I conducted an analysis of the phrase "I am" to see how many times it appears in the text and in which books of the Bible this phrase is mentioned. I tabulated the occurrences of "I am" and then created a graph, which is included in this post.
My observations are written below the graphs.

Observations
- Starts with John Ch 8:12 and ends with Revelation Ch 22:13
- The first light has three mentions, the seventh has 33 mentions, and the last has six mentions.
- There are fourteen entries. The seventh entry happens to have a parallel number to Jesus’ age of death, while light has three entries, a parallel number to Jesus’ resurrection. The fourteenth entry has six entries. The number is man, which is fitting, considering Jesus is the original man.
