48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a ^fSamaritan and ^ghave a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not ^hseek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and ⁱhe is the judge. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ^jkeeps my word, ^khe will never see death.” 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! ^lAbraham died, ^mas did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ 53 Are you greater ⁿthan our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you ^omake yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who ^pglorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’¹ 55 But you have not ^qknown him. ^rI know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a ^sliar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham ^trejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” 57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”² 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^ubefore Abraham was, ^vI am.” 59 ^wSo ^xthey picked up stones to throw at him, ^ybut Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
