Then Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

and were saying - Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, - of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?

No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

[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 who came down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. Yes, and the bread that I will give [him] is my physical body, [so] that the world can have [never ending] life."

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, he also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Now he spoke of Judas the son of Simon, Iscariote, for he it was who should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

It is impossible for the world to hate you; it is I whom it hates, because I continue to testify that its works are wicked.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

anyone who chooses to do his will, shall understand whether my teaching comes from God or whether I am talking on my own authority.

'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?"

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.”

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion [of Jews scattered and living] among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed: "If any one thirsts, let him come to me, and drink.

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?”

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

Nicodemus saith unto them -- he who came by night unto him -- being one of them,

Now the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. They made her stand in the center of the court,

However, when they persisted in questioning Him, He straightened up and said, “He who is without [any] sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

Then they began asking him, "Who is your father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too."

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.”

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

The people [who heard this] did not understand that Jesus was speaking to them about the Father.

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 who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

and said to him, "Go and wash them in the Pool of Siloam"?? name which means One who has been sent. So he went and washed them, and went home able to see.

The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

He replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared [it] on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, [and] I received sight."

They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

Then some of the Pharisees said, “This Man [Jesus] is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner (a non-observant Jew) do such signs and miracles?” So there was a difference of opinion among them.

So again they asked the man who used to be blind, "What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?" "He is a prophet," the man replied.

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, since the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.

They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him.

We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.

from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them.

I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security).

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.
