John 8:48-59 -
Before Abraham was, I am
Jn.8.48-59
(
Jerusalem
)
8
48
The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
8
49
Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.
8
50
Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.
8
51
Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death."
8
52
The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
8
53
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"
8
54
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.
8
55
But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word.
8
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."
8
57
The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
8
58
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
8
59
So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
