What comes to mind for me is how Jesus calls himself the Way. Also reading down to verse 23 gives the idea that there will be some who talk the talk but don't really know the person. There may be many that are relying on a religious system of some sort, but are not really trusting in the person the information is supposed to lead us to.<br /><br />But that is just my current filter.
