← John 8:51 [words of Jesus]	John 8:52 (KJV)	John 8:53 →
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.	Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.	Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
