Before Abraham (Jn 8:56-59)
The Latin:
Ábraham pater vester exsultávit ut vidéret diem meum : vidit, et gavísus est. Dixérunt ergo Iudǽi ad eum : Quinquagínta annos nondum habes, et Ábraham vidísti ? Dixit eis Iésus : Amen, amen dico vobis, ántequam Ábraham fíeret, ego sum. Tulérunt ergo lápides, ut iácerent in eum : Iésus autem abscóndit se, et exívit de templo.
The English:
Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
