John 8:46-59

⁴⁶Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? ⁴⁷The one who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?” ⁴⁹Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; on the contrary, I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. ⁵⁰But I am not seeking My glory; there is One who seeks it, and judges. ⁵¹Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone follows My word, he will never see death.” ⁵²The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets as well; and yet You say, ‘If anyone follows My word, he will never taste of death.’ ⁵³You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died, are You? The prophets died too. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?” ⁵⁴Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; ⁵⁵and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you; but I do know Him, and I follow His word. ⁵⁶Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” ⁵⁷So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” ⁵⁹Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and left the temple grounds.
