John 8:48-59

New American Standard Bible 1995

^48 (A)The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a ^(B)Samaritan and ^(C)have a demon?” ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not ^(D)have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. ⁵⁰ But ^(E)I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ^(F)keeps My word he will never ^(G)see death.” ^52 (H)The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You ^(I)have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone ^(J)keeps My word, he will never ^(K)taste of death.’ ⁵³ Surely You ^(L)are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?” ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “^(M)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ^(N)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; ⁵⁵ and ^(O)you have not come to know Him, ^(P)but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ^(Q)a liar like you, ^(R)but I do know Him and ^(S)keep His word. ^56 (T)Your father Abraham ^(U)rejoiced ^[a]to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” ^57 (V)So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham ^[b]was born, ^(W)I am.” ⁵⁹ Therefore they ^(X)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ^[c](Y)hid Himself and went out of the temple.
