Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
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:›
‹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.›
‹Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw› [it], ‹and was glad.›
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, ‹Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.›
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.
And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, ‹Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.›
