The Jews persecute Jesus.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and e! knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him. Wilt thou be made whole?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I haveƒ no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, g take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And inimediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked and on h the same day was the sabbath.

10 T The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath-day: i it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

JOHN, V.

A. D. 30.

The resurrection foretold

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the 'Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

21 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He u that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed v from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead w shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life x in himself;

27 And hath given him authorityy to execute judgment also, because

13 And he that was healed wist k not who it was: for Jesus had con

veyed himself away, 2a multi- ch.11.25. tude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sinm no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

17 But Jesus answered them, My n Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill o him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making p himself equal with God. 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, q The Son can do nothing

of himself, but what he seeth the Father do for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 Forr the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even s so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

He walketh on the sea.

12 When they were filled, c he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing d 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 e 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.

7 Philip answered him, Twob 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

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias, nigh unto the i 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 1 Labour not for the meat

Christ declareth himself which perisheth, but for that k Tueat 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 m is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto him, What sign n showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fatherso did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, p 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 q father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of Godr 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 s that cometh to me shall never hunger; and het that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, that ye u also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to ine; and him w 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 a the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will y 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.

to be the bread of life.

45 It is written d in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every mane therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

46 Not ƒ that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, g he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, h He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

48 Ii am that bread of life.

49 Your fathers did eat manna m the wilderness, and k are dead.

50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and I 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, m which I will give for the life n of the world.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How o can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except p ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

51 Whoso q 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, r and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth's my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelletht 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 v 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 Caper

naum.

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 w 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.

5 For neither did his brethren b believe in him.

11 Then e the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?!

12 And f there was much murmuring among the people concerning him for some said, He is a good man others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

11 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15 And g the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man í letters, having never learned?

16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not h mine, but his that sent me.

17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of

myself.

18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that / seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true,and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Did not Moses m give you the law, and yet none n of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill o me?

20 The people answered and said, p Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

22 Moses q therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but r of the fathers ;) and ye on the sabbath-day circumcise a

man.

23 If a man on the sabbath-day receive circumcision, 2 that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because s Í have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath-day?

21 Judge t not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do u the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

27 Howbeit v we know this man. whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

23 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am : and w I am not come of myself, but he that sent me r is true, whom y ye know not.

32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

31 Yed shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

CHAPTER VIII.

1 Christ delivereth a woman taken in adultery: 21 he preacheth himself the light of the world, and justifieth his doctrine.

JESUS went unto the mount of

Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him: and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now a Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself. and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, b let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers! hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn c thee: go, and sind no

more.

12 T Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, Ie am the light of the world: he that ƒ followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thoug bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of my
