58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
58 "Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
58 "Believe me," said Jesus, "I am who I am long before Abraham was anything."
58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
58 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM! "

Commentary on John 8:54-59
(Read John 8:54-59)
Christ and all that are his, depend upon God for honour. Men may be able to dispute about God, yet may not know him. Such as know not God, and obey not the gospel of Christ, are put together, Revelation 13:8. The Lord Jesus was made of God Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, to Adam, and Abel, and all that lived and died by faith in him, before Abraham. The Jews were about to stone Jesus for blasphemy, but he withdrew; by his miraculous power he passed through them unhurt. Let us stedfastly profess what we know and believe concerning God; and if heirs of Abraham's faith, we shall rejoice in looking forward to that day when the Saviour shall appear in glory, to the confusion of his enemies, and to complete the salvation of all who believe in him.
