john 8:57 The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

57-59. 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.

john 8:57 The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
