Verse explanation

This is the first of several times Jesus uses the expression “I am” followed by an image — bread, light, door, way, among others — throughout this Gospel. “I am,” on its own, was also how God introduced Himself to Moses in the book of Exodus, so the expression carries more weight than a simple introduction.

From the John 6 study in Bible in Stories.
