John 8:53-55 in English

⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

⁵⁵ and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.

⁵³ Surely You aren’t greater than our forefather Abraham, who died? The prophets died too. Who do You claim to be?”

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It’s my Father, who you say is your God, who honors me.

⁵⁵ Yet you haven’t come to know Him, but I know Him. If I said, ‘I don’t know Him,’ I would be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

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?”

⁵⁴ Jesus 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.

⁵⁵ Although 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.
