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.

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

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

And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmur for this, said to them, Does this offend you?

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.

For this [reason] many of his disciples {drew back} and were not walking with him any longer.

Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Now it was almost time for the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles [Note: This was also called "Festival of Shelters," and was one of three principal, annual Jewish festivals and commemorated the occasion of the Israelites living in tents or shelters during their forty year wandering in the desert].

Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.

For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

For even his brethren did not believe on him.

but Jesus said to them, my time is not yet come: but any time is equally proper for you.

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

do you go up to this feast, as for me I do not go with you to it, because my time is not yet accomplished.

Then after saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee [i.e., for awhile longer. See next verse].

So the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and were saying, "Where is he?"

and the people were much divided about him: for some said, he is a good man: others said, not at all; but he seduces the people.

Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself.

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.

“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]?”

for what do ye attempt to kill me? the people answered, saying, you are mad: who attempts to kill you?

Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this.

For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, - not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; - and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man.

Well, if a male child undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath, to keep the law of Moses from being broken, are you angry with me for making a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

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

But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know whence he is.

but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

Then they kept on trying to arrest Him, and yet no one laid a hand on Him, for the time had not yet come.

then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me.

You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

Now on the last and greatest day of the Festival [of Tabernacles], Jesus stood up and spoke out, "If anyone is thirsty he should come to me for a drink.

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.

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

So then the officers came unto the High-priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them - For what cause, have ye not brought him?

As for these people who do not know the Law--they are cursed!"

They answered, and said unto him, "Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."

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.

So, Jesus spoke to them again [i.e., to the Jewish authorities. See 7:45], saying, "I am the light of the world. The person who becomes my follower will never live in [spiritual] darkness, but have the light of [i.e., for his] life [i.e., followers of Jesus will not live in error and sin but in truth and righteousness]."

Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

Ye judge after the flesh: I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone:

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

I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

Jesus delivered this discourse in the treasury, when he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to 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.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man [on the cross], you will know then [without any doubt] that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own authority, but I say these things just as My Father taught Me.

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 of the Jews who had now believed in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;

And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

I know that you are Abraham's descendants, and yet you are trying to kill me, because there is no room in you for my teaching.

I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the Father!"

Ye do the works of your father. Then said they to him, We have not been born of fornication; for we have one Father, God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

Wherefore ye know not my speech, for ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.

He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

"I am not possessed by a demon," Jesus answered, "but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.

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

Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

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

and his disciples propos'd to him this question, master, was it for his own sins, or for the sins of his parents, that he was born blind?

it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him.

It is necessary [for] us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!

When I am in the world, I am light for the world."

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

For it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He doesn’t keep the Sabbath!” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

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.

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

For this cause, his parents said - He is, of age, - question him.

They therefore again call'd the man that had been blind, and said to him, in the name of God tell the truth: for we know that this man is an impostor.

They said to him again: "What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

The man answered and said to them, "For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!

For we be sure that God heareth not sinners: But if any man be a worshipper of God, and do what his will is, him heareth he.

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

"If you had been blind," replied Jesus, "you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say 'We can see,' and so your sin remains.

The doorkeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

So, Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep [i.e., to enter the corral].

The thief cometh not but for to steal and kill, and destroy. I am come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.

he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.
