They answered him, We are Abraham's descendants, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?

I know that you are Abraham's descendant; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

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

But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
