They answered him, We are Abrahams offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free?

I know that ye are Abrahams offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you.

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

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham.

The Jews said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he will never taste of death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Whom dost thou make thyself?

Your father Abraham exulted that he might see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

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

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.
