The Life of Jesus

He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

I receive not glory from men.

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.

I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which isthe seaof Tiberias.

And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?

Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in 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.

And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
