John 8:53 in Context — John 8

51 Em verdade, em verdade vos digo, que se alguém guardar minha palavra, jamais verá a morte.

52 Disseram-lhe pois os Judeus: Agora conhecemos que tens o demônio. Abraão e os profetas morreram; e tu dizes: Se alguém guardar minha palavra, jamais experimentará a morte.

53 És tu maior que nosso pai Abraão, que morreu? Os profetas também morreram. Quem tu dizes ser?

54 Respondeu Jesus: Se eu me glorifico a mim mesmo, minha glória é nada; meu Pai, o qual vós dizeis ser vosso Deus, ele é o que me glorifica.

55 E vós não o conheceis, mas eu o conheço; e se disser que não o conheço, serei mentiroso como vós; mas eu o conheço, e guardo sua palavra.
