John 8:56

New King James Version

⁵⁶Your father Abraham ^(A)rejoiced to see My day, ^(B)and he saw it and was glad.”

John 8:56

New American Standard Bible

⁵⁶^(A)Your father Abraham was ^(B)overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.”

⁵⁶Your father Abraham [greatly] rejoiced to see My day (My incarnation). ^[a]He saw it and was delighted.”^(A)

John 8:56 How Abraham saw the incarnation of Jesus is unclear. Some suggest it was simply by faith, others suggest it was through Isaac and the promise of the covenant, but more likely, he saw it from Paradise.

⁵⁶Your father Abraham^(A) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it^(B) and was glad.”

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