John 8 : Jews vs Jesus - Who knows the father ?

NEW ADVENT BIBLE: John 8: 48-59

The Jews therefore answered and said to him (Jesus Christ):
       
            Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan and have a devil?

Jesus answered:
          I have not a devil:
          but I honour my Father.
          And you have dishonoured me.
          But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
        
         Amen, amen, I say to you:
         If any man keep my word,
         he shall not see death for ever. {Assertion}

The Jews therefore said: {Counter-argument}

           Now we know that you have a devil.
          Abraham is dead, and the prophets:
          and you say:
          If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.


         Are you greater than our father Abraham who is dead? {Exhibit/ Evidence}
         And the prophets are dead. Whom do you make yourself?

 Jesus answered:
    
    If I glorify myself,
    my glory is nothing.
    It is my Father that glorifies me,
    of whom you say that he is your God.
    And you have not known him: {Assertion}
    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. {conclusion}

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

The Jews therefore said to him:

       You are not yet fifty years old.
       And you have seen Abraham?
      
Jesus said to them:

        Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM.

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