John 8:51-59

51TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 keepsG5083 MyG1699 wordG3056, he will never seeG3756G3361G2334G1519G3588G165 deathG2288.”

52“NowG3568 we knowG1097 thatG3754 You haveG2192 a demonG1140!” declaredG2036 theG3588 JewsG2453. “AbrahamG11 diedG599, and so didG2532 theG3588 prophetsG4396, yetG2532 YouG4771 say thatG3004 anyone whoG1437G5100 keepsG5083 Your wordG3056 will never tasteG3756G3361G1089G1519G3588G165 deathG2288. 53AreG1510 YouG4771 greater thanG3361G3173 ourG1473 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11? He diedG599, as did theG3588 prophetsG4396. WhoG5101 do You claim to beG4160G4572?”

54JesusG2424 answeredG611, “IfG1437 IG1473 glorifyG1392 MyselfG1683, MyG1473 gloryG1391 meansG1510 nothingG3762. TheG3588 One who glorifiesG1392 MeG1473 isG1510 MyG1473 FatherG3962, of whomG3739 youG4771 sayG3004, ‘He isG1510 ourG14731 GodG2316.’ 55You do not knowG3756G1097 HimG846, butG1161 IG1473 knowG1492 HimG846. IfG2579 I saidG2036 I did not knowG3756G1492 HimG846, I would beG1510 a liarG5583 likeG3664 youG4771. ButG235 I do knowG1492 HimG846, andG2532 I keepG5083 HisG846 wordG3056. 56YourG4771 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG21 thatG2443 he would seeG3708 MyG1699 dayG2250. He sawG3708 it andG2532 was gladG5463.”

57ThenG3767 theG3588 JewsG2453 saidG2036 toG4314 HimG846, “You areG2192 not yetG3768 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094 old, andG2532 You have seenG3708 AbrahamG11?”

58“TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771,” JesusG2424 declaredG2036G846, “beforeG4250 AbrahamG11 wasG1096 born, IG1473 amG1510!2”

59At thisG3767, they picked upG142 stonesG3037 toG2443 throwG906 atG1909 HimG846. ButG1161 JesusG2424 was hiddenG2928 andG2532 wentG1831 out ofG1537 theG3588 temple areaG2411.3
