John 8:48-56

⁴⁸The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.

⁵⁰But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.

⁵²The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?

⁵⁴Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.

⁵⁵And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.

⁵⁶Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
