John 8:57 Douay-Rheims

The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old--"No inference can be drawn from this as to the age of our Lord at the time as man. Fifty years was with the Jews the completion of manhood" [ALFORD]. and hast thou seen Abraham?--He had said Abraham saw Him, as being his peculiar privilege. They give the opposite turn to it--"Hast Thou seen Abraham?" as an honor too great for Him to pretend to.
