Before Abraham Was, I Am
48
The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and 1have a demon? ”
49
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but 2I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50
Yet 3I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.
52
The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! 6Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet 7you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never 8taste death. ’
53
9Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be? ”
54
Jesus answered, 10“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. 11It is my Father who glorifies me, 12of whom you say, ‘He is our God. ’ a
55
But 13you have not known him. 14I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be 15a liar 16like you, but I do know him and I keep his word.
57
So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? ” b
58
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, 21I am. ”
59
So 22they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
