They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

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

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

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

Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

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

Then said the Jews 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 was, I am.
