And why did the Jews think Jesus was saying that he had seen Abraham when Jesus just spoke of Abraham seeing his day (and therefore him)?
John 8:56-57 (ESV)
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
What is the logical progression here? Is there a translation issue?
I’m looking for how the Jews leaped to questioning that Jesus had seen Abraham rather than questioning how Abraham had seen this day. If you can show how they would be fine with the latter, you still need to solve why they think Jesus is claiming to have seen Abraham (and not the other way around). Or said differently, how did Abraham seeing Jesus’s day also mean or necessitate that Jesus had seen Abraham?
The main question remains how and/or when did Abraham see Jesus’ day, but I want to make sure your answer then informs our understanding of the Jew’s response.

If you judge others, resolve never to put an obstacle or a snare in the path of your brothers
Romans 14:12-14 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Do Not Cause Another to Stumble
13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.

Meet Joe Absher in March when he comes to Atlanta to see Link Hudson
Link Hudson
Troy Day the first I heard if it. Probably another inside joke with yourself.
Varnel Watson

Joe Absher
Hotlanta? Sorry I just can’t right now. What’s happening in March? God bless you Mr Day, and brother, Link Hudson
Varnel Watson
change of plans again? Joe Absher sorry Link
Link Hudson
Joe Absher too bad. It’s pretty nice here other than some overcast skies.
Joe Absher
It’s true i wanted to visit friends in Cleveland, Tennessee but it’s not going to happen this spring as I hoped. I have a couple of places on my wish list that’s true. I’m fishing for men and I couldn’t be happier or more challenged. And as God allows I’ll not leave until the Lord says so. Which may be some time?
Link Hudson
Joe Absher hope you catch lots of people for Hesus.
Joe Absher
It’s more like catch and release. Jesus walks with a man his whole life. It’s enough to bring men to him. You may spend hundreds of hours with one man but if he gets free and grows in grace and the knowledge of Christ and plant a passion for Jesus Christ and his great cause it’s enough to let them go. If that makes sense?
