[Answer] What did Jesus say that caused the Jewish people to reach for stones to throw at him?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What did Jesus say that caused the Jewish people to reach for stones to throw at him?"

...A crowd of people was confronting Jesus in the Temple, accusing him of placing himself higher than the Israelite patriarch, Abraham. When Jesus responded that Abraham rejoiced to see his arrival, the people said, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" (John 8:57). Jesus responded: "Before Abraham was, I am." This was too much for the crowd to bear. The Jewish people all knew "I Am" to be the title God gave Himself when He sent Moses to deliver the Children of Israel from slavery. "Say this to the people of Israel: 'I am has sent me to you." (Exodus 3:14). So when Jesus said, "before Abraham was, I am" he equated himself with God the Father and placed himself higher than the great patriarch of the faith, Abraham. Jesus's inflammatory words provoked the Jews and they sought to stone him for his apparent blasphemy. Still, somehow, Jesus escaped the stoning, hiding himself and leaving the Temple.
