They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus said to them, "If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!

They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"

I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, [are you]? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself [to be]?"

Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw [it] and was glad."

So the Jews said to him, "{You are} not yet fifty years [old], and have you seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!"
