54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your[m] God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw [i]it and was glad.”[/i]
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” ( Gods name not his )
jesus was telling the jews you say He is your God but you do not know Him . I know Him (see jesus making a clear distinction between himself and God even here in this very sentence ?) jesus did not say before abraham was he existed as I AM . jesus said before abraham was , I AM ( which is the name of God ) ... so " before abraham was , God " before abraham existed God existed
