ExplanationCommentary
Verse 58. Before Abraham was made, I am. [4] Christ here speaks of his eternal existence as God. Saint Augustine shews this by these very words, I am. He does not say, before Abraham was made, I was made: because, as the Son of God, he never was made: but I am, which shews his eternal divine nature. Witham.
