John 8:51-59

51TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 1keepsG5083 My wordG3056 he will neverG3756G3361 2seeG2334 deathG2288.”

523The JewsG2453 saidG3004 to Him, “NowG3568 we knowG1097 that You 4haveG2192 a demonG1140. AbrahamG11 diedG599, and the prophetsG4396 also; and You sayG3004, ‘IfG1437 anyoneG5100 5keepsG5083 My wordG3056, he will neverG3756G3361 6tasteG1089 of deathG2288.’

53SurelyG3361 You 7are not greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, whoG3748 diedG599? The prophetsG4396 diedG599 tooG2532; whomG5101 do You makeG4160 YourselfG4572 out to be?”

54JesusG2424 answeredG611, “8IfG1437 I glorifyG1392 MyselfG1683, My gloryG1391 is nothingG3762; 9it is My FatherG3962 who glorifiesG1392 Me, of whomG3739 you sayG3004, ‘He is our GodG2316’;

55and 10you have not come to knowG1097 Him, 11but I knowG3609 Him; and ifG2579 I sayG3004 that I do not knowG3609 Him, I will be 12a liarG5583 likeG3664 you, 13but I do knowG3609 Him and 14keepG5083 His wordG3056.

5615Your fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 16rejoicedG21 17to seeG3708 My dayG2250, and he sawG3708 it and was gladG5463.”

5718SoG3767 the JewsG2453 saidG3004 to Him, “You are not yetG3768 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094 old, and have You seenG3708 AbrahamG11?”

58JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, beforeG4250 AbrahamG11 19was bornG1096, 20I amG1510.”

59ThereforeG3767 they 21pickedG142 up stonesG3037 to throwG906 at Him, but JesusG2424 2223hidG2928 Himself and wentG1831 out of the templeG2413.
