other, and seek not the honour that is from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye hope.

46 For had ye believed Moses, it may be ye would have believed me also: for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

VI1 After these things Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude was following him, because they had seen the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

3 Jesus went up therefore into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, saying, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are they among so many people?

10 Jesus then said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. And so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

II Jesus then took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 And when they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that they be not wasted. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments from the five barley loaves, which had remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that he did, said, This is of a truth the Prophet that should come into the world.

15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

16 And when evening was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

17 And entered into a ship, and came over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not yet come to them.

18 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

21 Then they willingly received

him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

22 The day following, when the people, which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other boat there, save that one, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples in the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

23 Howbeit there were other boats which came from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, after the Lord had given thanks:

24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26 Jesus answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the signs and wonders, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you for him hath God the Father sealed.

28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 The Lord Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that

we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32 Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto this world.

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you that ye have both seen me, and disbelieved

me.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which the Father hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me, that every one which hath seen the Son, and believed on him, have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

42 And they said, Is not this the

son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then doth he now say, I came down from heaven?

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father, which hath sent me, and the Holy Spirit draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, let him come unto me.

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 But this is the bread which cometh down from heaven, and they that eat thereof shall not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: they that eat of this bread shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give for every life is my flesh.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall have no life in you.

54 He that doth eat my flesh, and drink my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that doth eat my flesh, and drink my blood, doth dwell in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live for the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live for me.

58 This is the bread which came down from heaven: I am not as the manna which your fathers did eat and are dead: for he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Caper

naum.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, Isaid, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

61 And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said unto them, Doth this offend you?

62 What then if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth the flesh; for the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed, and who it was that should betray him.

65 And he said to them, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

66 After this many of his disciples

went back, and walked no more with him.

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Do ye also wish to go away?

68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

69 And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is the devil?

71 Now he spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, although he was one of the twelve.

VII1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou doest.

4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go

not up unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

9 When he had said these words, he abode still in Galilee.

10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

II Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: but others said, Nay; for he deceiveth the people.

13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

16 Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

17 If any man is willing with all his will, he shall know by my teaching, whether I speak from God, or from myself.

18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel therefore.

22 Moses gave unto you circum

cision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

26 And, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers acknowledge indeed that this is the Christ?

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am : and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

32 Now the Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the rulers and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.

33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,

and then I go unto him that sent

me.

34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.

35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and will he teach the Gentiles?

36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come?

37 In the last and great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38 And, He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

40 From that time the people therefore, having heard these sayings, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

42 Doth not the scripture say that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
