John 8:50-54
8:50 I am not trying to get
praise for myself.
There is one who demands
it, and he also judges.
8:51 I tell you the solemn truth,
if anyone obeys
my teaching,
he will never see death.”
8:52 Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’
8:53 You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?”
8:54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’
