Bible Verses About the Way the Truth and the Life: 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 the way the truth and the life want Scripture on John 14:6's full triple title — way and truth and life together — not only the I Am the Way path inventory 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 the Way, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about the true light, Bible verses about the only begotten Son, Bible verses about the resurrection and the 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. The way the truth and the life here means John 14:6's full hodos / alētheia / zōē claim — distinct from the I Am the Way path list alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "way" is ὁδός hodos (Strong's G3598; Bible Hub G3598); "truth" is ἀλήθεια alētheia (Strong's G225; Bible Hub G225); "life" is ζωή zōē (Strong's G2222; Bible Hub G2222). John 14:6 joins all three: Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. The companion I Am the Way page already holds path / gate / narrow-road inventory around that title; this list keeps John 14:6 as the shared lead and otherwise tracks truth-and-life speech that fills out the full triple search phrase — not that page's other eleven.

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 the Way lives on that page for path inventory; this list centers the full way-truth-life triple.)
