³ And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.

³³ I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

²⁷ “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

¹⁹ This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.
