Jesus Christ says "I am the way, the truth, and the life" but in the Bible what are the original greek words?

Question

The New Testament was obviously not originally written in English, but Greek, so what was the original statement, and what would the literal meaning be? The same as, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." ?

Answer 1

Jesus didn't speak Greek. He spoke Aramaic and Hebrew.
Sorry, I don't speak either.

Answer 2

Do you know what the bible came from?
The New Testament was written 30 years after the death of Christ. The entire bible has been passed down through more than 2000 years of being edited and added to by scholars and scribes with their own fantastic, imaginary tales to tell. The bible has been mistranslated into many different foreign languages and back. It shouldn't be relied upon for truth.

Answer 3

He didn't reject their worship or obeisance because he knew that his father Jehovah had appointed him as King.John 18:36,37 In ancient times people would do obeisance to any human king. As for Thomas saying My Lord and My God. That was only an exclamation of joy or amazement. If somebody that you loved very much would come to you back from the dead you would probably touch that person and say O My God Oh My God Oh My Lord Oh My Lord. It would be something incredible to believe,but yet it was happening right in front of your eyes. Besides notice what the last verse of that same chapter says John 20:31 But these have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is.Is what ? God ? No that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.

Answer 4

No the manuscripts were orignally written in Hebrew and /or Aramaic, not Greek

Every book written in the New Testament was written by Israelites whose native language was Hebrew (with the possible exception of Luke). New Testament was first written in Hebrew (or Aramaic, a sister language), basing their assertion on valid grounds.

“The writers were Hebrews; and thus, while the language is Greek, the thoughts and idioms are Hebrew…If the Greek of the New Testament be regarded as an inspired translation from Hebrew or Aramaic originals, most of the various readings would be accounted for and understood,”

We must not forget that Christianity grew out of Judaism…The Pauline epistles were letters written by Paul to small [Messianic] congregations in Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome. These early [believers] were mostly Jews of the dispersion, men and women of Hebrew origin…The Epistles were translated into Greek for the use of converts who spoke Greek.

We read that Peter (Kepha) and John (Yahchanan) were untaught, unschooled, illiterate, ordinary men. “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter (Kepha) and John (Yahchanan), and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with [Yahsha], Acts 4:13.

Impetuous Peter (Kepha) was, along with James and John (Yahchanan), a fisherman. Peter (Kepha) and the others who became fishers of men hardly would be expected to write their epistles in a second language, but would logically write in Hebrew, their native tongue. Greek might be more prevalent in cosmopolitan trading and business centers such as Caesaria than in Galilee, but it was neither the language of the Apostles nor of the Temple.

At the time of the Messiah, Koine Greek language was the international language. The Hebrew Old Testament had already been translated into Greek, known as the “Septuagint,” from the Latin Septuaginta meaning “70” and often represented by the Roman numerals LXX. It is said that 72 Jewish translators sent from Jerusalem produced the version for Ptolemy II for his library in Alexandria, Egypt, in the third century BCE.

John (Yahchanan) 19:19-20 reveals that Hebrew, Latin, and Greek were the languages spoken in Palestine at the time the Savior was impaled. Not all understood Greek, Latin, or Hebrew. When the Messiah was teaching His disciples on this earth,he spoke in Hebrew and Aramaic, the Koine Greek continued as the international language, but was relatively unknown or not understood in the rural towns nor by the Apostles

Answer 5

Hodos, aletheia, and zoe. Hodos is like 'road', the others translate as 'truth' and 'life'.
As to what the statement means, the 'way' was a narrow path that led into the Holy part of the temple, to make sacrifice for sin. The truth is honoring God's laws, and the 'life' is the tree of life. The next statement, 'No one comes to the Father except through me' can best be explained in the idea of David and his son, Solomon. David had all the details to the first temple laid out and ready to build, Solomon simply knew the plan. So it is with God. God had it all in place, Yahshua knew the plan.

Answer 6

The English versions are translated directly from the original statement in the Greek.But here is the verse in Greek anyway:

λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ὁδὸς καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια καὶ ἡ ζωή οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸν πατέρα εἰ μὴ δι' ἐμοῦ

John 14:6

EDIT:
I also found a great page with a hover-over word translator for that verse so you can look:
