John 8:46-56

46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

47 ¹Whoever is of God hears the words of God. ²The reason why you do not hear them is that ³you are not of God. ”

Before Abraham Was, I Am

48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and ⁴have a demon? ”

49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but ⁵I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

50 Yet ⁶I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.

51 Truly, truly, ⁷I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never ⁸see death. ”

52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! ⁹Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet ¹⁰you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never ¹¹taste death. ’

53 ¹²Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be? ”

54 Jesus answered, ¹³“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. ¹⁴It is my Father who glorifies me, ¹⁵of whom you say, ‘He is our God. ’ ^[a]

55 But ¹⁶you have not known him. ¹⁷I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be ¹⁸a liar ¹⁹like you, but I do know him and I keep his word.

56 ²⁰Your father Abraham ²¹rejoiced ²²that he would see my day. ²³He saw it and was glad. ”
