LESSON XXIV.

Jesus again declares Himself the Son of God.
CH. viii. 12-29.

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye

cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? Because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say, and to judge of you but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Are the teachings of Jesus the light that directs
to eternal life?

What is the condition of those countries which have no Bible?

13 THEN What did the Pharisees say?

Does it always follow, because a man speaks of himself, that he does not speak the truth? What evidence had he given them that he was the Messenger of God? Chap. 5:36. 14 DID Jesus assert that he did speak the truth? What did he know which they could not tell? Did the miracles of Jesus show that he was more than man?

15 How did they judge?

Did he mean by this, they were full of prejudice and hatred ?

Did Jesus condemn, or judge any man, in this way?

16 WHAT was his judgment?

In_what manner, except in his word, had the
Father borne testimony that Jesus was his
Son? Matt. 3: 17. 17: 5.
