John 8:48-53

⁴⁸The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

⁴⁹And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

⁵⁰I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

⁵¹Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

⁵²The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

⁵³Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?
