After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

“Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?”

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

The royal official *said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.”

They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”

Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?”

Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
