John 8:52-59

52 ¹The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You ²have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone ³keeps My word, he will never * ⁴taste of death.'

53 "Surely You ⁵are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"

54 Jesus answered, "⁶If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ⁷it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God ';

55 and ⁸you have not come to know Him, ⁹but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ¹⁰a liar like you, ¹¹but I do know Him and ¹²keep His word.

56 "¹³Your father Abraham ¹⁴rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

57 ¹⁵So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, ¹⁶I am."

59 Therefore they ¹⁷picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ¹⁸hid Himself and went out of the temple.
