rsv - John:8:48-59

rsv@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

rsv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

rsv@John:8:50 @ Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.

rsv@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death."

rsv@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

rsv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

rsv@John:8:55 @ But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word.

rsv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."

rsv@John:8:57 @ The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"

rsv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."

rsv@John:8:59 @ So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
