(3 porches. In these lay a multitude of them that were sick', blind, halt, with5) ered1. And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight 6 years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw him lying', and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be 7 made whole? The sick man answered him, Sir, I have 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, 'Arise', take *9) up thy bed, and walk. And 'straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked.

Now it was the sabbath on 'that' * 10 day. So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, land' it is not lawful for thee to take * 11 up thy bed. But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and *(12) walk. They asked him, "Who is

Ithe man that said unto thee, Take 13 up thy bed, and walk? But he that

was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a 14 multitude being in the place. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a 15 worse thing 'befall thee. The man

Iwent away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole. (16 And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he 'did' these 17 things on the sabbath. But Jesus

answered them, My Father worketh 18 leven until now, and I work. For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also Icalled God his own' Father, making himself equal with God. 19) Jesus 'therefore answered and said unto them,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing": for

what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. 20) For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel. (21 °For as the Father raiseth the dead

and quickeneth them, even so the Son 22 also quickeneth whom he will. °For Ineither doth the Father judge any! man, but he hath 'given' all judge(23 ment unto the Son; that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.' He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father (24 which sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath leternal life, and cometh not into judgement', but 'hath passed 25 out of death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour 'cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: 26 and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself, 'even' so gave he to the Son also to have *(27 life in himself: and he gave him authority to execute judgement, be(28 cause he is the Son of man. °Marvel not at this: for the hour 'cometh', in which all that are in the tombs *29 shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgement'.

I can of 'myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that' 31 sent me.

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Gali2 lee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which 3 he did on them that were sick!. And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 Now the passover, 'the' feast of the 5 Jews, was at hand. Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and 'seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence lare! we to buy bread, that these may 6 eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would (7 do. Philip answered him, Two hun

dred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may 8 take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith (9 unto him, °There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? (10 Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in (11 number about five thousand. Jesus therefore took the loaves; and 'having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would. 12 And when they were filled, he 'saith' unto his disciples, Gather up the 'broken pieces which remain lover', (13 that nothing be lost. So they gathered them 'up', and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained 14) over unto them that had eaten. When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that 'cometh' into the world.

(15

Jesus therefore perceiving! that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, 'withdrew again into 'the mountain himself alone.

16 And when 'evening came', his dis17 ciples went down unto the sea; and 'they' entered into a 'boat', and 'were going over the sea lunto' Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had 18 not yet' come to them. And the sea

Iwas rising by reason of a great wind 19 that blew. When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold' Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat and they were afraid. 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be 21 not afraid. "They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat! : and 'straightway the boat' was at the land whither they were going".

lentered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went! (23 away alone (howbeit there came 1boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they late the bread after (24 the Lord had given thanks): when the multitudel therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the 1boats, and came to Capernaum, seek(25 ing Jesus. And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest 26 thou hither?

Work' not for the meat which perisheth, but for Ithe meat which abideth unto leternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, 28) even God, hath sealed. They said

therefore unto him, What 'must' we do, that we may work the works of 29 God? 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 then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what 31 workest thou? Our fathers late the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread 'out of 32) heaven to eat. Jesus 'therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread 33 out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which cometh down lout of heaven, and giveth life unto the 34) world. They said therefore unto

him, Lord, evermore give us this, (35 bread. Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. (36 But I said unto you, that ye have' 37 seen me, and yet believe not. All

that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast 38 out. For I am come down from

heaven, not to do mine own will, but (39 the will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that' which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should 40 raise it up at the last day. For this is the will of my Father', that every one that beholdeth 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 Iconcerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down lout 42 of heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how 'doth' he now say', I am come down (43 out of heaven? Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not (44 among yourselves. "No man

can

come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him: and I will raise 45) him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every lone that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the

Father, save he which is 'from God, (47 he hath seen the Father. Verily,

verily, I say unto you, He that be48 lieveth hath leternal life. I am the 49 bread of life. Your fathers did eat

the manna in the wilderness, and 50 they died. This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. (51 I am the living bread which came

52

down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore strove 'one with another, saying, How can this man 53 give us his flesh to eat? °Jesus

therefore 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 not life in your54 selves!. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the 55 last day. For my flesh is meat

naum.

(60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a 61 hard saying; who can hear it? But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at 'this', said unto them, Doth this 'cause you to stum62 ble? What then if ye 'should behold the Son of man 'ascending' where (63 he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken 64 unto you are spirit, and are life.

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 should betray him. 65) And he said, 'For this cause havel I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it 'be' given unto him of the Father.

Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with 67) him. Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? (68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the (69 words of eternal life. And we have believed' and 'know' that thou art the 70 Holy One of God. Jesus answered

them, 'Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71) Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy (4 works which thou doest. For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou 'doest' these things, manifest' 5) thyself to the world. For even his brethren did not believe on him. 6 Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your 7 time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works *8 are evil. °Go ye up unto 'the' feast:

I go not up yet unto this feast; 'because my time is not yet fulfilled'. 9 And having said these 'things' unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

10)

But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. 11 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, 'Not so', but he 'leadeth' 13 the multitude astray. °Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the tem15 ple, and taught. The Jews thereforel marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus therefore answered them, and

said, My teaching is not mine, but 17 his that sent me. If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unright19 eousness is in him.

give you the law, and yet none of you idoeth the law? Why seek ye to (20 kill me? The 'multitudel answered,

Now on the last day, the great

day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come *38 unto me, and drink. He that believ

eth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of (39 living water. But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the

Spirit was not yet given; because 40) Jesus was not yet glorified. Somet of the multitudel therefore, when they heard these words', said, This is of a 41 truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, 'What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee? 42) Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village! 43 where David was? So there larosel a division in the multitude! because 44 of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

45) The officers 'therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not 46 bring him? The officers answered, 47) Never man so spake. The Phari

sees therefore answered them, Are 48) ye also led astray'? Hath any of

the rulers believed on him, or of the 49 Pharisees? But this 'multitude which knoweth not the law are accursed'. 50 °Nicodemus saith unto them (he that
