John8:53

Whom makest thou thyself? Or, who dost thou pretend to be? Although the greatest of the prophets have died, yet thou--a Nazarene, a Samaritan, and a devil--pretendest that thou canst keep thy followers from dying! It would have been scarcely possible to ask a question implying more contempt and scorn.
