When he had thus spoken, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: "Father, the hour is come. Glorify the Son, that thy Son may glorify thee; since thou hast given him authority over all mankind, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. read more.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with own self, with the glory I had with thee before the world began. "I have made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. They know now that whatever thou hast given me was from thee; for I have given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send me. "I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine, and all thine are mine, and mine are thine; and I am glorified in them. 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. While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. "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. I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I dedicate myself, that they also may be thoroughly dedicated in the truth. "Nor do I pray for them alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee; that they also may be in us; in order that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me; that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou didst send me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. "Father, it is my will that wherever I am these also, thy gift to me, may be with me, that they may see the glory, my glory which thou hast given me, because thou didst love me before the foundations of the world. O righteous Father, though the world knew thee not, I have known thee, and these have known that though didst send me. And I have declared??nd will declare??hy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."


"I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again. "But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe. "Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject. read more.
"For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the last day.

Jesus answered them. "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I am doing in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me. "But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. "My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me. read more.
"I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of my hand. "My Father who has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

The crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves. So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves, when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus. read more.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled. "Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life??hat which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father??od??as set his seal." "What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?" "This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you." The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing? "Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'" "In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven; "for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world." "Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread." "I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again. "But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe. "Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject. "For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the last day. "For this is my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. and I will raise him up at the last day." Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking. "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, 'I have come down from heaven'?" "Do not find fault with me among yourselves," answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on the last day. "It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me. "Not that any one has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. "I tell you solemnly that he who believes has eternal life. "I am the bread of life. "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died. "This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and never die. "I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world." Then the Jews began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. "He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. "For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. "He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him. "Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me. "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever." He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum. So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said: "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?" Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them. "Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before? "The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life. "Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him. So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."

"I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again. "But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe. "Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject. read more.
