The Life of Jesus

Then they gathered it together, and filled twelue baskets with the broken meat of the fiue barly loaues, which remained vnto them that had eaten.

Then the men, when they had seene the miracle that Iesus did, saide, This is of a trueth that Prophet that should come into the world.

When Iesus therfore perceiued that they would come, and take him to make him a King, hee departed againe into a mountaine himselfe alone.

When euen was nowe come, his disciples went downe vnto the sea,

And entred into a shippe, and went ouer the sea, towardes Capernaum: and nowe it was darke, and Iesus was not come to them.

And the Sea arose with a great winde that blewe.

And when they had rowed about fiue and twentie, or thirtie furlongs, they sawe Iesus walking on the sea, and drawing neere vnto the ship: so they were afraide.

But he said vnto them, It is I: be not afraid.

Then willingly they receiued him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the lande, whither they went.

The day following, the people which stoode on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other ship there, saue that one, whereinto his disciples were entred, and that Iesus went not with his disciples in the ship, but that his disciples were gone alone,

And that there came other ships from Tiberias neere vnto the place where they ate the bread, after the Lord had giuen thankes.

Nowe when the people sawe that Iesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also tooke shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Iesus.

And when they had founde him on the other side of the sea, they sayde vnto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

Iesus answered them; and sayde, Verely, verely I say vnto you, ye seeke me not because ye sawe the miracles, but because yee ate of ye loaues, and were filled.

Labour not for ye meate which perisheth, but for the meate that endureth vnto euerlasting life, which the Sonne of man shall giue vnto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Then sayde they vnto him, What shall we doe, that we might worke the workes of God?

Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, This is the woorke of God, that yee beleeue in him, whome he hath sent.

They sayde therefore vnto him, What signe shewest thou then, that we may see it, and beleeue thee? what doest thou woorke?

Our fathers did eate Manna in the desart, as it is written, Hee gaue them bread from heauen to eate.

Then Iesus said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Moses gaue you not that bread from heauen, but my Father giueth you that true bread from heauen.

For the breade of God is hee which commeth downe from heauen, and giueth life vnto the world.

Then they said vnto him, Lord, euermore giue vs this bread.

And Iesus saide vnto them, I am that bread of life: he that commeth to me, shall not hunger, and he that beleeueth in me, shall neuer thirst.

But I said vnto you, that ye also haue seene me, and beleeue not.

All that the Father giueth me, shall come to mee: and him that commeth to me, I cast not away.
