John:8:48-59

*
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 .
