John 8:54-59

New American Standard Bible

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “^(A)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; ^(B)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; ⁵⁵ and ^(C)you have not come to know Him, ^(D)but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be ^(E)a liar like you; ^(F)but I do know Him, and I ^(G)follow His word. ^56 (H)Your father Abraham was ^(I)overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” ^57 (J)So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham ^[a]was born, ^[b](K)I am.” ⁵⁹ Therefore they ^(L)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus ^(M)hid Himself and left the temple grounds.
