Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

and were saying - Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, - of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And all shall be taught of God. Every one who has heard and learned of the Father comes to me.

Not that any one hath seen the Father, but He who is from God.

Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die.

"I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when the heard this , said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and 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 it was that should betray him.

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

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

For no man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.

It is impossible for the world to hate you; it is I whom it hates, because I continue to testify that its works are wicked.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

anyone who chooses to do his will, shall understand whether my teaching comes from God or whether I am talking on my own authority.

The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

was it not Moses who gave you the law, and yet none of you observe that law?

The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.”

Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion [of Jews scattered and living] among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed: "If any one thirsts, let him come to me, and drink.

He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

(Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

Nicodemus saith unto them, (the same person who came to him by night, being one of their body,)

Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

and even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

I am one, testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.

Then they began asking him, "Who is your father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too."

That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins.”

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

The people [who heard this] did not understand that Jesus was speaking to them about the Father.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed;

Jesus answered them, I tell you most truly, that every one who commits sin is a servant of the sin.

but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this.

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

Who of you convicts me of a sin? If I say the truth, why do you not believe me?

He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

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

And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

and said, "Go and wash them in the pool of Siloam" (which means One who has been sent). So he went and washed them and went home seeing.

Then the neighbors and those who had seen him before, because he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So again they asked the man who used to be blind, "What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?" "He is a prophet," the man replied.

Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.

and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

(His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him.

We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.

Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born.

He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them.

I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security).

But the hired servant, and one who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes and scatters them;
