Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."

And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

"Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.

For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"

Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"

Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we do not know where he comes from."
