Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51
Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52
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.
53
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
57
Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59
Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
