They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

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

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

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

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

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

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