Jesus didn't directly address "other religions" as distinct systems but emphasized a singular path to God through himself ("I am the way, the truth, and the life," John 14:6), contrasting true worship in "spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24) with mere religious tradition, rebuking hypocritical leaders while welcoming outcasts, and focusing on internal transformation over external observance. His teachings highlight an exclusive claim to God but also a broad inclusivity of people seeking genuine connection, even if he often engaged with different Jewish sects rather than formal "world religions".
