Matthew Poole and continuators on John 8:53

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thy self ?

If thou canst so effect it, that those who keep thy sayings shall not dye; thou canst also make thy self Immortal; neither Abraham, nor the Prophets could save themselves from Death, they are all dead; What art thou? What doest thou make thy self? And by the way, this was another charge upon our Saviour, the Iews having no patience with any that should prefer himself before their Father Abraham or Moses.
