“Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet
fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to
you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Exodus 3:13–16 (ESV) 13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say
to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to
them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who
I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the
people of Israel, ‘The Lord, the
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be
remembered throughout all generations. 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together
and say to them, ‘The Lord, the
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared
to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt,
John 8:12–20 (The Living Bible) 12 Later, in one of his talks, Jesus said to the people, “I am the
Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the
darkness, for living light will flood your path.” 13 The
Pharisees replied, “You are boasting—and lying!” 14 Jesus told
them, “These claims are true even though I make them concerning myself. For I
know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know this about me. 15 You pass judgment on me without knowing the facts. I am not judging
you now; 16 but if I were, it would be an absolutely correct judgment in every
respect, for I have with me the Father who sent me. 17 Your laws say that if two men agree on something that has happened,
their witness is accepted as fact. 18 Well, I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other.” 19
“Where is your father?” they asked. Jesus answered,
“You don’t know who I am, so you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me,
then you would know him too.” 20 Jesus made these statements
while in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not
arrested, for his time had not yet run out.
John 8:21–30 (NASB95) 21 Then He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and
will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He,
since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above;
you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 “Therefore
I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He,
you will die in your sins.” 25 So they were saying to Him,
“Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What
have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26 “I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He
who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to
the world.”
27 They did not realize that He had been speaking
to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you lift
up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on
My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29 “And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I
always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30 As He
spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.
John 8:31–41 (NIV) 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s
descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall
be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you,
everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the
family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free
indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for
a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you
are doing what you have heard from your father.” 39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s
children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told
you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not
illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God
himself.”
John 8:42–56 (The Living Bible) 42 Jesus told them, “If that were so, then you would love me, for I
have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you are
prevented from doing so! 44 For you are the children of your father the
devil and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the
beginning and a hater of truth—there is not an iota of truth in him. When he
lies, it is perfectly normal; for he is the father of liars. 45 And so when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe it! 46 “Which of you can truthfully
accuse me of one single sin? No one! And since I am telling you the truth, why
don’t you believe me? 47 Anyone whose Father is God listens gladly to the words of God.
Since you don’t, it proves you aren’t his children.” 48 “You Samaritan! Foreigner! Devil!” the Jewish leaders snarled. “Didn’t
we say all along you were possessed by a demon?” 49 “No,”
Jesus said, “I have no demon in me. For I honor my Father—and you dishonor me. 50 And though I have no wish to make myself great, God wants this for
me and judges those who reject me. 51 With all the earnestness I have I tell you
this—no one who obeys me shall ever die!” 52 The leaders of the Jews said,
“Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the mightiest
prophets died, and yet you say that obeying you will keep a man from dying! 53 So you are greater than our father Abraham, who died? And greater
than the prophets, who died? Who do you think you are?” 54 Then Jesus told them this: “If I am merely boasting about myself,
it doesn’t count. But it is my Father—and you claim him as your God—who is
saying these glorious things about me. 55 But you do not even know him. I do. If I said
otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But it is true—I know him and
fully obey him. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He
knew I was coming and was glad.”
John 8:57–59 (NKJV) 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and
have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before
Abraham was, I AM.” 59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and
went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
