Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

⁵³

Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

⁵⁵

Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

⁵⁶

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

⁵⁷

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

⁵⁸

Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

⁵⁹
