“Will he kill himself?”

“Who art thou?”

“We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?”

“Why do ye not understand my speech?”

“Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?”

“Why hear ye him?”

“Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?”
