John 8:54-55

8:54 Jesus replied, ¹  “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. ²  The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people ³  say, ‘He is our God.’ 8:55 Yet ⁴  you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, ⁵  I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey ⁶  his teaching. ⁷
