“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
