^(ca)The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a ^(cb)Samaritan and ^(cc)have a demon?"

Jesus answered, "I do not ^(cd)have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

But ^(ce)I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ^(cf)keeps My word he will never ^(cg)see death."

^(ch)The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You ^(ci)have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone ^(cj)keeps My word, he will never ^(ck)taste of death.'

Surely You ^(cl)are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"

Jesus answered, "^(cm)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ^(cn)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God';

and ^(co)you have not come to know Him, ^(cp)but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ^(cq)a liar like you, ^(cr)but I do know Him and ^(cs)keep His word.

^(ct)Your father Abraham ^(cu)rejoiced ^[p]to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

^(cv)So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham ^[q]was born, ^(cw)I am."

Therefore they ^(cx)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ^[r](cy)hid Himself and went out of the temple.
