They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free?

I know that you are children of Abraham; but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.

They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham;

but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this.

The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom do you make yourself?

Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.

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

Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.
