My Greek classes always translated ego eimi as “I am.” Without fail. FWIW, “am” does indicate continued state of being.

No it indicates existence here and now.

“My Greek classes always translated ego eimi as “I am” “.

Then how would your Greek class translate John 6:20?

”Without fail. FWIW, “am” does indicate continued state of being.”

Would you care to elaborate?
