This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

At that, the Jews argued among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

"In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink: he that feedeth on my flesh and drinketh my blood,

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

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

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

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

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

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Simon Peter answered Him, "To whom can we go, Lord? You have the message that gives eternal life,

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

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

After that Jesus went about into Galilee, and would not go about in Jewry, for the Jews sought to kill him.

and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --

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

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.

For even Jesus' [half-] brothers did not believe in Him [i.e., at that time].

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

That was what he told them, and he stayed on in Galilee.

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'

And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] without formal training?”

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

If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

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

“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law. Why do you want to kill Me [for not keeping it]?”

Jesus answered them, I perform'd one single miracle on the sabbath, and does that alarm you?

Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

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?

Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just."

At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed: "Is not this the man that they are seeking to put to death?

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

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.

I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his Messenger."

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- 'The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

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 teach the Gentiles?

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

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

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

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

so that the people were divided in their opinions about him.

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like that!"

Is it not true that not any of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed into him?

But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

Search and see, that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went to his own house.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's offspring:

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

"Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? because ye cannot hear my word.

You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.

But it is because I speak the truth that you don't believe me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death."

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you -- speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

"In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am."

They took up therefore stones that they might cast them at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.

AND passing by he saw a man that was blind from birth;

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
