* Then answered the Jews , and said unto him , Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan , and hast a devil ? * Jesus answered , I have not a devil ; but I honour my Father , and ye do dishonour me . * And I seek not mine own glory : there is one that seeketh and judgeth . * Verily , verily , I say unto you , If a man keep my saying , he shall never see death . * Then said the Jews unto him , Now we know that thou hast a devil . Abraham is dead , and the prophets ; and thou sayest , If a man keep my saying , he shall never taste of death . * Art thou greater than our father Abraham , which is dead ? and the prophets are dead : whom makest thou thyself ? * Jesus answered , If I honour myself , my honour is nothing : it is my Father that honoureth me ; of whom ye say , that he is your God : * Yet ye have not known him ; but I know him : and if I should say , I know him not , I shall be a liar like unto you : but I know him , and keep his saying . * Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day : and he saw it , and was glad . * Then said the Jews unto him , Thou art not yet fifty years old , and hast thou seen Abraham ? * Jesus said unto them , Verily , verily , I say unto you , Before Abraham was , I am . * Then took they up stones to cast at him : but Jesus hid himself , and went out of the temple , going through the midst of them , and so passed by .
