John 8:30-58 — Jesus rebuking those described as believing in him; claim to deity (I AM)

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 23) 00:41:48 – 00:43:51

Viewer from the Czech Republic asks why Jesus spoke so confrontationally to those described as believing in him in John 8.

Reading of John 8:30-58: 'as he was saying these things, many believed in him.' Jesus then addresses 'the Jews who had believed in him' — yet he accuses them of seeking to kill him, of being slaves to sin, and of doing the works of their father (the devil). The exchange escalates until John 8:58 ('before Abraham was, I AM' — a claim to deity) and verse 59 where they pick up stones. Jesus's prediction ('you seek to kill me') proved accurate.
