And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

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.

Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

I am the bread of life.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

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.

Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.

And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.

But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

You have no part in this business, because your heart is not right before God.

And when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he went on to take Peter in addition. This was at the time of the feast of unleavened bread.

And we went away from Philippi by ship after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; and we were there for seven days.

And when he had gone up, and had taken the broken bread, he went on talking to them for a long time, even till dawn, and then he went away.

Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

You who take pride in the law, are you doing wrong to the honour of God by behaviour which is against the law?

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.

And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame?

And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?

Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.

So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.

Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.

God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?

Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

This pride of yours is not good. Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

And if they were all one part, where would the body be?

And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.
