There are many things that Jesus did where the Tanach (OT) fulfillment is hard to find such as Jesus walking on water. Then we find an obscure little passage in Job where we read that God "treads on the sea". In the case of the "I AM" statement knocking the sense out of the arresting officers, I do not think there is any prophecy related to it other than what would have happened to Moses if he didn't take the shoes off his feet. We do know one thing, and that is that Jesus was not just saying "I AM", He showed that there was power and authority behind it.

1 Thessalonicenses 4:13-18\n13 ¶  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.\n14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.\n15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.\n16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:\n17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.\n18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

A couple of passages come to mind:\n\n37“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’  Matthew 25:37-40\n\nor\n\n40“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”  Matthew 10:40-42

It says just the oposite.\n\n                           Matthew 28:19-20\n19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: \n\n 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Very well done, reminds me of Jesus walking on the water to the disciples in the storm. When they saw Him they were more afraid of Him than the storm until He said "It is I" then they were at peace. It is in the storms of live that we really learn from Him. In your third verse, when you walk with Christ there is great peace in the storm.

Paul says that women should not lead, but Jesus himself never says this. Do you want to put your faith in Jesus and follow his example? Or do you want to put your faith in a certain traditional or modern interpretation of a set of ancient manuscripts? Jesus did not preach unthinking adherence to dogma. He taught from the Old Testament, but he did not follow it blindly. He updated the old laws in light of the new era in which he lived. His message was to help us find a direct, personal relationship with our creator; he did not exhort people to simply accept whatever doctrines happened to be popular at the time. His faith was not in the Bible as it existed in his day; his faith was in the living spirit of his Divine Father. If you put your faith in Jesus and want to follow his example, then you need to seriously consider the example that he set for the people of his time. He said that he was the way to truth. Does this sound like he is saying "Find out what people have written about me, then blindly follow it with without regard for what seems right and true to you in light of your own experience and the cultural/historical context…"? No, Jesus did not tell us to worship any book, no matter how old and full of wisdom it may appear to be. He did not tell us to blindly follow any of his apostles. Jesus was a living spirit who knew his Divine Father directly. When he said he was "the way", he was inviting us to join his spirit, and this spirit was a spirit of rebellion against the soul-stifling dogmatism of his day. It was a spirit of love for humanity and fairness to the weak, poor, and downtrodden. It was a spirit of adventure – drop your old habits and knee-jerk prejudices; seek God directly through prayer and deep contemplation. THIS was the spirit of Christ, and this is what he meant by "I am the truth and the light…" Whenever you forfeit your own inner light, you forfeit your connection to the true spirit of Christ.\n\nNow, in a prayerful and contemplative mood, consult your own inner light. Ask honestly and with a truly open mind: "Should women be allowed to lead?" Does it REALLY seem right to you that men should monopolize the structures of power in the church and in government? Is this truly what is best?\n\nIf your are feeling uncertain about how you really feel, you might try imagining this: Suppose that God personally told you to do what I have just suggested. Suppose he says, "I'm going to let you write a new book of the Bible because in my divine opinion the Bible needs to be updated, and I'm picking you to write the new book." He goes on to tell you that it is crucial that you be brutally honest with yourself about how you feel. The weight of God's new message to the world rests on your shoulders, and the fate of the world rests on your ability to be insightful and honest about your feelings. Now, again, ask yourself "Is there anything truly wrong with a woman being a pastor?" What would you want to write in your new book of the Bible? Would you really feel right about telling women all over the world that they cannot have God's blessing if they acquire a position of leadership?\n\nTHIS is what it means to truly follow in the spirit of Christ. Find your own inner light –your own connection to Divinity – and speak from there. This is what Jesus did. This is what he wants us to do. The Bible is not the end of truth, it is just the beginning.\n\nAs for my denomination, I have none. Mine is the path of self-knowledge and truth, wherever it may lead.

It was Moses.  In the OT, he was called by the Spirit of God to climb Mt. Sinai.  After Moses saw the burning bush, he asked God if he could see Him.  God said "No, you'd die if you looked directly at me" (I'm paraphrasing, of course).  So God told Moses to go to a cleft in the rock and hide his face and God would pass by.  That was all Moses could handle (as a human being).

Followers of Jesus Christ.  Those who have been "born again".  Not by works, but through faith in Christ.

Jesus continued training his disciples for this work. During the last evening before his death, he encouraged them with the words: “He that exercises faith in me, that one also will do the works that I do; and he will do works greater than these.” (John 14:12) The works of his followers would be greater than his because in their ministry they would reach far more people over a much larger area and for a greater length of time. Yet, after Jesus was killed, his disciples were paralyzed with fear. They went into hiding and did not carry on the work that he had trained them to do. Some even returned to the fishing business. However, in an unforgettable way, he impressed upon these seven what he wanted them, as well as all of his followers, to do.\n\nJesus does not mean that his followers will exercise greater miraculous powers than he did. No, but he means that they will carry on the ministry for a much longer time, over a much greater area, and to far more people.\n\nThere is no Biblical record that any of them performed a miracle surpassing that of Jesus in raising Lazarus who had been dead for four days. (Joh 11:38-44) But, since Jesus was going to the Father, and his followers would receive the holy spirit to be witnesses of him “both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth” (Ac 1:8), they would cover a greater area and work for a longer time than did Jesus, in this sense doing greater works than he did.

Matthew 2:1-2  Now when Jesus was born in \n          Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the \n          king, behold, there came wise men FROM THE EAST \n          to Jerusalem, 2  Saying, Where is he that is \n          born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star \n          IN THE EAST, and are come to worship him. \n\nWhat is interesting, to me, is that the wise men were IN the East, and they saw a star in the East, which means they would have traveled AWAY from Bethlehem, not towards it. Furthermore, Herod is in Jerusalem, and the wise men are sent to Bethlehem by the Eastern Star, which, again, would send them in the wrong direction::\n\n          Matthew 2:3,7-9  When Herod the king had heard \n          these things, he was troubled, AND ALL JERUSALEM \n          with him....7  Then Herod, when he had privily \n          called the wise men, enquired of them diligently \n          what time the star appeared. 8  And he sent them \n          to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently \n          for the young child; and when ye have found him, \n          bring me word again, that I may come and worship \n          him also. 9  When they had heard the king, they \n          departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in \n          the east, went before them, till it came and \n          stood over where the young child was.\n\nIf they were East of Jerusalem, or later, IN Jerusalem, and they followed a star in the East, they would not have wound up in Bethlehem......

"All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to the dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth" (Ecclesiastes 3:20-21).\n\n"then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

Hope this inspires your research.\n\nLuke 4\nThe Temptation of Jesus \n    1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, 2where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. \n\n    3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." \n\n    4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.'[a]" \n\n    5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7So if you worship me, it will all be yours." \n\n    8Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'[b]" \n\n    9The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. 10For it is written: \n   " 'He will command his angels concerning you \n      to guard you carefully; \n    11they will lift you up in their hands, \n      so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[c]" \n\n    12Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[d]" \n\n    13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
