:

However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.


:

When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.


:

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”


:

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.


:

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”


:

They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”


:

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”


:

They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?


:

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”


:

Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.


:

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”


:

They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”


:

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.


:

But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.


:

All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.


:

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.


:

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.


:

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”


:

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”


:

They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”


:

Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.


:

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.


:

It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.


:

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.


:

Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.


:

I am the bread of life.


:

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.


:

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.


:

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”


:

The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”


:

Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.


:

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.


:

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.


:

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.


:

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.


:

This is the bread which came down out of heaven–not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”


:

He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.


:

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”


:

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?


:

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?


:

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.


:

But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.


:

He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”


:

At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.


:

Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”


:

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.


:

We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”


:

Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”


:

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.


:

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.


:

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.


:

His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.


:

For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”


:

For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.


:

Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.


:

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.


:

You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”


:

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.


:

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.


:

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”


:

There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”


:

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.


:

But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.


:

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”


:

Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.


:

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.


:

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.


:

Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”


:

The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”


:

Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.


:

Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.


:

If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?


:

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”


:

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?


:

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?


:

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”


:

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.


:

I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”


:

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.


:

But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”


:

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.


:

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.


:

You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”


:

The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?


:

What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?”


:

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!


:

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”


:

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.


:

Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”


:

Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?


:

Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”


:

So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.


:

Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.


:

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”


:

The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”


:

The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?


:

Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?


:

But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”


:

Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,


:

“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
