The Life of Jesus

For I came downe from heauen, not to do mine owne wil, but his wil which hath sent me.

And this is the Fathers will which hath sent mee, that of all which hee hath giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but shoulde raise it vp againe at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent mee, that euery man which seeth the Sonne, and beleeueth in him, should haue euerlasting life: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

The Iewes then murmured at him because hee sayde, I am that bread, which is come downe from heauen.

And they said, Is not this Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, whose father and mother wee knowe? howe then sayth he, I came downe from heauen?

Iesus then answered, and saide vnto them, Murmure not among your selues.

No man can come to mee, except the Father, which hath sent mee, drawe him: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

It is written in the Prophetes, And they shalbe al taught of God. Euery man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, commeth vnto me:

Not that any man hath seene the Father, saue hee which is of God, hee hath seene the Father.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, hee that beleeueth in me, hath euerlasting life.

I am that bread of life.

Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead.

This is that breade, which commeth downe from heauen, that hee which eateth of it, shoulde not die.

I am that liuing breade, which came downe from heauen: if any man eate of this breade, hee shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world.

Then the Iewes stroue among themselues, saying, Howe can this man giue vs his flesh to eate?

Then Iesus saide vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you.

Whosoeuer eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall life, and I will raise him vp at the last day.

For my flesh is meat in deede, and my blood is drinke in deede.

Hee that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

As that liuing Father hath sent me, so liue I by the Father, and he that eateth me, euen he shall liue by me.

This is that bread which came downe from heauen: not as your fathers haue eaten Manna, and are deade. Hee that eateth of this bread, shall liue for euer.

These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) sayde, This is an hard saying: who can heare it?

But Iesus knowing in himselfe, that his disciples murmured at this, saide vnto them, Doeth this offend you?

What then if yee should see that Sonne of man ascend vp where he was before?
