John 8:48-59 - Jesus And Abraham
48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?
49 Jesus answered, I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory, but there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps My Word, he shall never see death.
52 Then the Jews said to Him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead, and you say, If a man keeps my Word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself?
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I should say I do not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I know Him and I keep His Word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and He saw 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 to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus hid Himself and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and passed on by.
