Bible Verses About Jesus

What does the Bible say about Jesus?

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the eternal Word of God who became a man (John 1:1, 14). He died for our sins and rose on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4), He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and He will come again (Acts 1:11). The first Christians worshipped Him as Lord and God.

How the early church read itRead differently

How it is used today: Used as the whole gospel in one verse: anyone who believes in Jesus receives eternal life as a free gift, by faith and not by works, and many teach that this life, once received, can never be lost.

First spoken: Jesus said this to Nicodemus, a Jewish teacher who came to Him at night (John 3:1-21). A few lines earlier Jesus told him, "unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5), and in verse 21 He speaks of the one who "does the truth."

The early Christians: Chrysostom reads the verse as God's great love in giving His only Son for ungrateful sinners, which Protestants also teach. But he says believing is not enough without a right life, and Justin Martyr shows that those who believed also promised to live by Christ's teaching and were then baptized, the new birth of John 3:5, as Tertullian and Chrysostom also taught.

“Even if a person believes rightly about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, if he does not live rightly, his faith will be of no help toward his salvation. Therefore, when He says, "This is life eternal, that they may know You the only true God" in John 17:3, let us not think that the knowledge spoken of is enough for our salvation. Besides this, we also need a very careful life and conduct.” John Chrysostom, Homilies on John

“All who are convinced and believe that what we teach and say is true, and commit to living accordingly, are instructed to pray and ask God for the remission of their past sins with fasting, while we pray and fast with them. Then, they are brought by us to water and are regenerated in the same way we were.” Justin Martyr, First Apology

The difference: Both readings see God's huge love in giving His Son. But today "believes" is often taken to mean trusting Christ apart from works or baptism; the early Christians read it as a faith that is baptized ("born of water and the Spirit," John 3:5) and goes on living rightly, and Chrysostom says faith alone is not enough.

Romans 5:8

KJV
King James Version

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Berean Standard Bible (modern English)

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Listen

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about Romans 5:8

How the early church read itSame reading

How it is used today: Used to show that God loved us before we did anything good: while we were still sinners, Christ died in our place to pay for our sins.

First spoken: Paul wrote this to the church in Rome. Verse 5 says God's love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and verses 9-10 go on: having been reconciled by His death, "we shall be saved by His life."

The early Christians: Chrysostom and the Epistle to Diognetus read this verse just as evangelicals do: Christ died for us while we were sinners and enemies, the holy One for the wicked, which shows God's great love. Diognetus goes on to say that whoever knows this love should love Him back and imitate His kindness, and Chrysostom says that forgiveness is given freely in baptism.

“If no one would quickly choose to die even for a righteous person, then think about your Master's love. He was crucified not for righteous people, but for sinners and enemies.” John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans

“He Himself took on the burden of our iniquities, giving His own Son as a ransom for us—the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for those who are mortal.” Mathetes, Epistle to Diognetus

Where they agree: Both readings agree: God showed His love by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners and enemies, before we had done anything good. The Epistle to Diognetus even calls it a "sweet exchange," the holy One given as a ransom for the wicked.

Isaiah 53:5

KJV
King James Version

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Listen

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about Isaiah 53:5

How the early church read itRead differently

How it is used today: Used to teach penal substitution: on the cross Jesus took the punishment our sins deserved, in our place, satisfying God's justice, so that all who trust Him are forgiven and "healed" of sin.

First spoken: Isaiah's fourth Servant Song (52:13-53:12), written centuries before Christ, about the Servant who suffers for the sins of the people. The New Testament applies it to Jesus: Matthew 8:17 (v. 4, healings), Acts 8:32-35 (v. 7-8), and 1 Peter 2:24, which adds that we were healed so that we might "live for righteousness" and follow His example (2:21).

The early Christians: The early Christians fully agreed that Christ was wounded for our sins, bore our curse, and heals us by His wounds. Justin adds that this forgiveness is ours if we repent and follow His commandments, and Clement of Rome reads the chapter as Christ's example of humility that we must copy.

“Let none of you say: If His Father wanted Him to suffer so that the human race might be healed by His wounds, we have done nothing wrong. If you truly repent of your sins, recognize Him as Christ, and follow His commandments, then you can claim this; for, as I said before, remission of sins will be yours.” Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho

“You see, beloved, the example that has been given to us; for if the Lord humbled Himself like this, what shall we do who have through Him come under the yoke of His grace?” Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians

The difference: Today this verse is used mainly to explain how the cross works: Jesus took God's punishment in our place, so trusting Him is enough. The early Christians agreed He suffered for our sins, but they used the verse to call people to repent, keep His commandments and follow His humble example, as 1 Peter 2:21-24 also does.

1 Peter 2:24

KJV
King James Version

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about Hebrews 13:8

How the early church read itSame reading

How it is used today: Used to teach that Jesus and His character never change, so we can trust Him as the early church did, and by some to say the miracles and healings of the Gospels still happen today.

First spoken: Hebrews 13 tells readers to remember their leaders who spoke God's word (13:7) and, right after this verse, not to be carried away by various and strange teachings (13:9).

The early Christians: Alexander of Alexandria quotes it against Arius to prove that the Son is not a created thing and does not change. Novatian uses God's unchanging nature to show He is eternal, not mortal.

“For even though one saying may refer to the Father Himself, yet it would now be more aptly spoken of the Word, because when He became man, He changed not. But, as the apostle says, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever," Hebrews 13:8.” Alexander of Alexandria, Epistles on the Arian Heresy

“He, then, is always like Himself. Nor does He ever turn or change Himself into any form, lest by change He should seem to be mortal.” Novatian, Treatise Concerning the Trinity

Where they agree: Both say Christ is unchanging God. The early church used the verse mainly to defend His full deity against those who said the Son was made; the popular claim that it promises the same miracles today is not what they argued from it.

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about John 14:6

How the early church read itSame reading

How it is used today: Used to teach that Jesus is the only way to God and to heaven: no other religion, teacher or path can bring a person to the Father.

First spoken: Jesus said this to His disciples at the Last Supper, after Thomas asked, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" (John 14:5). A few verses later He adds, "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (14:15).

The early Christians: John Chrysostom, Irenaeus, Cyprian and Hermas all read it plainly: no one comes to the Father except through the Son. Hermas pictures Christ as the only gate into the kingdom, and then warns that bearing His name without His power does no good, and Chrysostom goes straight on to cleansing by baptism and a changed life.

“"If," He says, "I have sole authority to bring to the Father, you shall surely come there; for neither is it possible to come by any other way."” John Chrysostom, Homilies on John

“For if you receive the name only, and do not receive the clothing from them, they are of no benefit to you. For these virgins are the powers of the Son of God. If you bear His name but do not have His power, then you bear His name in vain.” Hermas, The Shepherd

Where they agree: Both teach that no one comes to God except through Jesus. The early Christians added that coming through Him means taking His name and living by His power: Hermas warns that bearing His name without His power is "in vain."

Listen

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about John 11:25-26

How the early church read itSame reading

How it is used today: Used as a promise of resurrection and eternal life: whoever believes in Jesus will live even though his body dies, will never die the second (eternal) death, and need not fear death; it is read at Christian funerals.

First spoken: Jesus says this to Martha at Bethany, four days after her brother Lazarus died (John 11:17-27). She has just said she believes in the resurrection "at the last day"; Jesus says He Himself is the resurrection, and then raises Lazarus (11:43-44).

The early Christians: Chrysostom, on these verses, says "though he die" means the death all share, while "never die" points to "that other death," so the believer's death "is not death." Cyprian quotes them to tell Christians not to fear dying or mourn without hope, since they shall not die eternally and will reign with Christ.

“If we believe in Christ, let us have faith in His words and promises. And since we shall not die eternally, let us come to Christ with glad confidence, for with Him we are both to conquer and to reign forever.” Cyprian, On Mortality

“What is Christ's reply? "He who believes in Me, even though he were dead, yet shall he live," here speaking of this death that is common to all. "And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die," John 11:26, pointing to that other death. Since then I am the Resurrection and the Life, do not be troubled, even though your brother is already dead. But believe, for this is not death.” John Chrysostom, Homilies on John

Where they agree: Both readings agree: Jesus is the resurrection, the believer's bodily death is not the end, and he will be raised and never die the eternal death, so Christians need not fear death. The Fathers add that this is for those who "abide in Christ" (Cyprian), and that Christians should grieve gently, with hope.

Matthew 11:28-30

KJV
King James Version

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Berean Standard Bible (modern English)

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Listen

Also in NKJV · ESV What the early church said about Matthew 11:28-30

How the early church read itRead differently

How it is used today: Used as a promise that Jesus gives rest to anyone worn out by stress, grief or guilt, and often to teach that He frees us from the heavy burden of trying to earn salvation by keeping religious rules.

First spoken: Jesus said this to the crowds in Galilee, right after thanking the Father for showing these things to "babes" and not to the wise (verses 25-27). The rest comes with a yoke: "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me," and earlier in the same Gospel He said the way to life is narrow and hard (7:13-14).

The early Christians: John Chrysostom says the heavy burden Jesus lifts is sin, and the yoke He gives in its place is His own commands: humility, meekness, turning the other cheek, giving up possessions. It is light only for those who are earnest, because "we too must certainly labor ourselves." Clement of Alexandria hears it as Christ calling all people to take His yoke and run toward immortality, and the Didache speaks of bearing "the whole yoke of the Lord."

“This is what He was hinting at when He did not first say, "Take My yoke upon you," but before that, "Come, you who labor and are heavy laden," implying that sin also has labor, and a burden that is heavy and hard to bear.” John Chrysostom, Homilies on Matthew

“For this reason Christ also, to show that we too must certainly labor ourselves, did not speak only of the gracious things and then keep silent, nor only of the painful things, but set down both. So He both spoke of a yoke and called it easy, and named a burden and added that it was light, so that you would neither run from them as burdensome nor despise them as too easy.” John Chrysostom, Homilies on Matthew

The difference: Today this verse is often used to promise rest from stress or from the work of keeping rules. The early Christians read it as rest from the weight of sin, given to those who take on Christ's yoke of obedience and humility, a yoke that is light because we carry it with Him, not because there is nothing to carry.
