John 8:48-59
Before Abraham Was Born, I Am

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

48:

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

49:

50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

50:

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

51:

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

52:

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

53:

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

54:

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

55:

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.

56:

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

57:

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

58:

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

59:
