Clause Search Help
How would I do a clause search for Person:Jesus and then everytime he claims "I Am"? Any ideas?

I'm not sure you can get a clause search to do that. If you search subject:Jesus verb:to be, that will get you the instances that Jesus uses the ego eimi formula, but you will also get some false positives. I think you would need to do a morph search to get more specific, but I could be wrong.

Do a Bible search then with: Jesus NEAR "i am"

I was afraid of that. I don't know anything about Morphology really...
Search for "I Am" with Match Case selected as certain bibles emphasise the Greek that way.

I would use the words-of-christ fields in a Bible search. Unfortunately, that only works for English searches, which is not ideal for this sort of thing. However, a Top Bibles search for the following should work:
(words-of-christ:I ANDEQUALS <lemma = lbs/el/ἐγώ>) WITHIN 1 WORD (words-of-christ:am ANDEQUALS <lemma ~ lbs/el/εἰμί>)
