John 8:45-55

45 So you don't believe me because I tell the truth.
46 Can any of you convict me of committing a sin? If I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
47 The person who belongs to God understands what God says. You don't understand because you don't belong to God."
48 The Jews replied to Jesus, "Aren't we right when we say that you're a Samaritan and that you're possessed by a demon?"
49 Jesus answered, "I'm not possessed. I honor my Father, but you dishonor me.
50 I don't want my own glory. But there is someone who wants it, and he is the judge.
51 I can guarantee this truth: Whoever obeys what I say will never see death."
52 The Jews told Jesus, "Now we know that you're possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, 'Whoever does what I say will never taste death.'
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets have also died. Who do you think you are?"
54 Jesus said, "If I bring glory to myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is the one who gives me glory, and you say that he is your God.
55 Yet, you haven't known him. However, I know him. If I would say that I didn't know him, I would be a liar like all of you. But I do know him, and I do what he says.
