Par 

48 Then aunswered the Iewes, & saide vnto hym: Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast the deuyl?

49 Iesus aunswered, I haue not the deuyll: but I honour my father, and ye haue dishonoured me.

50 I seke not myne owne praise, there is one that seketh, and iudgeth.

51 Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer see death.

52 Then sayde the Iewes vnto hym: Now know we that thou hast ye deuyll. Abraham is dead, & the prophetes: and thou sayest, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death.

53 Art thou greater the our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophetes are dead: whom makest thou thy selfe?

54 Iesus aunswered: Yf I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye say is your God:

55 And yet ye haue not knowen him, but I knowe hym: And if I say I knowe hym not, I shalbe a lyer lyke vnto you. But I knowe hym, & kepe his saying.

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

57 Then sayde the Iewes vnto hym: Thou art not yet fiftie yeres olde, & hast thou seene Abraham.

58 Iesus sayde vnto them: Ueryly, veryly I saye vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then toke they vp stones to caste at hym: but Iesus hyd hym selfe, and went out of the temple.
