“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever keeps my word will never see death.”

But the prideful Jews of that time rejected His divinity and opted to offend the Lord. Even they picked up stones to throw at Him.

“Now we are sure that you are possessed.
Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say,
‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.’
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died?
Or the prophets, who died?
Who do you make yourself out to be?”

Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing;
but it is my Father who glorifies me,
of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
You do not know him, but I know him.”

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
before Abraham came to be, I AM.”
