According to John 5: 31-47: Witnesses to Jesus
31 If I witness about myself, my witness is not true: 32 there is another who witnesses about me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnessed about me. 33 You have sent to John, and have witnessed the truth, but I say these (things) so that you may be saved. 35 That (one) was the lamp that burns and shines, and you wanted to announce the hour (is) near in his voice. 36 And I have a witness greater than John: for the works that the father gave me so that I might complete them, these works that I do witness about me that the father sent me. 37 And he who sent me(,) that (one is) the father(,) has witnessed about me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his visible form, 38 and you do not have his word remaining in you, because he whom that (one) sent, you did not believe this (one). 39 Search the writings, because you should have eternal life in them: and those are the witnesses about me: 40 and you do not want to come to me so that you might have life.
41 I do not receive praise from men, 42 but I knew you because you do not have God’s love in yourselves. 43 I came in my father’s name, and you do not receive me: if another comes in his own name, you will receive that (one). 44 How can you believe receiving praise from each other, and not seek praise from the only God? 45 Don’t think that I will bring you to the father: he is the one who brought your Moses, in whom you have trusted. 46 For if you believed Moses, you believed me: for that (one) wrote about me. 47 And if you do not believe in that (one)’s scribes, how will you believe in me?”

According to John 6: 1-15: The Feeding of the Five Thousand
1 After these (things) Jesus went away beside the sea of Galilee of Tiberias. 2 And a great crowd followed him, because they saw the miracles that he did on the sick. 3 And Jesus went away to a mountain and sat there with his disciples. 4 And the passover was near, the feast of the Jews. 5 Therefore Jesus lifted up (his) eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him says to Philip, "From where will we buy foodstuffs so that these (people) may eat?" 6 And he said this testing him: for he knew what he was going to do. 7 [The] Philip answered him, "Loaves (worth the amount) of two hundred denarii are not enough that each might recieve [some] small (piece)." 8 One of his disciples, Andrew brother of Simon Peter, said to him, 9 "There is a child here who has five barley loaves and two salted fish: but what is these in so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Make the men sit." And there was much grass in the place. Therefore the men sat(,) a number about five thousand. 11 Therefore Jesus took the loaves and blessed (them and) gave (them) to those sitting and likewise they wanted as many of the salted fish. 12 And as they were full, he says to his disciples, "Gather the leftover crumbs, lest any be destroyed." 13 Therefore they gathered (them) and filled twelve baskets of crumbs from the five barley loaves which abounded for the eaters.
14 Therefore the men seeing what a miracle he did said that 'This (one) is truly a prophet coming into the world.' 15 Therefore Jesus knew that they were about to come and carry him away to make him a king, (and) went away again to a mountain(,) himself alone.

According to John 6: 16-21: Walking on the Water
16 And about as evening came his disciples went down to the sea 17 and getting in a boat they went to the other side of the sea to Capernaum. And darkness now came and Jesus had not yet come to them, 18 and the sea was lifted up by a great storm of wind. 19 Therefore it drove them about twenty-five or thirty stades (and) they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid. 20 And he says to them, "I am (Jesus): do not be afraid." 21 Therefore they wanted to lift him into the boat, and immediately the boat came on the land to which they were going.

According to John 6: 22-59: Jesus the Bread of Life
22 The next day the crowd that stood beside the sea saw that the other small boat(s) was (were) not there except one and that Jesus had not cone with his disciples in the poat but his disciples had gone away alone: 23 but [small] boats from Tiberias were near the place where they ate bread giving thanks to the lord. 24 Therefore when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they got into the small boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus. 25 And finding him beside the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, how long have you been here?" 26 Jesus answered them and said, "Truly(,) truly I tell you, you seek me not because you saw miracles, but because you ate of the bread and were satisfied. 27 Don't work for destroyed food but for food that remains in eternal life, which the son of man will give you: for father God affirmed this." 28 Therefore they said to him, "What will we do so that we may do God's works?" 29 [The] Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom that (one) sent." 30 Therefore they said to him, "Therefore what sign do you do, so that we may see and believe you? What do you do? 31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." 32 Therefore Jesus said to them, "Truly(,) truly I tell you, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven, but rather my father gave you the true bread from heaven: 33 for the bread of God is that which descends from heaven and gives life to the world."
34 Therefore they said to him, "Lord, always give us this bread." 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life: he who comes to me will certainly not be hungry, and he who believes in me will certainly not ever be thirsty. 36 But they told you that you also saw [me] and did not believe.
37 "Each that my father gave me has come, and I will certainly not throw out he who comes to me, 38 because I came down from heaven not in order to do my will but rather the will of him who sent me, so that each that he gave me I will not lose from him, but rather will raise it [in] the last day. 40 For this is the will of my father, that each who sees the son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him in the last day." 41 Therefore the Jews came close around him because he said, "I am the bread that comes down from heaven," 42 and they said, "Isn't this Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say that 'I have come down from heaven'?" 43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Don't come near with each other. 44 No one can come to me except the father who sent me drags him, and I will raise him in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And all will be taught (by) God: each who hears from the father and learns comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the father except he who is from God, this (one) has seen the father. 47 Truly(,) truly I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and died: 50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that comes down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever, and also the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
52 Therefore the Jews fought among one another saying, "How can this (man) give us [his] flesh to eat?" 53 Therefore Jesus said to them, "Truly(,) truly I tell you, if you don't eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves. 54 He who gnaws my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him in the last day. 55 For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly a drink. 56 He who gnaws my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57 Just as the living father sent me and I live through the father, also that (one) who gnaws me will live through me. 58 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, not as the fathers ate (it) and died; he who gnaws this bread will live forever."
59 He said these (things) teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

According to John 6: 60-71: The Words of Eternal Life
60 Therefore many of his disciples heard (and) said, “This is a hard word: who can listen to it?” 61 And Jesus saw in himself that his disciples were nearing about this (and) said to them, “Does this cause you to sin? 62 Therefore if you see the son of man ascending where he was first? 63 The spirit is what gives life, the flesh does not owe anything: the word that I have spoken to you is spirit and is life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who is his betrayer. 65 And he said, “Therefore I told you that no one can come to me unless it is given to him from the father.”
66 From this many [of] his disciples went away behind and no longer walked with him. 67 Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, “Don’t you also want to go?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom will we go away? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed and known that you are the holy (one) of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you twelve? And one of you is a devil.” 71 And he spoke of Judah Simon Iscariot: for this (one) was about to betray him, one of the twelve.

According to John 7: 1-9: The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brothers
1 And after these (things) Jesus walked in Galilee: for he didn’t want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 And the tabernacle feast of the Jews was near. 3 Therefore his brothers said to him, “Turn around from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may also see your works that you do: 4 for no one does anything in secret and he seeks to be in the arrival. If you do these (things), show yourself to the world.” 5 For his brothers didn’t believe in him. 6 Therefore Jesus said to hem, “My season is not yet here, and your season is always ready. 7 The world can’t hate you, but hates me, because I witness about it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast: I will not go up this feast, because my season has not yet been fulfilled.” 9 And saying these (things) he stayed in Galilee.

According to John 7: 10-24: Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles
10 And as his brothers went up to the feast, then he also went up not seen but [as] in secret. 11 Therefore the Jews sought him in the feast and said, “Where is that (one)?” 12 And there was much whispering about him in the crowds: indeed they said that ‘He is good,’ [but] others said, “No, rather he deceives the crowd.” 13 Nevertheless no one told about him arriving through fear of the Jews.
14 And now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the temple and taught. 15 Therefore the Jews were amazed saying, “How does this (man) know the letters(,) not having been taught?” 16 Therefore [the] Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching his not mine but rather his who sent me: 17 if anyone wants to do his desire, he will know about the teaching whether it is from God or I speak from myself. 18 He who speaks his own glory from himself seeks: and he who seeks the glory of him who sent me(,) this one is true and unrighteousness is not in him. 19 Didn’t Moses give you the law? And no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon: who wants to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work and you were all amazed. 22 So Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is from Moses but rather from the fathers—and on the sabbath you circumcise man. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath lest the law of Moses be broken, you’re angry at me that I made a man healthy on the sabbath? 24 Don’t judge according to eyes, but rather judge righteousness with judgments.”

According to John 7: 25-31: Is This the Christ?
25 Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, “Isn’t this he whom they sought to kill? 26 And behold he speaks openly and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the chief priests knew truly that this is the Christ? 27 But rather we know from where this is: and the Christ when he comes will know from where anything is.” 28 Therefore Jesus cried out in the temple teaching and saying, “And you know me and you know from where I am: and I was not sent from myself, but rather the one who sent me is true, whom you did not know: 29 I know him, because I was from him and that (one) sent me.”
30 Therefore they sought to arrest him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 And many of the crowd believed in him and said, “When the Christ comes he will not do greater miracles than this (man) did.”

According to John 7: 32-36: Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard when the crowd drew near about these (things) of him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to arrest him. 33 Therefore Jesus said, “Still a short time I am with you and I go to him who sent me. 34 Seek me and you won’t find [me], and where I am you cannot come. 35 Therefore the Jesus said to themselves, “Where is this (man) about to go that we can’t find him? Is he going to go into the diaspora of the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this word that he said, ‘Seek me and you won’t find [me], and where I am you cannot come?’ ”
According to John 7: 37-39: Rivers of Living Water
37 In the last(,) greatest day of the feast Jesus stood and cried out saying, “If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink. 38 He who believes in me, just as the writing said, rivers of living water will flow from his belly.” 39 And he said this about the spirit that the believers were going to receive in him: for there was not yet spirit (on them), because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40 Therefore those from the crowd who heard these words said, “This is truly a prophet:” 41 others said, “This is the Christ,” and they said, “For doesn’t the Christ come from Galilee? 42 Didn’t the writing say that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem of the region where David was?” 43 Therefore a schism came about in the crowd because of him: 44 and some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

According to John 7: 45-52: The Unbelief of Those in Authority
45 Therefore the servants came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and those (ones) said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?” 46 The servants replied, “Never did man speak thus.” 47 Therefore the Pharisees answered them, “No, and are you deceived? 48 Has any of the chief priests or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd not knowing the law are under God’s curse.” 50 Nicodemos, who came to him [the] earlier, one who was of them, 51 “Does our law judge man unless it hears from him first and knows what he does?” 52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that the prophet doesn’t rise from Galilee.”
According to John 7: 53-8: 11: The Woman Caught in Adultery
[53 And each went to his own house, 1 and Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he went again to the temple and all the nation came to him, and he sat (and) taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees lead a woman taken in adultery (to him) and standing her in the middle 4 they say to him, “Teacher, this woman (was) taken in the act committing adultery: 5 and in the law Moses commanded us to stone such (women). Therefore what do you say?” 6 And they said this testing him, so that they might have an accusation (against) him. And Jesus bending down wrote in the earth with his finger. 7 And as they stayed questioning him, he straightened and said to them, “The innocent (of) you must first throw a stone at her.” 8 And bending down again he wrote in the earth. 9 And hearing they left one by one beginning with the elders and left the woman alone and being in the middle. 10 And straightening Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 And she said, “No one, lord.” And Jesus said, “Nor do I condemn you: go, [and] from now sin no longer.”

Because you cannot hear my word. 44 You are from the father (who is) the devil and you want to do the desires of your father. That (one) was a murderer from the beginning and the truth has not stood in him, because truth is not in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks of his own (things), because his father is also a liar. 45 But when I tell the truth, you don’t believe me. 46 Who of you chose me about sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 He who is from God hears the words of God: therefore you don’t hear, because you’re not from God.”
