 The Gospel of John features several prominent instances where Jesus says "ἐγώ εἰμι" (*egō eimi*) which commentators have understood beyond the plain grammatical sense (e.g., "I am" or "It is I"), understanding it as a translation of the Hebrew name of God: I AM.
 
-I've repeatedly heard there are seven such statements in the Gospel of John (e.g., [6:48](ref:JHN 6:48); [9:5](ref:JHN 9:5); [10:7](ref:JHN 10:7), [11](ref:JHN 10:11); [11:25-26](ref:JHN 11:25-26); [14:6](ref:JHN 14:6); [15:1](ref:JHN 15:1)),[^fn0] but there are more.

 Bultmann further distinguishes between three grammatical uses:[^fn3]
 
 - Absolute with no predicate ([John 8:24](ref:JHN 8:24), [28](ref:JHN 8:28), [58](ref:JHN 8:58); [13:19](ref:JHN 13:19)). These can most clearly be optimally translated as "I AM" (and the sentences often feel incomplete due to the missing predicate, which sometimes leads translators to say "I am *he*," supplying the pronoun).

+>Peter’s name means "rock," and it is ironical that his sinking in the water was the only occasion on which he demonstrated a truly *rock*like quality. This man "of little faith" serves in Matthew's version as a symbol of every believer who walks toward Jesus in darkness and turmoil. Even in his failure, he is not condemned; he is saved by the extended hand of Jesus.[^fn1]
