John 6:36 Themes and Topics

But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Verse Concepts

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more. But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed. Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee: even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah. read more.
I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was. I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept. Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me. I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth. And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: read more.
and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand.

They knew not that he spake to them of the Father. read more.
Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.

Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God. Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son. read more.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me. These things have I spoken to you, while I continue among you. read more.
But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have spoken to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be agitated, nor shrink back through fear. Ye have heard that I told you, I am going away, though I am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I am going to the Father: because my Father is greater than I. And now I have informed you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. I shall not speak many things more with you: for the ruler of this world is coming, though in me he hath no part. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father hath given me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me: thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin: read more.
then I said, Here am I; (in the volume of the book it is written of me) I come to do thy will, O God." Having said before that sacrifice, and oblation, and whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou hast not chosen, nor takest pleasure in, (which are offered according to the law,) he then added, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He abolishes the first that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.

Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:

But to every one of us hath the grace been given, according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore the Scripture saith, "When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." Now this, that he ascended, what does it imply? but that he also first descended into the more internal parts of the earth? read more.
He that descended is the same also, who ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone; (but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:) then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus. read more.
And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus replied to them and said, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent. Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more. But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed. Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven? Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And "they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity. These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it? Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you? What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly? The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him. And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.
