📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, this verse occurs after Jesus teaches about himself as the Bread of Life, which causes many of his followers to turn away because they find it too difficult to accept. Jesus then asks his twelve disciples if they too will leave him. Peter responds by affirming his faith, declaring that Jesus has the words of eternal life and there's nowhere else to go.
