SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:6
Jess le dice: YO SOY el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre, sino por mí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:6
Verse 6. I am the WAY] That leads so the Father:-the TRuth that teaches the knowledge of God, and directs in the way:- the LIFE that animates all those who seek and serve him, and which is to be enjoyed eternally at the end of the way. Christ is the WAY: 1. By his doctrine, chap. vi. 68. 2. By his example, 1 Pet. ii. 91. 3. By his sacrifice, Heb. ix. 8, 9. 4. By his Spirit, chap. xvi. 13.
He is the TRuth: 1. In opposition to all false religions. 2. To the Mosaic law, which was only the shadow, not the truth or substance, of the good things which were to come. And 3. In respect to all the promises of God, 2 Cor. i. 20.
He is the LIFE, both in grace and glory; the life that not only saves from death, but destroys it.
No man cometh unto the Father] By any other doctrine, by any other merit, or by any other intercession than mine.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , etc.] Our Lord takes the opportunity of this discourse about the place he was going to, and the way unto it, more fully to instruct his disciples concerning himself, saying, I am the way; Christ is not merely the way, as he goes before his people as an example; or merely as a prophet, pointing out unto them by his doctrine the way of salvation; but he is the way of salvation itself by his obedience and sacrifice; nor is there any other; he is the way of his Fathers appointing, and which is entirely agreeable to the perfections of God, and suitable to the case and condition of sinners; he is the way to all the blessings of the covenant of grace; and he is the right way into a Gospel church state here; no one comes rightly into a church of Christ but by faith in him; and he is the way to heaven: he is entered into it himself by his own blood, and has opened the way to it through himself for his people: he adds, the truth he is not only true, but truth itself: this may regard his person and character; he is the true God, and eternal life; truly and really man; as a prophet he taught the way of God in truth; as a priest, he is a faithful, as well as a merciful one, true and faithful to him that appointed him; and as a King, just and true are all his ways and administrations: he is the sum and substance of all the truths of the Gospel; they are all full of him, and centre in him; and he is the truth of all the types and shadows, promises and prophecies of the Old Testament; they have all their accomplishment in him; and he is the true way, in opposition to all false ones of mans devising. And this phrase seems to be opposed to a notion of the Jews, that the law was the true way of life, and who confined truth to the law. They have a saying f596 , that tma wtrwtw hm , Moses and his law are the truth; this they make Korah and his company say in hell. That the law of Moses was truth, is certain; but it is too strong an expression to say of Moses himself, that he was truth; but well agrees with Christ, by whom grace and truth came in opposition to Moses, by whom came the law: but when they say f597 , hrwt ala tma ya , there is no truth but the law, they do not speak truth. More truly do they speak, when, in answer to that question, tma hm , what is truth? it is said, that he is the living God, and King of the world f598 , characters that well agree with Christ. And the life : Christ is the author and giver of life, natural, spiritual, and eternal; or he is the way of life, or the living way; in opposition to the law, which was so far from being the way of life, that it was the ministration of condemnation and death: he always, and ever will be the way; all in this way live, none ever die; and it is a way that leads to eternal life: and to conclude all the epithets in one sentence, Christ is the true way to eternal life It is added by way of explanation of him, as the way, no man cometh unto the Father but by me ; Christ is the only way of access unto the Father; there is no coming to God as an absolute God, not upon the foot of the covenant of works, nor without a Mediator; and the only Mediator between God and man is Christ: he introduces and presents the persons and services of his people to his Father, and gives them acceptance with him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Here are three words, upon any of which stress may be laid. Upon the word troubled. Be not cast down and disquieted. The word heart. Le your heart be kept with full trust in God. The word your. Howeve others are overwhelmed with the sorrows of this present time, be no you so. Christ's disciples, more than others, should keep their mind quiet, when everything else is unquiet. Here is the remedy against thi trouble of mind, "Believe." By believing in Christ as the Mediato between God and man, we gain comfort. The happiness of heaven is spoke of as in a father's house. There are many mansions, for there are man sons to be brought to glory. Mansions are lasting dwellings. Chris will be the Finisher of that of which he is the Author or Beginner; i he have prepared the place for us, he will prepare us for it. Christ is the sinner's Way to the Father and to heaven, in his person as God manifest in the flesh, in his atoning sacrifice, and as our Advocate He is the Truth, as fulfilling all the prophecies of a Saviour believing which, sinners come by him the Way. He is the Life, by whose life-giving Spirit the dead in sin are quickened. Nor can any man dra nigh God as a Father, who is not quickened by Him as the Life, an taught by Him as the Truth, to come by Him as the Way. By Christ, a the Way, our prayers go to God, and his blessings come to us; this is the Way that leads to rest, the good old Way. He is the Resurrectio and the Life. All that saw Christ by faith, saw the Father in Him. I the light of Christ's doctrine, they saw God as the Father of lights and in Christ's miracles, they saw God as the God of power. The holiness of God shone in the spotless purity of Christ's life. We ar to believe the revelation of God to man in Christ; for the works of the Redeemer show forth his own glory, and God in him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
6. I am the way. The disciples are engrossed with the thought of separation from Jesus. To Thomas, ignorance of whither Jesus is going involves ignorance of the way. "Therefore, with loving condescension the figure is taken up, and they are assured that He is Himself, if we may so speak, this distance to be traversed" (Milligan and Moulton). All along the course to the Father's house they are still with Him.The truth. As being the perfect revelation of God the Father: combining in Himself and manifesting all divine reality, whether in the being, the law, or the character of God. He embodies what men ought to know and believe of God; what they should do as children of God, and what they should be.
The life. Not only life in the future world. He is "the principle and source of life in its temporal development and future consummation, so that whoever has not received Him into himself by faith, has become a prey to spiritual and eternal death" (Meyer). "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." Compare Col. iii. 4; John vi. 50, 51; xi. 25, 26. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. Without the way there is no going; without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living. I am the way which thou shouldst pursue; the truth which thou shouldst believe; the life which thou shouldst hope for" (Thomas a Kempis, "Imitation of Christ," iii. 56). On zwh, life, see on i. 4.
Unto the Father. The end of the way.
