John 8:55-57
Amplified Bible
55 Yet you do not know Him, but I know Him fully. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham [greatly] rejoiced to see My day (My incarnation). [a]He saw it and was delighted.”(A) 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not even fifty years old, and You [claim to] have seen Abraham?”
