The Life of Jesus

It is the spirit that giveth life; 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. For 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, 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 him.

Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and 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 to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast 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 doest.

For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

For even his brethren did not believe on him.

Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.

And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

Yet 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 temple, and taught.

The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
