6 the infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to put me into the bath; but while I am going, another goeth down before me :

7 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk : 8 and immediately the man was restored, and took up his bed, and walked and on that day was the sabbath.

9 The Jews therefore said to him who had been cured, It is the sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed:

10 but he answered them, He who made me well, said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk :

11 then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

12 but he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, on account of the multitude which was in that place.

13 Afterward, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well: sin no more, lest something worse happen to thee:

14 the man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well:

15 and for this cause the Jews sought out Jesus, because he had done these things on a sabbath day.

16 But he answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and now, I work :

17 wherefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

18 He answered therefore and said to them, Verily, verily, I tell The Son can do noyou, thing of himself, unless he see the Father do it: but, whatever things he doeth, these the Son doeth likewise;

19 for, the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth; and will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel: 20 for, as the Father raiseth and giveth life to the dead; so also the Son giveth life to whom he will:

21 for neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;

Philip. ii. 6.

22 that all should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. 23 Verily, verily, I tell you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath eternal life; and cometh c. xi. 25, 26. not to judgment, but passeth Rev. xx. 5. from death into life.

24 Verily, verily, I tell you,

willing for a time to rejoice in his light;

35 but I have greater testimony than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves that I do, bear testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

36 And the Father, who hath sent me, hath himself borne witness of me.

37 Ye have never heard his voice, nor seen his form: and ye have not his word abiding in you; for ye believe not in him whom he hath sent.

38 Search the scriptures; for by them ye think to have eternal life and they are they which testify of me:

39 yet ye will not come to Luke, xiii. 35. me, that ye may have life.

40 I receive not honour from

men:

41 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

42 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive :

43 how can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

44 Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuseth you to the Father, even Moses, in whom ye trust:

45 for, if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me :

Luke, xvi. 31. 46 but, if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

CHAPTER VI.

10 and there was much grass in the place: so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

and a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

3 And Jesus went up to a mountain, and sat there with his disciples:

4 and the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus, therefore, lifted up his eyes, and saw that a great multitude was coming to him, he saith to Philip, From whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 and this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, if each should take but a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him,

9 Here is a lad that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among

that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces that remain, that nothing be lost :

13 they gathered them together, therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten :

14 then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the world!

15 Then Jesus, knowing that they were coming to take him by force and make him a king, departed again to the mountain, himself alone:

16 and when it was evening, his disciples went down to the

sea;

17 and entering into a ship, they went over the sea toward Capernaum: and it was then dark, and Jesus had not come to them:

18 and the sea was raised, by a violent wind that blew :

19 and when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid :

ye eat of the loaves, and were
satisfied:

21 then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.

22 On the following day, the multitude which had stood on the other side of the sea, and saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus went not into that boat with his disciples, but that his disciples went away alone;

23 (but boats had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they had eaten the bread, after the Lord had given thanks ;)

24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they entered into those boats, and went to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus:

25 and when they 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 tell you, Ye seek me, not because ye

28 Then they said to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said to them, The work of God is this; that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore to him, What sign shewest thou, then, that we may see, and believe thee; what dost thou work?

31 our fathers eat the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from Ps.lxxviii. 24. "heaven to eat :"

32 then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I tell you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven: 33 for, the bread of God is he' who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world:

34 then they said to him, Lord, give us always that bread :

35 and Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who cometh to me, will never hunger; and he who believeth on me, will never thirst:

36 but I told you, That

though ye have seen me, yet that hath heard and learned

ye believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me, will come to me; and him who cometh to me, I will not cast out;

38 for I came 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 that he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day :

40 for, this is the will of him who sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews, therefore, murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven:

42 and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it, then, that he now saith, I came down from heaven?

43 Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves :

44 no one can come to me, unless the Father, who hath sent me, draw him and him I will raise up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be

46 not that any one hath seen the Father; save he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.

47 Verily, verily, I tell you, He who believeth, hath eternal life: I am the bread of life:

48 your fathers eat the manna in the wilderness, and are dead: 49 the bread which cometh down from heaven, is that of which if any one eat, he will not die.

50 I am the living bread, that have come down from heaven : if any one eat of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world, is my flesh:

51 the Jews, therefore, contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

52 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I tell you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you:

53 he who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day:

54 for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed: 55 he who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him:
