They answered Him, "We are Abraham's seed, and to no one have we at any time been in bondage; how sayest Thou, 'Ye shall be made free?'

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

They answered and said to Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus saith to them, "If ye are children of Abraham, ye are doing the works of Abraham.

But now ye are seeking to kill Me, a Man Who hath told you the truth, which I heard from My Father: this Abraham did not.

The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that Thou hast a demon! Abraham and the prophets died; and Thou sayest, 'If any one keeps My word, he shall never taste of death!'

Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died? Whom makest Thou Thyself?"

Abraham, your father, rejoiced to 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, "Verily, verily, I say to you, before Abraham existed, I am."
