So Jesus spoke; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said: "Father, the time has now come; glorify thy Son that thy Son may glorify thee, since thou hast granted him power over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given to him. And this is eternal life, that they know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou hast sent, even Jesus Christ. read more.
I have glorified thee on earth by accomplishing the work thou gavest me to do; now, Father, glorify me in thy presence with the glory which I enjoyed in thy presence before the world began. I have made thy Name known to the men whom thou hast given to me from the world (thine they were, and thou gavest them to me), and they have held to thy word. They know now that whatever thou hast given me comes from thee, for I have given them the words thou gavest me, and they have received them; they are now sure that I came from thee and believe that thou didst send me. I pray for them ??not for the world but for those whom thou hast given me do I pray; for they are thine (all mine is thine and thine is mine), and I am glorified in them. I am to be in the world no longer, but they are to be in the world; I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one. When I was with them, I kept them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me; I guarded them, and not one of them perished ??only the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee (I speak thus in the world that they may have my joy complete within them). I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I pray not that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them by thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, so have I sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself that they may be consecrated by the truth. Nor do I pray for them alone, but for all who believe in me by their spoken word; may they all be one! As thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, so may they be in us ??that the world may believe thou hast sent me. Yea, I have given them the glory thou gavest me, that they may be one as we are one ??23 I in them and thou in me ??that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Father, it is my will that these, thy gift to me, may be beside me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me, because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O just Father, though the world has not known thee, I have known thee, and they have known that thou hast sent me; so have I declared, so will I declare, thy Name to them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."


Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will never be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty again. But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe. All those will come to me who are the Father's gift to me, and never will I reject one of them; read more.
for I have come down from heaven not to carry out my own will but the will of him who sent me, and the will of him who sent me is that I lose none of those who are his gift to me, but that I raise them all up on the last day.

Jesus replied, "I have told you, but you do not believe; the deeds I do in the name of my Father testify to me, but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me; read more.
and I give them eternal life; they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who gave me them is stronger than all, and no one can snatch anything out of the Father's hand.

Next day the crowd which had been left standing on the other side of the sea bethought them that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, who had left by themselves. So, as some boats from Tiberias had put in near the spot where they had eaten bread after the Lord's thanksgiving, and as the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they embarked in the boats themselves and made for Capharnahum in search of Jesus. read more.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly I tell you, it is not because you saw Signs that you are in quest of me, but because you ate these loaves and had your fill. Work for no perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life; the Son of man will give you that, for the Father, God, has certified him." Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?" Jesus replied to them, "This is the work of God, to believe in him whom God has sent." "Well then," they said, "what is the Sign you perform, that we may see it and believe you? What work have you to show? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert: as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." "Ah, sir," they said to him, "give us that bread always." Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will never be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty again. But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe. All those will come to me who are the Father's gift to me, and never will I reject one of them; for I have come down from heaven not to carry out my own will but the will of him who sent me, and the will of him who sent me is that I lose none of those who are his gift to me, but that I raise them all up on the last day. It is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should possess eternal life, and that I should raise him up on the last day." Now the Jews murmured at him for saying, "I am the bread which has come down from heaven." They said, "Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he claim now, 'I have come down from heaven'?" Jesus replied to them, "Stop murmuring to yourselves. No one is able to come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me (and I will raise him up on the last day). In the prophets it is written, and they will be all instructed by God; everyone who has listened to the Father and learned from him, comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father ??he only, who is from God, he has seen the Father. Truly, truly I tell you, the believer has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died; the bread that comes down from heaven is such that one eats of it and never dies. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and more, the bread I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world." The Jews then wrangled with one another, saying, "How can he give us his flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you. He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life (and I will raise him up on the last day), for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains within me, as I remain within him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live by the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live by me. Such is the bread which has come down from heaven: your ancestors ate their bread and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live for ever." This he said as he taught in the synagogue at Capharnahum. Now many of his disciples, on hearing it, said, "This is hard to take in! Who can listen to talk like this?" Jesus, inwardly conscious that his disciples were murmuring at it, said to them, "So this upsets you? Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he formerly existed? What gives life is the Spirit: flesh is of no avail at all. The words I have uttered to you are spirit and life. And yet there are some of you who do not believe" (for Jesus knew from the very first who the unbelieving were, and who was to betray him; that was why he said 'I tell you that no one is able to come to me unless he is allowed by the Father').

Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will never be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty again. But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe. All those will come to me who are the Father's gift to me, and never will I reject one of them; read more.
