John 8:49-58

⁴⁹Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father and ye have dishonoured me.

⁵⁰I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth.

⁵¹Verely verely I saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth.

⁵²Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abraham is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth.

⁵³Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. Whome makest thou thy selfe?

⁵⁴Iesus answered: Yf I honoure my selfe myne honoure is nothinge worth. It is my father that honoureth me which ye saye is youre God

⁵⁵and ye have not knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye I knowe him not I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him and kepe his sayinge.

⁵⁶Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye and he sawe it and reioysed.

⁵⁷Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet.l. yere olde and hast thou sene Abraham?

⁵⁸Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was I am.
