <br>‘Two men’s words can be verified; <br>I testify on my own stead; <br>So, does my father who sent me.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They asked Him, ‘Where is your Father? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus replied as follows: <br>‘You neither know me, nor father; <br>If you knew me, you’ll know Him too.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He spoke these words in temple ground; <br>Yet, none did arrest him thus far! <br>Then He said, ‘I’m going away, <br>And you will try to look for me; <br>But you will die in your own sin.<br>To where I go, you cannot come.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Jews asked one another then, <br>‘Is He going to kill himself? <br>What did He mean by saying thus: <br>‘You cannot come to where I go! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus continued to speak, <br>‘You belong to what is below; <br>I belong to what is above; <br>You belong to this very world; <br>I don’t belong to mother earth.<br>If you don’t believe that I AM, <br>You will then die in your own sins! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They asked Him, ‘So, Then, who are you? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus said, ‘What did I say<br>From the very beginning then? <br>I condemn you for things you say, <br>Because the one who sent is true, <br>I tell the world what He told me.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They did not know of who He spoke; <br>He spoke to them of His Father.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘The one who sent me is with me; <br>He has not left me all alone; <br>I always do what pleases Him.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Many came to believe Jesus.<br>Jesus said to Jews, who believed, <br>‘If you remain in words of mine, <br>You truly will be disciples.<br>And you will know the truth also; <br>The truth will set you surely free! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">They told him, ‘We’re from Abraham; .<br>We weren’t enslaved to anyone; .<br>Why should we then be set afree? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus answered all of them, <br>‘Amen, amen, I say to you.<br>All sinners are enslaved by sin.<br>A slave remains not forever; <br>A son remains in house always! <br>If son frees you, you’ll truly be! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘I know you come from Abraham<br>And yet, you try to kill me soon; <br>My words find no place within you; <br>I tell you what I’ve heard and seen<br>My father do in heaven then, <br>So you may do a similar thing.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They said, ‘Our father’s Abraham! <br>Then Jesus told, ‘If Abraham, <br>His children ought to do his works.<br>But now, you try to murder me, <br>A man who heard the truth from God? <br>Then do you do your father’s works? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They said, ‘We aren’t illegitimate! <br>We have one father, who is God! <br>Jesus said, ‘If God’s your father, <br>You would then love me and not kill, <br>For, I’ve been sent by God to you! <br>Why don’t you understand my words? <br>Is it you cannot bear to hear? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘Your father is the devil then; <br>You carry out his desires; <br>He was a killer from the start<br>And loves to hide the truth by lies; <br>He has no truth in him at all.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘He is the father of all lies; <br>He is a liar by nature; <br>I speak the truth, you don’t believe; <br>Can anyone charge me with sin? <br>So, believe me, I speak but truth; <br>Whoev’r belongs to God, hears Him.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Jews answered and said to him, <br>‘Are we not right in saying that<br>You’re a possessed Samaritan? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus said, ‘I’m not possessed; <br>I honor my loving Father; <br>I do not seek my own glory; <br>Amen, amen, I say to you: <br>Who keeps my words, will not meet death’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Jews said, ‘you’re surely possessed; <br>Abraham died like all prophets; <br>Yet, you say we will not taste death? <br>Are you greater than Abraham? <br>Are you greater than all prophets? <br>Who do you think, you want to be? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus told, ‘My glory’s worth<br>Nothing if I self-glorify; <br>But glorifies me, my Father, <br>Of whom you say, ‘He is our God! ’<br>You do not know Him; I know Him; <br>If I say otherwise, ’tis lies.<br>I know Him well and keep His word; <br>Abraham rejoiced to see me; <br>He saw my day and was so glad.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Jews then said, ‘You aren’t fifty<br>And you have seen old Abraham? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus said to them, “Amen, <br>Amen, I say to you; before<br>Abraham came to be, I AM! ”<br>They picked up stones to throw at Him; <br>But Jesus out of temple slid.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-23-2007</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=John+Celes">John Celes</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=369773" data-title="Bible in Poetry: Gospel of St. John (Chapter 8) de John Celes" data-description="To Mount of Olives, Jesus went; He came to Temple in the morn; The people flocked to Him at once; He sat and taught them many things.
