← John 8:53	John 8:54 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	John 8:55 [words of Jesus] →
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?	Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:	Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
