Luke, xvi. 31. Matt. xiv. 13. 45 for, if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me: 46 but, if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? CHAPTER VI. so many? and Jesus said, Make the men sit down : 10 and there was much grass in the place so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to the dis AFTER these things, Jesus ciples, and the disciples to those went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias: 2 and a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up to a mountain, and sat there with his disciples: that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces that remain, that nothing be lost : 13 they gathered them together, therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces 4 and the passover, the feast of the five barley loaves, which of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus, therefore, lifted up his eyes, and saw that a great multitude was coming to him, he saith to Philip, From whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 and this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, if each should take but a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, 9 Here is a lad that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among 18 and the sea was raised, by saw the miracles, but because a violent wind that blew : 19 and when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid : ye eat of the loaves, and were 27 labour not for the food 20 but he saith to them, It God the Father set his seal. is I; be not afraid : 21 then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going. 22 On the following day, the multitude which had stood on the other side of the sea, and saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus went not into that boat with his disciples, but that his disciples went away alone; 23 (but boats had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they had eaten the bread, after the Lord had given thanks ;) 24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they entered into those boats, and went to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus: 25 and when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I tell you, Ye seek me, not because ye 28 Then they said to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, The work of God is this; that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore to him, What sign shewest thou, then, that we may see, and believe thee; what dost thou work? 31 our fathers eat the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from Ps.lxxviii. 24. "heaven to eat :" 32 then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I tell you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven: 33 for, the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world: 34 then they said to him, Lord, give us always that bread : 35 and Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who cometh to me, will never hunger; and he who believeth on me, will never thirst: 36 but I told you, That Heb. x. 9. v. 64. Is. liv. 13. though ye have seen me, yet that hath heard and learned 41 The Jews, therefore, murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven: 42 and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it, then, that he now saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves : 44 no one can come to me, unless the Father, who hath sent me, draw him and him I will raise up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God:" every one from the Father, cometh to me: 46 not that any one hath seen the Father; save he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I tell you, He who believeth, hath eternal life: I am the bread of life: 48 your fathers eat the manna in the wilderness, and are dead: 49 the bread which cometh down from heaven, is that of which if any one eat, he will not die. 50 I am the living bread, that have come down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world, is my flesh: 51 the Jews, therefore, contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 52 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I tell you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you: 53 he who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day: 54 for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed: 55 he who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him : 56 as the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the V. 44. Father: so, also, he who eateth me, will live by me: 57 this is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers eat the manna, and are dead; he who eateth this bread, will live for ever. 58 These words he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum: 59 many, therefore, of his disciples, when they had heard them, said, This is a hard doctrine; who can receive it? 60 but Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, Stumble ye at this? 61 what, then, if ye saw the AFTER these things, Jesus 62 it is the spirit that giveth life, the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life but there are some of you that believe not: 63 For Jesus knew, from the beginning, which were they that believed not; and who would betray him: 64 and he said, Therefore I told you, that no one can come to me, unless it be granted to him by the Father. 65 From that time many of his disciples went back from him, and walked no longer with him: 66 then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away? walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 And the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand : 3 his brethren therefore said to him, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest: 4 for no one doeth any thing in secret, if he himself seeketh to be known openly since thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world: 5 for, neither did his brethren believe in him. 6 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready: 7 the world cannot hate you; which were feast days. Lev. xxiii. 34-36. 9 and having said these words to them, he remained in Galilee: 10 but, when his brethren were gone up to the feast, then he also went up; not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 The Jews, therefore, sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 12 and there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: but others said, Nay; for he misleadeth the multitude: 13 but no one spake openly of him, through fear of the Jews. 14 And about the middle of the festival, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught: 15 and the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said, My doctrine is not my own, but that of him who sent me: 17 if any one wisheth to do his will, he will know of the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself: 18 he who speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he who seeketh the glory the law? yet not one of you Matt. xij. ¿ keepeth the law. 20 Why seek ye to kill me? The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who seeketh to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel at this: 22 Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and ye circumcise a man on the sabbath day; away. 23 if, then, a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, i. e. cutting that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angred at me, because I have made a man altogether whole on the sabbath day? 24 judge not according to appearance, but judge a just judgment. 25 Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26 yet, behold, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him have the rulers, indeed, acknowledged that this is the Christ? : 27 nevertheless, we know from whence this man is; but when Christ cometh, no one will know from whence he is. |
