John 8:54-59

English Standard Version

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, ^(A)“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. ^(B)It is my Father who glorifies me, ^(C)of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’^{[a] 55} But ^(D)you have not known him. ^(E)I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be ^(F)a liar ^(G)like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. ^56 (H)Your father Abraham ^(I)rejoiced ^(J)that he would see my day. ^(K)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, ^(L)I am.” ⁵⁹ So ^(M)they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
