John 8:53
Douay-Rheims
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
John Chrysostom
(Hom. lv. 1) Again, they have recourse to the vainglorious argument of their descent: Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, winch is dead? They might have said, Art Thou greater than God, whose words they are dead who heard? But they do not say this, because they thought Him inferior even to Abraham.
