53. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?"
54. Jesus responded: "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
55. And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56. Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad."
