John
8
48
The Judeans replied, "Aren't we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?"
49
Jesus answered, "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father - and yet you dishonor me.
50
I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges.
51
I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death."
52
Then the Judeans responded, "Now we know you're possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, 'If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.'
53
You aren't greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?"
54
Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, 'He is our God.'
55
Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.
56
Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day, and he saw it and was glad."
57
Then the Judeans replied, "You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?"
58
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the solemn truth, before Abraham came into existence, I am!"
59
Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.
