John 8:55-59
8:55 Yet
you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him,
I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey
his teaching.
8:56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed
to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
8:57 Then the Judeans replied, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
8:58 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, before Abraham came into existence, I am!”
8:59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.
