☆ Gospel: John 8:51-59
51
Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.
52
The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.
53
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?
54
Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.
55
You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.
56
Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.
57
Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?
58
Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.
59
So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

☆ Genesis 17:3-9
3
And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,
4
As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.
5
No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.
6
I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.
7
And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
8
And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.
9
And God said to Abraham, On your side, you are to keep the agreement, you and your seed after you through all generations.
