Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."

And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, -- 'He told me all things -- as many as I did.'

Then as the Samaritans had come to Him, they begged Him that He would stay with them. And He stayed there two days.

And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet is without honor in his native country.

Then as soon as he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, which had seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast. For they went also unto the feast day.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.

The royal official pleaded with Him, “Sir, do come down [at once] before my child dies!”

And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

Now one man was there, whose illness had lasted thirty-eight years.

him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

This is why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He persisted in doing such things on the Sabbath.

But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.”

This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him, for not only was He breaking the Sabbath [from their viewpoint], but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.

But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form [His majesty and greatness—what He is like].

You do not have His word (Scripture) abiding in you [actually living in your hearts and minds], because you do not believe in Him whom He has sent.

Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

And, though it is those very Scriptures that bear testimony to me, you refuse to come to me to have life.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

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

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.

Then Jesus went up to a high plateau [Note: This place, northeast of Lake Galilee, is called "The Golan Heights," today] and sat down there with His disciples.

for it was just before the passover, which is a feast of the Jews.

Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

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

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

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

And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

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

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost."

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

And as a strong wind was blowing, the waves ran high.

And when the disciples had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the [surface of the] water. They became afraid as Jesus got closer to their boat.

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

Then as soon as they consented to take him into the boat, the boat was at the shore they had been trying to reach.

So, as some boats from Tiberias had put in near the spot where they had eaten bread after the Lord's thanksgiving,

when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

"In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"

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

"What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you *do*?

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

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

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

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

And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

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

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 one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may 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 saith, I came down from heaven?

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all 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, he hath seen the Father.

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

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

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.

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

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
