John 8:54-56

New International Reader's Version

⁵⁴ Jesus replied, “If I bring glory to myself, my glory means nothing. You claim that my Father is your God. He is the one who brings glory to me. ⁵⁵ You do not know him. But I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him. And I obey his word. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was filled with joy at the thought of seeing my day. He saw it and was glad.”
