Bible Verses About I Am the Way: 12

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

— John 14:6 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about I Am the Way want Scripture on Jesus' John 14:6 title — the way and the truth and the life — not only the broader I Am sayings inventory alone, the Truth list alone, or the Jesus survey alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about I Am, Bible verses about truth, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about eternal life, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. I Am the Way here means John 14:6's hodos / alētheia / zōē title — distinct from the I Am inventory / Truth / Jesus lists alone. The full way, truth, and life triple is Bible verses about the Way the Truth and the Life.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "way" is ὁδός hodos (Strong's G3598; Bible Hub G3598) — a road or path. "Truth" is ἀλήθεια alētheia (Strong's G225; Bible Hub G225). "Life" is ζωή zōē (Strong's G2222; Bible Hub G2222). John 14:6 joins them: Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life — the only path to the Father. This list tracks that way-title, not every I Am saying and not the truth inventory alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on John 14 presses that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father but by him (Bible Hub MHC John 14; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on John 14). (I Am, Truth, and Jesus live on those pages; this list centers John 14:6's hodos title.)
