People often cite John 4:16 when asked if Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Are there other places that Jesus says he is the “only” way heaven? Or is this another example of the book John citing something about Jesus not found anywhere else? Thanks

Do you mean John 14:6? I’ve never seen anything else attributed directly to Jesus that is equivalent to it.

It’s in the epistles, and it is elsewhere in jn (eg, I think you get a similar message throughout the bread of life discourse in jn 6). The Johannine logion might be a case (Mt 11:27).

I think Jesus’ exclusivity is implicit in the NT but there are a few such instances where it is stated explicitly other than the ones already stated.

Acts 4:11-12

This Jesus is

‘the stone that was rejected by you, the builders;
it has become the cornerstone.’

“There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”

1 Tim 2:5-6

For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind,

Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all
