In John 8: 24 Jesus is claiming prophesies of Isaiah. The background of vs.
12ff. is Isaiah 49: 4-7 and in vs. 21-29 you can find several connections
with Isaiah 52: 13 - 53: 12.
So Jesus is expressing with emphasis: *I* am the Servant of the LORD.

Arie is absolutely correct here.  In Isaiah we find numerous usages of EGW 
EIMI with regard to YHWH

Is 42, 8 EGW KURIOS hO QEOS, TOUTO MOU ESTIN TO ONOMA

ANEXOMAI hUMIN . . .

and many others.  If I remember correctly Joachim Jeremias wrote concerning 
this.
