22 On the morrow, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there but one, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples went away alone (23 yet there came boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, when the Lord had given thanks); 24 when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily; verily, I say to you, ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that abides unto eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for him the Father, God, has sealed. 28 They said therefore to him, What are we to do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he sent. 30 They said therefore to him, What sign doest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? What dost thou work? 31 Our. fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. 32 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world. 34 They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He that comes to me shall not hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you,

that ye have even seen me, and do not believe. that the Father gives me will come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 Because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who beholds the Son, and believes on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. 41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he say now, I have come down out of heaven? 43 Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me. 46 Not that any one has seen the Father, save he who is from God, he has seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it, and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he will live forever; yea, and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. 54 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eats me, he also shall live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard it, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, Is this a stumbling block to you? 62 What then if ye behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that would betray him. 65 And he said, For this cause I have said to you, that no one can come to me, unless it be given him from the Father. 66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, Do ye also wish to go away? 68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall wego? Thou hast words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and know, that thou art the Holy One of God. 70 Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil? But he was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot; for he it was that was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.

VII. And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judæa, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou doest. For no one does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world. For even his brothers did not believe on him. Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to the feast. I go not up to this feast; because my time is not yet fully come. Having said these things to them, he abode in Galilee.

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret. "The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he leads the multitude astray. 13 Yet no one spoke openly concerning him, for fear of the Jews.

14 But when it was already the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and was teaching. 15 The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If any one wishes to do his will, he shall know concerning the teaching,

whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him who sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me? 20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon; who seeks to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all wonder. 22 For this cause has Moses given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I made a whole man well on the sabbath? 24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge the righteous judgment.

25 Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26 And, lo, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers come to know in truth that this is the Christ? 27 Yet we know this man, whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. 28 Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29 I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me. 30 They sought therefore to seize him; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 But of the multitude many believed on him, and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?

32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him. 33 Jesus
