John 8:50-59
New Living Translation (NLT)50 And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God
wants to glorify me. Let him be the judge. 51 I
assure you, anyone who obeys my teaching will
never die!" 52 The people said, "Now we know
you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham
and the prophets died, but you say that those
who obey your teaching will never die! 53 Areyou greater than our father Abraham, who died?
Are you greater than the prophets, who died?
Who do you think you are?"

54 Jesus answered, "If I am merely boasting
about myself, it doesn't count. But it is my
Father who says these glorious things about
me. You say, 'He is our God,' 55 but you do not
even know him. I know him. If I said
otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you!
But it is true -- I know him and obey him.

thicket he saw a ram[a]caught by its
horns. He went over and took the ram
and sacrificed it as a burnt offering
instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called
that place The LORD Will Provide. And to
this day it is said, On the mountain of
the LORD it will be provided.
