I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

But the testimony I receive is not from man [a merely human witness]; but I say these things so that you may be saved [that is, have eternal life].

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him.

"You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward Him, and He said to Philip, “Where will we buy bread for these people to eat?”

But He said this to test Philip, because He knew what He was about to do.

"Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down [to eat].” Now [the ground] there was [covered with] an abundance of grass, so the men sat down, about 5,000 in number.

When they had eaten enough, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.”

The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.

When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.

Jesus replied to them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were completely satisfied.

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

"This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."

So they said to Him, “What sign (attesting miracle) will You do that we may see it and believe You? What [supernatural] work will You do [as proof]?

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

Jesus replied to them, “I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].

But as I have told you, although you have seen me, you will not believe.

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

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

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

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

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me has eternal life.

[But] this is the bread that has come down from heaven [i.e., Jesus is referring to Himself], so that a person who eats of it [i.e., believes in Jesus] will not die [spiritually].

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

He said these things in a synagogue while He was teaching in Capernaum.

What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?

The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

Upon [hearing] this, many of Jesus' disciples turned back and refused to accompany Him anymore. [Note: They deserted Jesus physically as well as spiritually].

Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

Simon Peter answered, “Lord, who will we go to? You have the words of eternal life.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose [all] twelve of you, and one of you is a devil?" [Note: The word "devil" means "adversary" or "opponent"].

His brothers said to him: "Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.

For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

Go ye up unto this feast. I will not go up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come."

And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

he that speaks from himself, has a view to his own glory: but he that has a view to his glory that sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to all imposture.

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, it came from your ancestors), and you will circumcise a man upon the sabbath.

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”

Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

Does the Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

The Pharisees retorted, "Are you misled as well?

They responded, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [and read the Scriptures], and see [for yourself] that no prophet comes from Galilee!”

Then all of them went to their own homes.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

And while they continued asking him, he lifted himself up; And said unto them, "Let him that is among you without sin, cast the first stone at her."

They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.

She replied, "No sir, no one did." Then Jesus said, "[Well], I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on, do not sin anymore."}}

Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Jesus said these things in the treasury, as He taught in the temple [courtyard]; and no one seized Him, because His time had not yet come.

therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins.”

"You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.

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."

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

[While] he was saying these [things], many believed in him.

Jesus said therefore to those Jews who believed on him, if you adhere to my doctrine, then will you be my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth,

And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].”

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone. What do You mean by saying, ‘You will be set free’?”

Jesus answered them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

Now the slave does not remain in the household for all time; the son of the house does.

So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.

I know that you people are [all] descendants of Abraham; yet you are trying to kill me because you will not allow my message to affect you.

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 are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.

But because I tell the truth you will not believe me.

The person who belongs to God listens to the message from God. The reason you will not listen to it is because you do not belong to God."
