This is the end of the part of the story about Jesus speaking with the Jews in the temple, which began in [John 8:12](./12.md).

# The Jews said to him
|
|
|
|
Here the "Jews" is a synecdoche for the "Jewish leaders" who opposed Jesus. AT: "The Jewish leaders said to him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

|
# You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?
|
|
|
|
The Jewish leaders use this question to express their shock that Jesus claims to have seen Abraham. AT: "You are less than fifty years old. You could not have seen Abraham!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
