John 8 : 51 - 59
Chapter 8
51 | Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
|
52 | Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'
|
53 | Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"
|
54 | Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.
|
55 | Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
|
56 | Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
|
57 | Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
|
58 | Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
|
59 | Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
