John 8:53-55

New Catholic Bible

⁵³Are you greater than our father Abraham? He is dead, and the Prophets are also dead. Who do you claim to be?” ⁵⁴Jesus answered,

“If I glorify myself,
that glory is of no value.
It is my Father who glorifies me,
the one about whom you say,
‘He is our God,’
⁵⁵even though you do not know him.
However, I do know him.
If I would say
that I do not know him,
I would be a liar like you.
But I do know him,
and I keep his word.
