They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made 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 unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.
