Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die — this is the fifth I-Am statement in John and the most comprehensive: Jesus identifies Himself as the resurrection and the life itself, not merely as one who has authority over resurrection but as the very source and principle of resurrection and eternal life. Belief in Jesus is the means of receiving this life, which transcends physical death. 'Will live' (zēsei) suggests a quality and reality of life that death cannot terminate.
