John 8:48-59 - Jesus And Abraham
48 The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me. 50 And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one keep my word, he shall never see death.
52 The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? 53 and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say that He is your God. 55 And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
