Jesus said: I am the resurrection and the life. He who puts active faith in me will live, even if he dies.

Jesus proclaimed: I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through me.

Was manifested

Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, which was kept secret since the world began.

I exhort the elders among you. I too am an older man and a witness of the sufferings of Christ. I am also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed.

Shew

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. We know him that is true for we are in him who is true, [and] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and everlasting life.

That eternal

This is everlasting life that they should have *deep, intimate knowledge of you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have commissioned. *(Greek: ginosko: know, perceive, be sure, understand)

Which was

Jehovah created me in the beginning of his way, before his works of antiquity.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was like God (God-like).

No one has ever ascended into heaven but the Son of man who descended from heaven.

I know him because I am from him and he sent me.

I speak the things that I have seen and heard when I was with my Father. You also do the things that you heard from your father.
