They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?

I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age.

Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?

Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.

The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
