John 8:55-57

Expanded Bible

⁵⁵ You don’t really know him, but I know him. If I said I did not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I ·obey what he says [^Lkeep his word]. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham ·was very happy [rejoiced] that he would see my day [^Cthe day of the Messiah’s arrival]. He saw that day and was glad.”

⁵⁷ [^LTherefore] ·They [The Jewish leaders; ^LThe Jews] said to him, “You have never seen Abraham! You are not even fifty years old [^CAbraham had been dead for almost 2,000 years].”
