³⁴ But the Pharisees were saying, “He ^(A)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

²⁰ The crowd answered, “^(A)You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?”

^48 (A)The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a ^(B)Samaritan, and You ^(C)have a demon?” ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not ^(D)have a demon; on the contrary, I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. ⁵⁰ But ^(E)I am not seeking My glory; there is One who seeks it, and judges. ⁵¹ Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone ^(F)follows 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 as well; and yet You say, ‘If anyone ^(J)follows My word, he will never ^(K)taste of death.’ ⁵³ You ^(L)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, “^(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 I ^(S)follow His word. ^56 (T)Your father Abraham was ^(U)overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” ^57 (V)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](W)I am.” ⁵⁹ Therefore they ^(X)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ^(Y)hid Himself and left the temple grounds.

^52 (A)The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You ^(B)have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets as well; and yet You say, ‘If anyone ^(C)follows My word, he will never ^(D)taste of death.’

²⁰ Many of them were saying, “He ^(A)has a demon and ^(B)is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”
