But there is one who is seeking it and who judges in my favour. I am telling you the truth: whoever obeys my teaching will never die.”
They said to him, “Now we are certain that you have a demon! Abraham died, and the prophets died, yet you say that whoever obeys your teaching will never die. Our father Abraham died; you do not claim to be greater than Abraham, do you? And the prophets also died. “Who do you think you are?”

You have never known him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see the time of my coming, he saw it and was glad.”

They said to him, “You are not even fifty years old – and you have seen Abraham?”

“I am telling you the truth,” Jesus replied. “Before Abraham was born,  ‘I Am.”
