“Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?”
King James Version (KJV)
8:51 If a man keep my word - So will my Father consult my glory. We keep his doctrine by believing, his promises by hoping, his command by obeying. He shall never see death - That is, death eternal. He shall live for ever. Hereby he proves that he was no Samaritan; for the Samaritans in general were Sadducees.
8:54 If I honour myself - Referring to their words, Whom makest thou thyself?
Joh 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham? Their argument is: They that heard the word of God are dead, and shall they who have heard thee not die? Their question is asked in scorn. Compare Joh 4:12.
