3Abram fell face down and God said to him: 4For my part, here is my covenant with you: you are to become the father of a multitude of nations. 5No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a multitude of nations. 6I will make you exceedingly fertile; I will make nations of you; kings will stem from you. 7I will maintain my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an everlasting covenant, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land in which you are now residing as aliens, the whole land of Canaan, as a permanent possession; and I will be their God. 9God said to Abraham: For your part, you and your descendants after you must keep my covenant throughout the ages.

4Seek out the LORD and his might; constantly seek his face. 5Recall the wondrous deeds he has done, his wonders and words of judgment, 6You descendants of Abraham his servant, offspring of Jacob the chosen one! 7II - He the LORD, is our God whose judgments reach through all the earth. 8He remembers forever his covenant, the word he commanded for a thousand generations, 9Which he made with Abraham, and swore to Isaac,

8Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as on the day of Massah in the desert.

51Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” 52[So] the Jews said to 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.’ 53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?” 54Jesus 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.’ 55You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. 56Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad. 57So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” 58Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.” 59So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.
