46
Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don't you believe Me?
47
The one who is from God listens to God's words. This is why you don't listen, because you are not from God."
Jesus and Abraham
48 The Jews responded to Him, "Aren't we right in saying that You're a Samaritan and have a demon?"
49
"I do not have a demon," Jesus answered. "On the contrary, I honor My Father and you dishonor Me.
50
I do not seek My glory; the One who seeks it also judges.
51
I assure you: If anyone keeps My word, he will never see death-ever!"
52
Then the Jews said, "Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death-ever!'
53
Are You greater than our father Abraham who died? Even the prophets died. Who do You pretend to be?"
54
"If I glorify Myself," Jesus answered, "My glory is nothing. My Father-you say about Him, 'He is our God'-He is the One who glorifies Me.
55
You've never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don't know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
56
Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day; he saw it and rejoiced."
