'Death' in the Bible

"I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?"

I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death."

Then the Judeans responded, "Now we know you're possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, 'If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.'

The Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death.

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

The disciples replied, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?"

(Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)

(Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)

Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!" The Jewish leaders replied, "We cannot legally put anyone to death."

(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.)

(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, "Follow me."
