........well, I have read that assertion right here on CC.........So it MUST BE true right?
Well, let's see...........
John 2:18) Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 .) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 .) Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 .) But he spake of the temple of his body. 22 .) When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Luke 9:20) He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 21 .) And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22 .) Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 23 .) And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 .) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
John 10:14) I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 .) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 .) And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 .) Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 .) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 14:1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 .) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 .) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 .) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 .) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 .) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 .) If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 17:1) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 .) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 .) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 .) I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do…………………9) I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine…………18) As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 .) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 .) Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 .) That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 .) And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Matthew 26:38) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 .) And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
