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

I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall 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?”

Then said Jesus unto them, I tell you truly, that unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye 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 abideth in me, and I in him.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.

This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?

It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are 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.

And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.

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

And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, 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.

But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.

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

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

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 its works are evil.

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

The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying - Where is that one?

and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

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.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching 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 from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him 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 receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?

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

Then some that belong'd to Jerusalem, said, is not this he whom they seek to kill?

And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

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 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 hearkened unto the multitude murmuring concerning him these things; and the High-priests and the Pharisees sent forth officers, that they might seize him.

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

The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village 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 him before, 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.

In the law, Moses commanded us that such should be stoned; what therefore do you say?

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

But 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.

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

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

Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

I am he that beareth 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 except ye believe that I am he , ye shall 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 many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

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

Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to 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 seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made 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: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do what 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 heard from 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 the desires of your father you will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and stood not by the truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own; for he is a liar, and the father of him [that lies].

"But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not 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 the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

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

"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one obeys my teaching he shall never behold death."

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, 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 glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.

Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.

Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.

They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.

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

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

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