The Spirit is what gives life; the flesh does not help at all. The truths that I have told you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not trust in me." For Jesus knew from the start who they were that did not trust in Him, and who it was that was going to betray Him.
"I am the real vine, and my Father is the cultivator. He cuts away any branch on me that stops bearing fruit, and He repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more. You are already pruned because of the teaching that I have given you.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, and yet you are trying to kill me, because there is no room in you for my teaching. I am telling you what I have seen in my Father's presence, and you are practicing what you have learned from your father." They answered Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, you must be practicing what Abraham did. read more.
But right now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that He has learned from God. Abraham never did that. You are practicing what your real father does." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God." Then Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. No, indeed, I have not come on my own authority, but He has sent me. Why is it that you misunderstand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to what I teach. You sprang from the devil, your real father, and you want to practice your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the very start, and he does not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks out of his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me. Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? But if I do tell you the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is sprung from God listens to what God says. This is why you do not listen to me: you are not sprung from God."

But Jesus cried aloud, "Whoever believes in me believes not merely in me but in Him who has sent me; and whoever sees me sees Him who has sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that no one who continues to believe in me can remain in darkness. read more.
If anyone hears my words and fails to keep them, it is not I that judge him, for I have not come to judge but to save the world. Whoever persistently rejects me and refuses to accept my teachings has something to judge him -- the very message I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you disciples so long, and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Let us see the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me? I am not saying these things on my own authority, but the Father who always remains in union with me is doing these things Himself. You must believe me, that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me, or else you must do so because of the very things that I am doing.

Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in the synagogue in capernaum
Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves. Other boats from Tiberias had landed near the place where the people ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into boats themselves and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus. read more.
So when they had crossed the sea and found Him, they asked Him, "Teacher, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, you are looking for me, not because of the wonder-works you saw, but because you ate the loaves and had plenty. Stop toiling for the food that perishes, but toil for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has given Him authority to do so." Then they asked Him, "What must we do to perform the works that God demands?" Jesus answered them, "The work that God demands of you is this, to believe in the messenger whom He has sent." So they asked Him, "What wonder-work then are you going to perform for us to see and so believe in you? What work are you going to do? Our forefathers in the desert ate the manna, as the Scripture says, 'He gave them out of heaven bread to eat.'" Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the real bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the real bread out of heaven, for the bread that God gives is what comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world." Then they said to Him, "Give us that bread always, sir!" Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never get hungry, and whoever believes in me will never get thirsty. But I have told you that, although you have seen me, yet you do not believe in me. All that my Father gives to me will come to me, and I will never, no, never reject anyone who comes to me, because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me. Now the will of Him who sent me is this, that I should lose none of all that He has given me, but should raise them to life on the last day. For it is my Father's will that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him to life on the last day." Then the Jews began to grumble about His saying, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven." And they said, "Is He not Jesus, Joseph's son, whose father and mother we know? So how can He say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?" Jesus answered them, "Stop grumbling to one another. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; then I myself will raise him to life on the last day. In the prophets it is written, 'And all men will be taught by God.' Everyone who ever listens to the Father and learns from Him will come to me. Not that anyone has ever seen the Father, except Him who is from God; of course, He has seen the Father. I most solemnly say to you, whoever believes in me possesses eternal life. I am the bread that gives life. Your forefathers in the desert ate the manna, and yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat it and never die. I am this living bread that has come down out of heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my own flesh." But the Jews kept on wrangling with one another and saying, "How can He give us His flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in you. Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood already possesses eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood continues to live in union with me and I in union with him. Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so whoever keeps on eating me will live because of me. This is the bread that comes down out of heaven; not as your forefathers ate the manna, and yet died. Whoever continues to eat this bread will live forever." He said this as He taught in the synagogue at Capernaum. So many of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This teaching is hard to take in. Who can listen to it?" But as Jesus naturally knew that His disciples were grumbling about this, He said to them, "Is this shocking to you? Suppose you were to see the Son of Man going back where He was before? The Spirit is what gives life; the flesh does not help at all. The truths that I have told you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not trust in me." For Jesus knew from the start who they were that did not trust in Him, and who it was that was going to betray Him. So He continued, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless it is granted to him by my Father."
So when they had crossed the sea and found Him, they asked Him, "Teacher, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, you are looking for me, not because of the wonder-works you saw, but because you ate the loaves and had plenty. Stop toiling for the food that perishes, but toil for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has given Him authority to do so."
