John

1 Af­ter these things Je­sus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great mul­ti­tude fol­lowed him, be­cause they saw his mir­a­cles which he did on them that were dis­eased. 3 And Je­sus went up into a moun­tain, and there he sat with his dis­ci­ples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Je­sus then lift­ed up his eyes, and saw a great com­pa­ny come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he him­self knew what he would do. 7 Philip an­swered him, Two hun­dred pen­ny­worth of bread is not suf­fi­cient for them, that ev­ery one of them may take a lit­tle. 8 One of his dis­ci­ples, An­drew, Si­mon Peter's broth­er, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five bar­ley loaves, and two small fish­es: but what are they among so many? 10 And Je­sus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in num­ber about five thou­sand. 11 And Je­sus took the loaves; and when he had giv­en thanks, he dis­tribut­ed to the dis­ci­ples, and the dis­ci­ples to them that were set down; and like­wise of the fish­es as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his dis­ci­ples, Gath­er up the frag­ments that re­main, that noth­ing be lost. 13 There­fore they gath­ered them to­geth­er, and filled twelve bas­kets with the frag­ments of the five bar­ley loaves, which re­mained over and above unto them that had eat­en. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the mir­a­cle that Je­sus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. 15 When Je­sus there­fore per­ceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he de­part­ed again into a moun­tain him­self alone. 16 And when even was now come, his dis­ci­ples went down unto the sea, 17 And en­tered into a ship, and went over the sea to­ward Ca­per­naum. And it was now dark, and Je­sus was not come to them. 18 And the sea arose by rea­son of a great wind that blew. 19 So when they had rowed about five and twen­ty or thir­ty fur­longs, they see Je­sus walk­ing on the sea, and draw­ing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 21 Then they will­ing­ly re­ceived him into the ship: and im­me­di­ate­ly the ship was at the land whith­er they went. 22 The day fol­low­ing, when the peo­ple which stood on the oth­er side of the sea saw that there was none oth­er boat there, save that one where­in­to his dis­ci­ples were en­tered, and that Je­sus went not with his dis­ci­ples into the boat, but that his dis­ci­ples were gone away alone; 23 (How­beit there came oth­er boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, af­ter that the Lord had giv­en thanks:) 24 When the peo­ple there­fore saw that Je­sus was not there, nei­ther his dis­ci­ples, they also took ship­ping, and came to Ca­per­naum, seek­ing for Je­sus. 25 And when they had found him on the oth­er side of the sea, they said unto him, Rab­bi, when camest thou hith­er? 26 Je­sus an­swered them and said, Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not be­cause ye saw the mir­a­cles, but be­cause ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which per­isheth, but for that meat which en­dureth unto ev­er­last­ing life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Fa­ther sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Je­sus an­swered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye be­lieve on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said there­fore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and be­lieve thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fa­thers did eat man­na in the desert; as it is writ­ten, He gave them bread from heav­en to eat. 32 Then Je­sus said unto them, Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heav­en; but my Fa­ther giveth you the true bread from heav­en. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heav­en, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, ev­er­more give us this bread. 35 And Je­sus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall nev­er hunger; and he that be­lieveth on me shall nev­er thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and be­lieve not. 37 All that the Fa­ther giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heav­en, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath giv­en me I should lose noth­ing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that ev­ery one which seeth the Son, and be­lieveth on him, may have ev­er­last­ing life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 The Jews then 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 saith, I came down from heav­en? 43 Je­sus there­fore an­swered and said unto them, Mur­mur not among your­selves. 44 No man can come to me, ex­cept the Fa­ther which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is writ­ten in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Ev­ery man there­fore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Fa­ther, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Fa­ther, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Fa­ther. 47 Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto you, He that be­lieveth on me hath ev­er­last­ing life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fa­thers did eat man­na in the wilder­ness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heav­en, that a man may eat there­of, and not die. 51 I am the liv­ing bread which came down from heav­en: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ev­er: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews there­fore strove among them­selves, say­ing, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Je­sus said unto them, Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto you, Ex­cept ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drin­keth my blood, hath eter­nal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat in­deed, and my blood is drink in­deed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drin­keth my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the liv­ing Fa­ther hath sent me, and I live by the Fa­ther: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heav­en: not as your fa­thers did eat man­na, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ev­er. 59 These things said he in the syn­a­gogue, as he taught in Ca­per­naum. 60 Many there­fore of his dis­ci­ples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard say­ing; who can hear it? 61 When Je­sus knew in him­self that his dis­ci­ples mur­mured at it, he said unto them, Doth this of­fend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man as­cend up where he was be­fore? 63 It is the spir­it that quick­eneth; the flesh prof­iteth noth­ing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spir­it, and they 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 should be­tray him. 65 And he said, There­fore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, ex­cept it were giv­en unto him of my Fa­ther. 66 From that time many of his dis­ci­ples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Je­sus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Si­mon Pe­ter an­swered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eter­nal life. 69 And we be­lieve and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the liv­ing God. 70 Je­sus an­swered them, Have not I cho­sen you twelve, and one of you is a dev­il? 71 He spake of Ju­das Is­car­i­ot the son of Si­mon: for he it was that should be­tray him, be­ing one of the twelve.
