Jesus and Abraham
John 8:48-59
Notes for June 17 Bible Study
John 8:48-51
Jesus was accused of having a demon because he disagreed with the Jewish
leaders. Who else was likewise accused? Mt 11:18
Jesus says those who keep his word will not see death. Yet Abraham
and the prophets died except Elijah (2Kings2:11). What did the Jews think
of Jesus claim? (CCC 365-66, 400, 1008)
Would it have been difficult for you to understand what Jesus was talking about?
What would make you open to understanding it today?

John 8:52-53
Why did they say, for sure we know you have a demon?
Who’s life were they trying to live their lives through?
By what standard are the Jews understanding life and in what way is Jesus living life?
What do the Jews mean by asking who do you think you are?

John 8:54-56
How does Jesus make it clear whom he claims his father is?
Verse 55 to know? St. John’s Gospel page 195, CCC 473.
What did Jesus mean about Abraham was to see the timing of my coming?
Heb 118:19 esp.13; Gen 13,14 Related Mt 22:32, 17:3, Lk 19-31 CCC 962
John 1:15
What is the major theme or overture of what Jesus is trying to say?
Jn 1:1,2 14.

John 57-59
How old was Jesus when he started his ministry? Lk 3:23
Jesus claims that I Am. What did the mean? Ex 3:14, CCC 590, 446, 2810
Why do the Jews pick up stones to execute Jesus? Lev 24:15-16, CCC 594
Were the Jews honestly attempting to carry out the laws of Moses or were they driven by a different reason?
How do you think Jesus avoided their assassination attempt? Jn 10:39, Lk 4:29-30.
So in truth Jesus who is I Am or God is standing in front of them yet they do not
see him or rather hear the truth by the word!
