John 8:52-55 Part 1 of 2

At this they exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word." 

Now we know that you are demon-possessed 
John 8:48  The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"
Mark 3:22  And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons." 

Are you greater than our father Abraham? 
John 8:39  "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do what Abraham did."
John 4:12  "Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?"

If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing 
John 8:50  "I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge."
