3Abram tell flat on his face.

4And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father. of many nations.

5Neither shall your name be called any more Abram: but you shall be called Abraham: because I have made you a father of many nations.

6And I will make you increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

7And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and between your sad after you in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to you, and to your offspring after you.

8And I will give to you, and to your offspring, the land of your sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.

9Again God said to Abraham: And you therefore shall keep my covenant, and your offspring after you in their generations.

4Seek you the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.

5Remember his marvellous works which he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

6OH you offspring of Abraham his servant; you sons of Jacob his chosen.

7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He has remembered his covenant forever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

51Truly, truly I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death forever.

52The Jews therefore said: Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death forever.

53Art you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom do you make yourself?

54Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.

55And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.

56Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.

57The Jews therefore said to him: You art not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

58Jesus said to them: Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.

59They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
