⁵³You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?^* And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”

*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by the phrase “are you”

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”

Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
