John 8:54-59

⁵⁴Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

⁵⁵Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.

⁵⁶Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”

⁵⁷So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?!”

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM!”

⁵⁹Then they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus was concealed and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them; yes, that is how He got away!
