The King James Version of the Bible
Part 318
that Jesus was not there, neither his
disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for
Jesus.
6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 6:26 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.
6:27 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.
6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the
works of God? 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the
work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that
we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 6:31 Our fathers
did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from
heaven to eat.
6:32 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.
6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
giveth life unto the world.
6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
6:35 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.
6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.
6:39 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.
6:40 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.
6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
which came down from heaven.
6:42 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? 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among yourselves.
6:44 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.
6:45 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.
6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God,
he hath seen the Father.
6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
6:48 I am that bread of life.
6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may
eat thereof, and not die.
6:51 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.
6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this
man give us his flesh to eat? 6:53 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.
6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.
6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me,
and I in him.
6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so
he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
6:58 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.
6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said,
This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 6:61 When Jesus knew in
himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth
this offend you? 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend
up where he was before? 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the
flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life.
6:64 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.
6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto
me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
more with him.
6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 6:68 Then
Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life.
6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of
the living God.
6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you
is a devil? 6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he
it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk
in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
7:2 Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand.
7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into
Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
7:4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself
seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to
the world.
7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time
is alway ready.
7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of
it, that the works thereof are evil.
7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my
time is not yet full come.
7:9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the
feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
7:12 And 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.
7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple,
and taught.
7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters,
having never learned? 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine
is not mine, but his that sent me.
7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
7:18 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.
7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the
law? Why go ye about to kill me? 7:20 The people answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 7:21 Jesus answered
and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of
Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a
man.
7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of
Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a
man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 7:24 Judge not according to
the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they
seek to kill? 7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing
unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no
man knoweth whence he is.
7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know
me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that
sent me is true, whom ye know not.
7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,
because his hour was not yet come.
7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers
to take him.
7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and
then I go unto him that sent me.
7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither
ye cannot come.
7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we
shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,
and teach the Gentiles? 7:36 What manner of saying is this that he
said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither
ye cannot come? 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto
me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.) 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when
they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come
out of Galilee? 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh
of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David
was? 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on
him.
7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 7:46 The officers
answered, Never man spake like this man.
7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 7:48
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 7:49 But
this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being
one of them,) 7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and
know what he doeth? 7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou
also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no
prophet.
7:53 And every man went unto his own house.
8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
8:2 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.
8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in
adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 8:4 They say unto
him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but
what sayest thou? 8:6 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.
8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.
8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, ev
