I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. read more.
Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, the same hath eternal life: And I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me. This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever." These things said he in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?" Jesus knew, in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, and said unto them, "Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you are spirit and life.



What and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was before?




God, in time past, diversely and many ways, spake unto the fathers by prophets: but in these last days he hath spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath made heir of all things: by whom also he made the world.


Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; they all shall wax old as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

But unto the son he saith, "God, thy seat shall be forever, and ever. The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure. They all shall wax old as doth a garment: and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art always, and thy years shall not fail."


"The LORD himself had me in possession in the beginning of his ways, before he began his works afore time. I have been ordained from everlasting, and from the beginning before the earth was made. When I was born, there were neither depths nor springs of water. read more.
Before the foundations of the mountains were laid, yea before all hills was I born. The earth and all that is upon the earth was not yet made, no not the ground itself. For when he made the heavens, I was present; when he set up the depths in order; when he hanged the clouds above; when he fastened the springs of the deep; When he shut the sea within certain bounds, that the waters should not go over their marks. When he laid the foundations of the earth, I was with him, ordering all things, delighting daily, and rejoicing always before him. As for the round compass of his world, I make it joyful: for my delight is to be among the children of men. "Therefore hearken unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep my ways. O give ear unto nurture, be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, and giving attendance at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me, findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But whoso offendeth against me, hurteth his own soul. All they that hate me, are the lovers of death."

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God: and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it was made no thing, that was made.

Your father Abraham was glad to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced." Then said the Jews unto him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you: Yer Abraham was, I am."

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus: Which, being in the shape of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Nevertheless, he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man.

which is the image of the invisible God, first begotten of all creatures: for by him were all things created, things that are in heaven, and things that are in earth: things visible, and things invisible: whether they be majesty or lordship, either rule or power. All things are created by him, and in him, and he is before all things, and in him all things have their being.

Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage. For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on him.

For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.


The day following, the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other ship there save that one wherein his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the ship: but that his disciples were gone away alone. Howbeit, there came other ships from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they ate bread, when the Lord had blessed. Then when the people saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping and came to Capernaum seeking for Jesus. read more.
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?" Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles: but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which meat the son of man shall give unto you. For him hath God the father sealed." Then said they unto him, "What shall we do that we might work the works of God?" Jesus answered, and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." They said unto him, "What sign showest thou, then, that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you bread from heaven: but my father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For he is the bread of God, which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world." Then said they unto him, "Lord, ever more give us this bread." And Jesus said unto them, "I am that bread of life. He that cometh to me, shall not hunger: and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye have seen me, and yet believe ye not. All that the father giveth me, shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, cast I not away. For I came down from heaven: not to do mine own will, but his will which hath sent me. And this is the father's will which hath sent me: that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me: That every man which seeth the son, and believeth on him, have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day." The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am that bread which is come down from heaven." And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father, and mother we know? How is it then that he sayeth, I came down from heaven?" Jesus answered and said unto them, "Murmur not between yourselves. No man can come to me except the father, which hath sent me, draw him. And I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, 'That they shall all be taught of God.' Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh unto me: not that any man hath seen the father, save he which is of God. The same hath seen the father. Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. "I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness: and are dead. This, is that bread which cometh from heaven: that he which of it eateth, should also not die. I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." And the Jews strove among themselves, saying, "How can this fellow give us his flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, the same hath eternal life: And I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me. This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever." These things said he in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?" Jesus knew, in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, and said unto them, "Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you are spirit and life. But there are some of you that believe not." For Jesus knew from the beginning, which 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."
