"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw
it, and was glad.
“Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years
old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [Abraham lived approximately 2000 years
earlier.]
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
“Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so
passed by." - John 8:56-59 KJV
Why did the Jews take up stones to cast at Jesus?
Because they understood that Jesus was letting them know He
is God, the “I AM.”
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto
you." - Exodus 3:14 KJV
