John 8:48-56

⁴⁸So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”

⁴⁹Jesus answered: “ I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.

⁵⁰Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

⁵¹Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.”

⁵²So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste death’!

⁵³Surely you aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

⁵⁴Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

⁵⁵Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.

⁵⁶Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”
