John 8:48-59 - Jesus And Abraham
48 The Jews responded and said to Him, Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is One seeking and judging. 51 Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death.
52 The Jews said to Him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead; and thou sayest, If any one may keep my word, he may never taste death. 53 Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
54 Jesus responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our God; 55 indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word. 56 Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.
