John chapter 8 v 48-59
Particularly v 58: "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" (NIV)
The people to whom he said this subsequently attempted to stone him for his claim of divinity.

I'll learn what I can.
Trust that it will be sufficient to understand evidence which, in turn, affirms faith.
