This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
25. ἐγώ εἰμι. see on Joh 6:35. He draws her from her selfish grief to Himself. There is no need for Him to pray as man to God (Joh 11:22); He (and none else) is the Resurrection and the Life. There is no need to look forward to the last day; He is (not ‘will be’) the Resurrection and the Life. Comp. Joh 14:6; Col 3:4. In what follows, the first part shews how He is the Resurrection, the second how He is the Life. ‘He that believeth in Me, even if he shall have died (physically), shall live (eternally). And every one that liveth (physically) and believeth in Me, shall never die (eternally).’ The dead shall live; the living shall never die. Physical life and death are indifferent to the believer; they are but modes of existence.
