now it is not for what you have said, that we believe: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the saviour of the world, the Christ.

And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.

(tho' Jesus himself had declared, that a prophet is not honoured in his own country.)

when he was come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the feast: for they likewise went to the feast.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

The ruler said unto him, "Sir, come away or ever that my child die."

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

Then he asked them what the [exact] time was when his son began to get better. They said to him, "[It was] yesterday at seven o'clock in the morning that the fever left him." [Note: This would have been

so the father knew that it was at the very same hour, at which Jesus said to him, thy son is well. and he himself believed, and all his family.

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.

After that there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

he answered them, he that cured me said to me, take up your bed and walk.

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

And that was why the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

upon which Jesus said to them, verily, verily I say unto you, the son can do nothing of himself, except he sees the father do it: for whatever he doth, that the son does likewise.

for the father loveth the son, and sheweth him all that he himself doth: and he will shew him greater works than these, so that you will be surprized.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good,

shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation.

I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives of me, is true.

not that I need the testimony of men: but this I tell you, for your own security.

He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me.

And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

yet you will not come to me, that ye may have life.

I receive not honour from men, But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

for this I know of you, that you are not possess'd with any love for God.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!

how can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only?

don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser.

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

But if you do not believe that one's writings, how will you believe my words?"

After these [things] Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).

And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

"There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what is that among so many?"

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were sate down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

when they were filled, he said to his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.

but the sea ran high, by reason of the wind that blew hard.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

the people likewise seeing that Jesus was not in those barks, nor his disciples, went on board them, and cross'd to Capernaum in quest of Jesus.

"In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.

work not for the food which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, and which the son of man shall give unto you, for to him it is that the father, that is God, has given his credentials.

then said they to him, what shall we do, that our works may he agreeable to God?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?

Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.

for he who is descended from heaven, and gives life to the world, is the bread that is truely divine.

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

Jesus answer'd, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.

but I have already told you, that tho' you have seen me, you do not believe.

all those whom my father gives me, shall come to me; and I will not reject any that come to me.

for I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father, and mother we know? How is it then that he sayeth, I came down from heaven?"

No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life.

"I am that bread of life.

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

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

I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will 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.
