The Life of Jesus

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

`But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

`Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

glory from man I do not receive,

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

how are ye able--ye--to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses--in whom ye have hoped;

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'

After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' --

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

one of his disciples--Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter--saith to him,

`There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these--what are they to so many?'

And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'
