John 8:48-59 - Jesus And Abraham
48 The Jews answered, and said unto him - Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered - I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me. 50 But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding.
52 The Jews said unto him - Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: - Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding. 53 Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, - who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: - Whom, makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered - If, I, glorify myself, my glory, is nothing: It is, my Father, that glorifieth me, - of whom, ye, say - He is, your God! 55 And yet ye have not come to know him; but, I, do know him: If I say, I know him not, I shall be like you - false; but I know him, and, his word, am I keeping. 56 Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him - Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
58 Jesus said unto them - Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
59 They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
