"Before Abraham was born, I am" could only mean a claim to deity. "Was born" implies the event of entering into a new state or condition of existence. "I am" (G1609, G1639) implies continuous existence, including existence when Abraham appeared. Jesus was, therefore, asserting that at the time of Abraham's birth, he existed. "I AM" was recognized by the Jews as a title of deity. | ||||||
