manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the 50
bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man
may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread 51
which came 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, say- 52
ing, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say 53
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath 54
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is 1meat indeed, and my blood is 2drink 55
indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my 56
blood abideth in me, and I in him. As the living 57
Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so
he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.
This is the bread which came down out of heaven: 58
not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth
this bread shall live for ever. These things said he 59
in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard 60 this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples mur- 61 mured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble ? What then if ye should behold the Son of 62 man ascending where he was before? It is the spirit 63 that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life. But there are some of you that believe not. Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him. And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, 65 that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

For 64

disciples went back, and 66 Jesus said therefore unto 67 go away? Simon Peter 68

Jesus

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

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee for he would not walk in Judæa, because the Jews sought 2 to kill him. Now the feast of the Jews, the feast 3 of tabernacles, was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou 4 doest. For no man doeth anything in secret, 1and 1 Some himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest authorities 5 these things, manifest thyself to the world.

10 But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in 11 secret. The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, 12 and said, Where is he? And there was much mur

muring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he 13 leadeth the multitude astray. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus 15 went up into the temple, and taught. The Jews

therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man 16 letters, having never learned? Jesus therefore an

Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not 25 this he whom they seek to kill? And lo, he speaketh 26 openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when 27 the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is. Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and 28 saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. I know him; because I 29 am from him, and he sent me. They sought there- 30 fore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come. But of the 31 multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done? The Pharisees 32 heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him. Jesus therefore said, Yet a little 33 while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I 34 am, ye cannot come. The Jews therefore said among 35 themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is this word 36 that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come ?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, 37 Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let

38 him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall 39 flow rivers of 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 Jesus 1 Some 40 was not yet glorified. Some of the multitude there- authorities fore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a read for the Holy Spirit 41 truth the prophet.

cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, 43 the village where David was? So there arose a di44 vision in the multitude because of him. And some

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, Never man SO 47 spake. The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are 48 ye also led astray? Hath any of the rulers believed 49 on him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude 50 which knoweth not the law are accursed.

saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one 51 of them), Doth our law judge a man, except it first 52 hear from himself and know what he doeth?

And early authorities in the morning he came again into the temple, and all omit John the people came unto him; and he sat down, and 11. Those 3 taught them. And the scribes and the Pharisees which conbring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her much from 4 in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman 4 Or, Teacher 5 hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what

But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. But when they continued asking him, he 7 lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and with 8 his finger wrote on the ground. And they, when 9 they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, 10 Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus 11 said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, 12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto 13 him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Even 14 if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. Ye judge after 15 the flesh; I judge no man. Yea and if I judge, my 16 judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. Yea and in your law it is written, 17 that the witness of two men is true. I am he that 18 beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. They said therefore unto him, 19 Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. These words spake he in the 20 treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and 21 ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. The Jews therefore said, Will 22 he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot
