In which gospel do the I AM statements appear?

• A. John.
• B. Luke.
• C. Mark.
• D. Matthew.

Answer: (A)

These "I AM" statements are a distinctive feature of the Gospel of John. Throughout John, Jesus uses ego eimi to reveal himself in ways that echo God’s self-revelation in the Hebrew Bible—saying, for example, “I am the bread of life,” “I am the light of the world,” “I am the door,” “I am the good shepherd,” “I am the resurrection and the life,” “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” and “I am the true vine.” These declarations tie Jesus’ identity directly to divine roles and authority, showing him as the ultimate revealer of God. The other gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—do not present this same pattern of explicit self-identification with these titles as central to their narratives. For that reason, the gospel that contains these statements is John.
