John 8:55 in Context — John 8
53 Es-tu plus grand que notre père Abraham, qui est mort? Les prophètes aussi sont morts. Qui prétends-tu être?
54 Jésus répondit: Si je me glorifie moi-même, ma gloire n’est rien. C’est mon Père qui me glorifie, lui que vous dites être votre Dieu,
55 et que vous ne connaissez pas. Pour moi, je le connais; et, si je disais que je ne le connais pas, je serais semblable à vous, un menteur. Mais je le connais, et je garde sa parole.
56 Abraham, votre père, a tressailli de joie de ce qu’ilverrait mon jour: il l’a vu, et il s’est réjoui.
57 Les Juifs lui dirent: Tu n’as pas encore cinquante ans, et tu as vu Abraham!
