"*** JOHN 05 ***" 
"Jesus again visits Jerusalem   1Some time later Jesus again went up to Jerusalem for a feast . Jesus heals an invalid at the pool of Bethesda   2Now in Jerusalem there is a pool called"
"Bethesda which is surrounded by five covered porches . In these porches lay many invalids , blind , lame , and paralysed waiting for the moving of the water .   3For from time to time an angel would come and stir up the water . The first one into the pool after the disturbance would be cured of what- ever disease he had .   4Now there was a man lying there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years . When Jesus learned he had been in this condition for such a long time he said to him , Do you want to made well?   5The"
"invalid replied , Sir I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred . While I am trying to get in , another goes down ahead of me .   6Jesus said to him , Arise, take up your mat and walk. At once the invalid was healed and he picked up his mat and walked . The Jewish leaders rebuke the  healed man for breaking the Sabbath   7Now this took place on the Sabbath day . Some of the teachers of the Law said to theman who had been healed , The Law forbids you to carry your mat on the Sabbath .    He replied , The man who healed me told me to take up my mat and walk ."
"9They asked , Who was he?  But the man did not know for Jesus had disappeared into thecrowd . Jesus tells the healed man to sin no more  or something worse may happen to him    Later Jesus saw the man at the Temple and said to him , See, you are well again. Sin no more or something worse may happen to you.   Then the man went and told the teachers of the Law that it was Jesus who had healed him . Street in Jerusalem. Jesus persecuted for healing on the Sabbath   12Because Jesus did such things on the Sabbath the chief priests and teachers of the Law persecuted him . But Jesus said to them"
", My Father is always at his work, so I tooam working.  For this reason they tried all the harder to kill him for not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he was even claiming God to behis own Father , making himself equal with God . Jesus does what he has seen his Father doing    Jesus said to them , The Son does nothing of himself, only what he has seenhis Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does also. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he does.   Yes, and even greater works than these shall he show him to your amazement, for just as the Father raises the dead"
"and givesthem Eternal Life, so too will the Son give Eternal Life to whomever he chooses. All judgement given to Jesus  by the Father    The Father judges no one but has given all judgement to the Son, that all mayhonour him just as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.   But of myself I do nothing. I judge only as I hear, but my judgement is just for I seek to please not myself but him who sent me. Whoever believes the words of Jesus  has Eternal Life   19Whoever believes my words believes him who sent me and has Eternal Life. He"
"will not be condemned. He has crossed over from Death to Life. The dead also to hear the voice of Jesus   20The time is coming and has now come, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who heed it will Live.  All who have died to be resurrected   21Be not amazed at this, for the day will come when all who are in their graves will hear my voice and come out. Those whohave done good to Eternal Life, and those who have done evil to condemnation. The Pharisees challenge Jesus testimony    But the Pharisees challenged Jesus saying , You are appearing as your own"
"witness , therefore your testimony is not valid . Jesus cites John the Baptists testimony   23Jesus answered , If I testify of myself my testimony is not valid, but John has testified to the truth. 24John was a lamp that burned and gave light and you chose for atime to enjoy his light. Jesus also cites the miracles  he has done and the Fathers testimony    However I have testimony greater than that of John, for the miracles that the Father has given me to do testify that he has sentme.    Also the Father who sent me has himself"
"testified concerning me. But his word does not dwell in you for you do not believe the one he sent. The scriptures also testify of Jesus   27You study the scriptures, thinking that by them you will gain Eternal Life and the scriptures testify of me. Yet you refuse tocome to me to have Eternal Life.  You have not the love of God in your hearts.   29I come in my Fathers name and you accept me not, but if another comes in his own name you will accept him. Moses himself will be Pharisees accuser   30But think not that I will accuse you before the Father, your accuser will be Moses, on"
"whom your hopes are set.   31If you believed Moses you would believe me, for he wrote of me. But since you disbelieve the words he wrote, how are you going to believe my words? If you do not believe in me  you will die in your sins   32You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. If you do not believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins. Jesus testifies of the Father   34The Pharisees demanded , Tell us who you are.   Jesus answered , I am who I have been claiming to be all along. He who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have"
"heard from him I tell the world.   They did not understand that he was speaking of his Father so Jesus said , When you have lifted up the Son of Man then youwill know that I am who I claim to be. And that I do nothing of my own will but speak what the Father has taught me.   He who sent me is with me and has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.   Even as he spoke , many believed in him"  
"*** JOHN 06 ***" 
"A great crowd of people have no food   1Jesus returned once more to Galilee . Soon afterward he crossed to the far shore of the lake and a great crowd of people followed"
"him , for they had seen the miracles he hadperformed on the sick .    Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down with his twelve disciples . Then he said to Philip , Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat? (He said this only to test him .)   3Philip answered , Even 200 denarii would not buy enough bread for all these  A boy has five loaves and two fishes   4Another of his disciples Andrew said , Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fishes , but what is that among so many?  Jesus"
"miraculously feeds 5000 men   5Jesus said , Have the people sit down. There was much grass in that place and they all sat down , about 5000 men .   6Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks , then his disciples distributed them to those who were seated , as much as they wanted . He did the same with the fishes . Twelve baskets of food gathered up afterward   7When they had all had enough to eat , Jesus said to his disciples , Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted. 8So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves that were left"
"over . The people want to make Jesus king   9After the people saw this miracle they began to say , Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world .   10When Jesus saw that they intended to make him king by force he withdrew into the hills by himself . Jesus walks on water   11When evening came , the disciples got into the boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum . It was dark and Jesus had not yet joined them .   12A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough . When they had rowed about 25 stadia they saw Jesus approaching the boat walking on the water , and they"
"feared greatly .   13But he called out to them saying , It is I, fear not.   Then they were willing to take him into the boat. Soon afterward the boat reached the shore where they were heading . Lake Galilee where Jesus walked on the water. The crowd search for Jesus next day   15The next day some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread . Many who had been there the   previous day got into the boats and crossed to Capernaum in search of Jesus .   16They found him teaching in the synagogue at"
"Capernaum and said to him , Teacher when did you get here?    17Jesus answered , You are looking for me because you ate bread and had your fill. Seek not for food that spoils, but for food that endures unto Eternal Life. This the Sonof Man will give you. The people ask Jesus for a sign    The people said to him , What does God require of us?    19Jesus replied , To believe in the one he has sent.   20They said , What sign will you give us that we may believe in you? Our forefathers ate manna from heaven in the desert . The Father has sent Jesus  the True Bread   21Jesus said to them"
", Moses did not send you the bread from heaven, but my Father. Now he has sent the True Bread of heaven to give Eternal Life to the world.   They said , Give us this True Bread .   23Jesus declared , I am the True Bread of Eternal Life. He who comes to me will neverhunger or thirst. All whom the Father has given will come to Jesus    You have seen me and do not believe in me. Yet all whom the Father has given me will come to me. I have come down from heaven   25For I have come down from heaven, not to do my will but the will of him who sent me.   This is his will, that I lose none of"
"those whom he has given me but raise them up at the last day. 27All who come to the Son and believe in him shall have Eternal Life.  The people murmur in disbelief   28At this the people began to murmur saying , Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph , whose father and mother we know? How then can he say, I came down from heaven?   29Jesus said , Do not murmur among your- selves. No one can come to me unless the Father draws him, for it is written in the scriptures, They will all be taught by God.   All who listen to the Father will come to me and find Eternal Life. Jesus the True"
"Bread of Eternal Life   31I am the True Bread of Life. Your forefathers ate manna in the desert yet they died. But I am the True Bread that comes down from heaven which a man may eatand have Eternal Life. This bread is my flesh.  The people again murmured saying , How can this man give us his flesh to eat?    33Jesus said to them , Truly I say, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have Eternal Life. 34Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has Eternal Life and I will raise him up at"
"the last day. He will abide in me and I in him.   Just as the Eternal Father sent me, and I have Eternal Life because of the Father,so anyone who feeds on this bread will have Eternal Life because of me. Many followers turn away from Jesus   36On hearing these words , many of his disciples said , This is a hard teaching , who can accept it?    37Aware that his disciples were murmuring about this , Jesus said to them , Does this offend you? What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?   38The Spirit gives life, but the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken"
"to you are Spirit and they will bring you Eternal Life.   From that hour on , many of his disciples turned away and no longer followed Jesus . Jesus asks the Twelve if  they will go away also   40Jesus turned to the Twelve and said , Will you also go away?   41Peter answered , Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of Eternal Life . We know that you are the Holy One of God . One of the Twelve is a devil   42Jesus said , Did I not choose you Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil. (He meant Judas Iscariot who was later to betray him.)"
