"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." ~John 8:58 KJV
βJesus the Nazarene,β they replied. βI Am he,β Jesus said. (Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.) As Jesus said βI Am he,β they all drew back and fell to the ground!
John 18:5-6 NLT
Who has worked and done it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning?Β βI, Yahweh, am the first; and with the last, I am He.ββ βΒ Is 41:4Β LSB
βYou are My witnesses,βΒ declares Yahweh, βAnd My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me AndΒ understand that I am He.Β Before Me there was no god formed, And there will be none after Me.Β βΒ Is 43:10Β LSB
Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand;Β I act and who can reverse it?β βΒ Is 43:13Β LSB
βHear Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called;Β I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.Β βΒ Is 48:12Β LSB
You will notice that in the sentence ββ¦ ForΒ unless you believe that I amΒ He, you will die in your sins.ββ theΒ HeΒ is italicized, meaning that it does not appear in the Greek scriptures, only in some english translations.
Either way it makes no difference when you considerΒ Isaiah chapters 40β55, where God repeatedly says, βI am heβ. SeeΒ Is 41:4;43:10;43:13;48:12.
The undeniable conclusion Is that Jesus is the great I AM of exodus 3:14-16, the same βI Am [He]β of Isaiah & Deuteronomy, made manifest in the flesh (Jn 1:1-3,14).
I AM the Bread of LifeΒ (6:35,41,48,51);Β I AM the Light of the WorldΒ (8:12);Β I AM the Door of the SheepΒ (10:7,9);Β I AM the Good ShepherdΒ (10:11,14);Β I AM the Resurrection and the LifeΒ (11:25);Β I AM the Way, the Truth and the LifeΒ (14:6); andΒ I AM the True VineΒ (15:1,5).
This is all in the Book of John.
