Abraham died, and the prophets as well; and yet You say, ‘If anyone ^(C)follows My word, he will never ^(D)taste of death.’ ⁵³ You ^(E)are not greater than our father Abraham, who died, are You? The prophets died too. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?” ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “^(F)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ^(G)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; ⁵⁵ and ^(H)you have not come to know Him, ^(I)but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ^(J)a liar like you; ^(K)but I do know Him, and I ^(L)follow His word. ^56 (M)Your father Abraham was ^(N)overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” ^57 (O)So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham ^[a]was born, ^[b](P)I am.”
