Many translations render this verse something like, "I existed before
Abraham did," As if to say, he is older than Abraham. The context of the
verb is such that it appears present tense to imply a continuing action. "I
have been existing since prior to Abraham". When Jesus said "Unless you
believe that I am he, you will die in your sins." Did he mean the Father?
Obviously, not, since his own testimony was not that was God, but rather
that God sent him down from heaven to drink the bitter cup of submission.
