tcent - John:8:48-59

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

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

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

tcent@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see death.«

tcent@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 anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.

tcent@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?«

tcent@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.

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

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

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

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

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