Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees you were yet again accusing Him. He declares to them that He is God and has always been.

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 8:58 (KJV)

In this he is quoting from the Old Testament also.

14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Ex 3:14 (KJV)
