THE FEEDING OF THE FIVE THOUSAND. John 6:1 Jesus back in Galilee:... [ Continue Reading ]
AFTER THESE THINGS JESUS WENT OVER THE SEA OF GALILEE, WHICH IS THE SEA OF TIBERIUS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND A GREAT MULTITUDE FOLLOWED HIM, BECAUSE THEY SAW HIS MIRACLES WHICH HE DID ON THEM THAT WERE DISEASED.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN, AND THERE HE SAT WITH HIS DISCIPLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE PASSOVER, A FEAST OF THE JEWS, WAS NIGH. See Matthew 14:15; Mark 6:35; Luke 9:10. After these things, without definite fixing of the time. The chances are that the journey to the Feast of Purim had taken only a few days, and that the Galilean ministry of Jesus was not influenced by the inter... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS THEN LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAW A GREAT COMPANY COME UNTO HIM, HE SAITH UNTO PHILIP, WHENCE SHALL WE BUY BREAD THAT THESE MAY EAT?... [ Continue Reading ]
Jesus tests the faith of the disciples:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THIS HE SAID TO PROVE HIM; FOR HE HIMSELF KNEW WHAT HE WOULD DO.... [ Continue Reading ]
PHILIP ANSWERED HIM, TWO HUNDRED PENNYWORTH OF BREAD IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THEM THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM MAY TAKE A LITTLE.... [ Continue Reading ]
ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES, ANDREW, SIMON PETER'S BROTHER, SAITH UNTO HIM,... [ Continue Reading ]
THERE IS A LAD HERE WHICH HATH FIVE BARLEY LOAVES AND TWO SMALL FISHES; BUT WHAT ARE THEY AMONG SO MANY? Jesus was busy all day, teaching and healing the sick, and hardly had time to look around. In the meantime, however, the crowd increased in number continually; the people kept coming all day long... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS SAID, MAKE THE MEN SIT DOWN. NOW THERE WAS MUCH GRASS IN THE PLACE. SO THE MEN SAT DOWN, IN NUMBER ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND.... [ Continue Reading ]
The miracle:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS TOOK THE LOAVES; AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE DISTRIBUTED TO THE DISCIPLES, AND THE DISCIPLES TO THEM THAT WERE SET DOWN; AND LIKEWISE OF THE FISHES AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN THEY WERE FILLED, HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS THAT REMAIN THAT NOTHING BE LOST.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE THEY GATHERED THEM TOGETHER, AND FILLED TWELVE BASKETS WITH THE FRAGMENTS OF THE FIVE BARLEY LOAVES WHICH REMAINED OVER AND ABOVE UNTO THEM THAT HAD EATEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THOSE MEN, WHEN THEY HAD SEEN THE MIRACLE THAT JESUS DID, SAID, THIS IS OF A TRUTH THAT PROPHET THAT SHOULD COME INTO THE WORLD. Jesus now assumed charge of affairs, He became master of ceremonies, governor of the feast. He ordered the disciples to have the people recline on the green grass, wh... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS THEREFORE PERCEIVED THAT THEY WOULD COME AND TAKE HIM BY FORCE TO MAKE HIM A KING, HE DEPARTED AGAIN INTO A MOUNTAIN, HIMSELF ALONE.... [ Continue Reading ]
CHRIST WALKS ON THE SEA. John 6:15... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN EVEN WAS NOW COME, HIS DISCIPLES WENT DOWN UNTO THE SEA,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND ENTERED INTO A SHIP, AND WENT OVER THE SEA TOWARD CAPERNAUM. AND IT WAS NOW DARK, AND JESUS WAS NOT COME TO THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE SEA AROSE BY REASON OF A GREAT WIND THAT BLEW.... [ Continue Reading ]
SO WHEN THEY HAD ROWED ABOUT FIVE AND TWENTY OR THIRTY FURLONGS, THEY SEE JESUS WALKING ON THE SEA, AND DRAWING NIGH UNTO THE SHIP; AND THEY WERE AFRAID.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT HE SAITH UNTO THEM, IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THEY WILLINGLY RECEIVED HIM INTO THE SHIP; AND IMMEDIATELY THE SHIP WAS AT THE LAND WHITHER THEY WENT. Here was evidence that the Jews had no idea as to the real meaning of the Messiah and His work, even if some of them were inclined to accept Jesus as the Christ. The intention gained adherents... [ Continue Reading ]
THE DAY FOLLOWING, WHEN THE PEOPLE WHICH STOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA SAW THAT THERE WAS NONE OTHER BOAT THERE, SAVE THAT ONE WHEREINTO HIS DISCIPLES WERE ENTERED, AND THAT JESUS WENT NOT WITH HIS DISCIPLES INTO THE BOAT, BUT THAT HIS DISCIPLES WERE GONE AWAY ALONE;... [ Continue Reading ]
CHRIST THE BREAD OF LIFE. The surprise of the people:... [ Continue Reading ]
(HOWBEIT THERE CAME OTHER BOATS FROM TIBERIUS NIGH UNTO THE PLACE WHERE THEY DID EAT BREAD AFTER THAT THE LORD HAD GIVEN THANKS;)... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN THE PEOPLE THEREFORE SAW THAT JESUS WAS NOT THERE, NEITHER HIS DISCIPLES, THEY ALSO TOOK SHIPPING, AND CAME TO CAPERNAUM, SEEKING FOR JESUS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN THEY HAD FOUND HIM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA, THEY SAID UNTO HIM, RABBI, WHEN CAMEST THOU HITHER? On the morning after the miracle of the loaves there was great excitement and astonishment on the northeastern shore of the lake. The people that had remained in that neighborhood overnight,... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SEEK ME, NOT BECAUSE YE SAW THE MIRACLES, BUT BECAUSE YE DID EAT OF THE LOAVES AND WERE FILLED.... [ Continue Reading ]
The work of God:... [ Continue Reading ]
LABOR NOT FOR THE MEAT WHICH PERISHETH, BUT FOR THAT MEAT WHICH ENDURETH UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE, WHICH THE SON OF MAN SHALL GIVE UNTO YOU; FOR HIM HATH GOD THE FATHER SEALED.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHAT SHALL WE DO THAT WE MIGHT WORK THE WORKS OF GOD?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT. Jesus knew the reason for their insistence, for the great interest they were showing at this time. With solemn emphasis He tells them that the reason why they sought Him was a wrong one. They had in... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY SAID THEREFORE UNTO HIM, WHAT SIGN SHOWEST THOU, THEN, THAT WE MAY SEE, AND BELIEVE THEE? WHAT DOST THOU WORK?... [ Continue Reading ]
Bread from heaven:... [ Continue Reading ]
OUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA IN THE DESERT; AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, MOSES GAVE YOU NOT THAT BREAD FROM HEAVEN; BUT MY FATHER GIVETH YOU THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THE BREAD OF GOD IS HE WHICH COMETH DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND GIVETH LIFE UNTO THE WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, LORD, EVERMORE GIVE US THIS BREAD. That Jesus demanded faith in Himself as a condition of their obtaining salvation, this the Jews now understood. They therefore demanded proof of His ambassadorship and of His ministry, which, as He claimed, elevated Him to the divine rank.... [ Continue Reading ]
Jesus the Bread of Life:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, I AM HE BREAD OF LIFE; HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT I SAID UNTO YOU, THAT YE ALSO HAVE SEEN ME, AND BELIEVE NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVETH ME SHALL COME TO ME; AND HIM THAT COMETH TO ME I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, NOT TO DO MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THIS IS THE FATHER'S WILL WHICH HATH SENT ME, THAT OF ALL WHICH HE HATH GIVEN ME I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING, BUT SHOULD RAISE IT UP AGAIN AT THE LAST DAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THIS IS THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME, THAT EVERYONE WHICH SEETH THE SON AND BELIEVETH ON HIM MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE; AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. Jesus now makes a plain, frank statement. He had not said that He would give the wonderful bread that came down from heaven, but He had... [ Continue Reading ]
THE JEWS THEN MURMURED AT HIM BECAUSE HE SAID, I AM THE BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
The murmuring Jews:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY SAID, IS NOT THIS JESUS, THE SON OF JOSEPH, WHOSE FATHER AND MOTHER WE KNOW? HOW IS IT, THEN, THAT HE SAITH, I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS THEREFORE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, MURMUR NOT AMONG YOURSELVES.... [ Continue Reading ]
NO MAN CAN COME TO ME EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM; AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS, AND THEY SHALL BE ALL TAUGHT OF GOD. EVERY MAN, THEREFORE, THAT HATH HEARD AND HATH LEARNED OF THE FATHER COMETH UNTO ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOT THAT ANY MAN HATH SEEN THE FATHER SAVE HE WHICH IS OF GOD, HE HATH SEEN THE FATHER. At this point the Jews started to grumble, to murmur among themselves, to express their disapproval. The idea that this man should Himself be that wonderful Bread which had come down from heaven seemed prepostero... [ Continue Reading ]
VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVERLASTING LIFE.... [ Continue Reading ]
Living Bread to eat:... [ Continue Reading ]
I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE.... [ Continue Reading ]
YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA IN THE WILDERNESS AND ARE DEAD.... [ Continue Reading ]
THIS IS THE BREAD WHICH COMETH DOWN FROM HEAVEN, THAT A MAN MAY EAT THEREOF AND NOT DIE.... [ Continue Reading ]
I AM THE LIVING BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN; IF ANY MAN EAT OF THIS BREAD, HE SHALL LIVE FOREVER; AND THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH, WHICH I WILL GIVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD. Jesus changes neither text nor contents of His sermon in one particle. He repeats the main thoughts again t... [ Continue Reading ]
THE JEWS, THEREFORE, STROVE AMONG THEMSELVES, SAYING, HOW CAN THIS MAN GIVE US HIS FLESH TO EAT?... [ Continue Reading ]
Life through Christ's sacrifice:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHOSO EATETH MY FLESH AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD HATH ETERNAL LIFE; AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR MY FLESH IS MEAT INDEED, AND MY BLOOD IS DRINK INDEED.... [ Continue Reading ]
HE THAT EATETH MY FLESH AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD DWELLETH IN ME AND I IN HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AS THE LIVING FATHER HATH SENT ME, AND I LIVE BY THE FATHER, SO HE THAT EATETH ME, EVEN HE SHALL LIVE BY ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
THIS IS THAT BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN; NOT AS YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA AND ARE DEAD; HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL LIVE FOREVER.... [ Continue Reading ]
THESE THINGS SAID HE IN THE SYNAGOGUE, AS HE TAUGHT IN CAPERNAUM. Although Jesus had been careful to explain His figure sufficiently that all might have understood Him, yet the understanding was lacking in the greater number of His hearers. There was a division, a dispute, among them. They differed... [ Continue Reading ]
MANY; THEREFORE, OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD THIS, SAID, THIS IS AN HARD SAYING; WHO CAN HEAR IT?... [ Continue Reading ]
THE OFFENSE OF MANY DISCIPLES. The disciples murmur:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS KNEW IN HIMSELF THAT HIS DISCIPLES MURMURED AT IT, HE SAID UNTO THEM, DOTH THIS OFFEND YOU?... [ Continue Reading ]
WHAT AND IF YE SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE?... [ Continue Reading ]
IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING. THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THERE ARE SOME OF YOU THAT BELIEVE NOT. FOR JESUS KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING WHO THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, AND WHO SHOULD BETRAY HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID, THEREFORE SAID I UNTO YOU THAT NO MAN CAN COME UNTO ME EXCEPT IT WERE GIVEN UNTO HIM OF MY FATHER. Jesus had gained a considerable number of followers in Galilee, people that were impressed by both His miracles and His preaching and therefore accompanied Him whenever they could. These p... [ Continue Reading ]
FROM THAT TIME MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
The loyalty of the Twelve:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SIMON PETER ANSWERED HIM, LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? THOU HAST THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WE BELIEVE AND ARE SURE THAT THOU ART THAT CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED THEM, HAVE NOT I CHOSEN YOU TWELVE, AND ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL?... [ Continue Reading ]
HE SPAKE OF JUDAS ISCARIOT, THE SON OF SIMON; FOR HE IT WAS THAT SHOULD BETRAY HIM, BEING ONE OF THE TWELVE. In spite of the warning of Jesus, a great many of those that had followed Him for some time deliberately turned from Jesus and no longer accompanied Him on His preaching-trips. They gave up t...
