(C)It is my Father who glorifies me, (D)of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’[a] 55 But (E)you have not known him. (F)I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be (G)a liar (H)like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 (I)Your father Abraham (J)rejoiced (K)that he would see my day. (L)He saw it and was glad.” 57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[b] 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, (M)I am.” 59 So (N)they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
