52Then the Jewish leaders SYN, thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death, said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon controls you! Abraham and the prophets died long ago! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die!
53◄You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?► RHQ He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are by saying something like that?”
54Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
55Although you do not know him, I know him and have a close relationship with him. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
56Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would do during my life MTY. It was as though he saw that, and was happy.”
57Then the Jewish leaders SYN said to him, “You are not fifty years old yet! So ◄you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?► RHQ Because he died long ago!”
