48. The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49. Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!
50. But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges!
51. Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death forever.”
52. The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death forever.’
53. You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”
54. Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
55. And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.
