And from the cloud came a voice which said--"This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear."

The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.

But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.

When James and John saw this, they said: "Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?"

And Jesus replied: "I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.

At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: "I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.

Some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the 'blood' of all the prophets 'that has been spilt' since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation--

For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.

And he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.

When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: "Woman, you are released from your weakness."

"You hypocrites!" the Master answered him. "Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?

But from this hour 'the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.'"

At this they exclaimed: "Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"

And they began to accuse him: "This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is 'Christ, a King.'"

And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.

All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.

And, on returning from the tomb, they told all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.

He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from Heaven is above all others.

"How is it," replied the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!"

Upon this the Jews began murmuring against Jesus for saying-- 'I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.'

"Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son," they asked, "whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?"

It is said in the Prophets--'And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Not that any one has seen the Father, except him who is from God--he has seen the Father.

The Bread that comes down from Heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.

I am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world."

That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven--not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever."

When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?

Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from."
