John 8:50 Context
48Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill? 49Iesus answered, I haue not a deuill: but I honour my Father, and ye doe dishonour me. 50And I seeke not mine owne glory, there is one that seeketh & iudgeth. 51Uerely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my saying, hee shall neuer see death. 52Then said the Iewes vnto him, Now we know that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death.
