Gospel John 8:51-59
51Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.”
52Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’
53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
54Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
55And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”
58Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
59Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
