John 8:51-59

51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone 1keeps My word he will never 2see death.”

523The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You 4have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone 5keeps My word, he will never 6taste of death.’

53Surely You 7are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

54Jesus answered, “8If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; 9it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

55and 10you have not come to know Him, 11but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be 12a liar like you, 13but I do know Him and 14keep His word.

5615Your father Abraham 16rejoiced 17to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

5718So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham 19was born, 20I am.”

59Therefore they 21picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus 2223hid Himself and went out of the temple.
