John 4:20-26

'My people shall know my name... that I am he that speaks' supplies the divine 'I am he' (ego eimi ho lalon) Jesus uses in v26, knitting revelation-of-name to direct speech. Volume is strong on the unusual 'he that speaks / I am he' formula.

Medium confidence
John 17:6-10

'Therefore my people shall know my name' anticipates 'I revealed your name to the people... they have known' (vv6-7). The eschatological Name-knowledge promised to the elect people coheres tightly with Jesus' report to the Father; moderate Volume via the shared name/know pairing.
