God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say
this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to
you.’” (Exodus 3:14/ESV)

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham
was, I am.” (John 8:58/ESV)
Jesus said: “You search the Scriptures because you think that
in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness
about me,” (John 5:39/ESV)

Jesus said: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words
will not pass away.”(Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33; Mark
13:31/ESV)
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the
disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are
written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his
name. (John 20:30-31/ESV)
Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were
every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself
could not contain the books that would be written. (John
21:25/ESV)
