John 8:51-59
Jesus said to the Jews:
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever keeps my word will never see death.”
So the Jews said to him,
“Now we are sure that you are possessed.
Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say,
‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.’
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died?
Or the prophets, who died?
Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing;but it is my Father who glorifies me,
of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
You do not know him, but I know him.
And if I should say that I do not know him,
I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day;he saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him,
“You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever keeps my word will never see death.”

“Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.”
So they picked up stones to throw at him;
but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.

Juan 8:51-59
52Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya: Ngayon ay alam na namin na mayroon kang demonyo. Si Abraham at ang mga propeta ay namatay. Sinasabi mo na kung ang sinuman ay tutupad ng iyong salita ay hindi makakaranas ng kamatayan magpakailanman. 53Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa sa aming amang si Abraham? Siya ay namatay, gayundin ang mga propeta. Ano ba ang palagay mo sa iyong sarili?
54Sumagot si Jesus: Kung niluluwalhati ko ang aking sarili, ang aking kaluwalhatian ay walang kabuluhan. Ang aking Ama ang siyang lumuluwalhati sa akin. Siya ang sinasabi ninyong inyong Diyos. 55Hindi ninyo siya kilala ngunit kilala ko siya. Kapag sinabi kong hindi ko siya kilala ay magiging sinungaling akong tulad ninyo. Kilala ko siya at tinutupad ko ang kaniyang salita. 56Ang inyong amang si Abraham ay nagalak na makita niya ang aking araw. Nakita niya ito at siya ay natuwa.
57Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya: Wala ka pang limampung taong gulang at nakita mo na si Abraham?
58Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Bago pa si Abraham ay ako na. 59Dumampot nga sila ng mga bato upang siya ay batuhin ngunit si Jesus ay nagtago. Sa paglabas niya sa templo ay dumaan siya sa kalagitnaan nila sa ganoong paraan.
