Abraham was first. Read Matthew 1:1-17. It is a list of the geneology from Abraham to Jesus Christ. Since Jesus was a descendent of Abraham, then Abraham obviously came first.

Jesus existed long before Abraham. He was with his Father in heaven, in fact it was through his Son Jesus, that God created all things.
John 8:58--"So, Jesus replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I existed before Abraham was born."
Prov 8:23-27--"I (Jesus) was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth, while as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the first parts of dust of the world. When He prepared the heavens, I was there; when He set a compass upon the face of the deep"

Abraham is mentioned throughout the book of Genesis! Jesus Christ isn't mentioned until Matthew, about 3,000 years after Abraham.

Jesus Christ = God
John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
The Word became flesh.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[a] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

very good question but have to be specific,
you talking about Jesus the human or the divinity of Jesus.
Jesus the human was after Abraham,
but Jesus Christ the god Was and Is before everything.

Jesus is the first born of all creation.
John 8:58 - Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Exodus 3:14 - "I AM" means "Yahweh," which means God

It was abraham. Jesus made the comment when asked "even before Abraham was, I am"
I don't know whether or not the comment had the comma in the original text or if it was inserted but it makes all the difference.

Christ, the eternal Son. In the begining was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.{John1:1} If you need any scriptures that testify that God indeed existed before His creation,{Abraham}, then no amount of scriptures would be enough.
