John 6:20 to Exodus 3:14

NT Text: John 6:20

OT Source(s):

• Exodus 3:14 ("I AM")
• Psalms 77:16 (God's manifestation at exodus)
• Job 9:8 (God walks on waters)

Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Reference Type: Allusion

Connection Method(s): Longitudinal Theme + Typology

Significance: Plain meaning = self-identification; deeper level = epiphany overtones. "Do not be afraid" is frequent God-message to his people (Genesis 26:24; Deuteronomy 1:21; Joshua 1:9). Jesus walking on water echoes Job 9:8.
