Réponses

Zōē, c'est la vie : et surtout chez Jean, la vie éternelle, donnée par Dieu, qui commence dès maintenant par Jésus — non une simple existence biologique.

Greek had more than one word for life; zōē points to life itself, vitality, and in the New Testament’s hands, the divine life God shares with his people. John layers it with “eternal,” describing a quality of life — knowing God — as much as a length.

Jesus claims to be its source: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” and came that we “may have life and have it abundantly.” This life starts the moment a person trusts Christ and cannot be ended by death.
