John 8:46-59

46Who among you can convict me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?

47The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

48The 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.

50I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and judges.

51Truly I tell you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”

52Then 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.’

53Are you greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do you claim to be?”

54“If I glorify myself,” Jesus answered, “my glory is nothing. My Father — about whom you say, ‘He is our God’ — he is the one who glorifies me.

55You do not know 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.

56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.”

57The Jews replied, “You aren’t fifty years old yet, and you’ve seen Abraham?”

58Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.”

59So they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple.
