Searching for Jesus' words about himself
Is there any way to search for what Jesus says about himself? I keep throwing things at the wall in my Clause and Bible searches, but I'm not getting anywhere.
Thanks!

One Bible search idea is singular relative pronoun OR singular 1st person εἰμί OR Propositional Outline of Concession WITHIN Speaker of Jesus:
((([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ RP1?S??>) OR (([field bible, content] <Lemma = lbs/el/εἰμί>) ANDEQUALS ([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ V???1S??>)) OR {Section <PropositionalOutline = Concession>}) WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>})
John 3:3 has one of the nine Propositional Outline Concession results.

Thanks, this is helpful. And definitely not something I would've come up with myself!0

It rather depends on what you mean by "says about himself". I'd be inclined to start with:
<Person Jesus> WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>}
You could remove indicatives with (<Person Jesus> NOTEQUALS <LogosMorphGr ~ V??I????>) WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>}, but you might lose more than you want.
The problem with KS4J's suggestion is that it misses out all the Son of Man sayings (among others), e.g.
Mark 9:31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”

Comparing search results found Matthew 11:10 lacking <Person Jesus> so expanded search:
(<Person Jesus> OR <Person God>) WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>}
