Now there was grass much in the place. Reclined therefore the men the number about five thousand. 11 Took therefore the loaves Jesus and having given thanks distributed to the ones lying down. Likewise also of the fishes as much as they wished. 12 Now when they were filled, he tells the disciples of him: Gather ye the left over fragments, that not anything is lost. 13 They gathered therefore, and filled twelve baskets of fragments of the five loaves barley which were left over to the ones having eaten. 14 Therefore men seeing what he did sign said This is truly the prophet coming into the world (Note: Literal translation of Revised Standard Version 1988)

6:16 And when evening came, went down the disciples of him to the sea, 17 and embarking in a boat came across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness now had come and not yet had come to them Jesus 18 and the sea wind a great blowing was roused. 19 Having rowed therefore about furlongs twenty-five or thirty they behold Jesus walking on the sea and near the boat becoming and they feared. 20 But he says to them: I am not fear ye. 21 They wished therefore to take him into the boat, and immediately was the boat at the land to which they were going.

11:7 then after this he says to the disciples: Let us go into Judaea again. 8 Say to him the disciples: Rabbi, now were seeking thee to stone the Jews, and again goest thou there? 9 Answered Jesus: Not twelve hours are there of the day? if anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because the light world of this he sees; 10 but if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. 11 These things he said, and after this he says to them: Lazarus the friend of us has fallen asleep; but I am going that I may awaken him. 12 Said there the disciples to him: Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be healed. 13 Now had spoken Jesus concerning the death of him; but those men thought that concerning the sleep of slumber he says. 14 Then therefore told them Jesus plainly: Lazarus died. 15 and I rejoice because of you, that ye may believe, that I was not there: but let us go to them. 16 Said therefore Thomas being called Twin to that fellow-disciples: Let us go also we that we may die with him. 17 coming therefore Jesus found him four already days having in the tomb. 18 Now was Bethany near Jerusalem about away furlongs fifteen. 19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. 20 Therefore Martha when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary in the house sat. 21 Said therefore Martha to Jesus. Lord, if thou wast here, would not have died the brother of me. 22 And now I know that whatever things thou askest God will give thee God. 23 Says to her Jesus: Will rise again the brother of thee. 24 Says to him Martha: I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day. 25 Said to her Jesus: I am the resurrection and the life: the one believing in me even if he should die will live. 26 and everyone living and believing in me by no means dies unto the age: believest thou this? 27 She says to him: Yes Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ the Son of God the into the world one coming. 28 And this saying she went away and called Mary the sister of her secretly saying. The Teacher is here and calls thee. 29 And that one when she heard, rose quickly and came to him. 30 now not yet had come Jesus into the village, but was still in the place where met him Martha. 31 Therefore the Jews the ones being with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that quickly she rose up and went out, followed her, thinking She is going to the tomb that she may weep there. 32 Therefore Mary when she came where was Jesus, seeing him fell of him at the feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou wast here would not of me have died the brother. 33 Jesus therefore when he saw her weeping and the coming with her Jews weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself. 34 and said: Where have ye put him? They say to him: Lord come and see. 35 Shed tears Jesus. 36 Said therefore the Jews: See how he loved him. 37 But some of them said: Could not this man the one opening the eyes of the blind man to cause the even this man should not die?

6:22 On the morrow the crowd standing across the sea saw that boat other was not there except one, and that did not come in with the disciples of him Jesus in the boat but alone the disciples of him went away: 23 Other came boats from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread having given thanks the Lord. 24 When therefore saw the crowd that Jesus was not there nor the disciples of him, embarked they in the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. 25 And finding him across the sea they said to him: Rabbi, when here hast thou come? 26 Answered them Jesus and said: Truly truly I say to you, ye seek me not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were satisfied. 27 Work not for the food perishing, but for the food remaining to life eternal, which the Son of man you will give: for this one the Father sealed God. 28 They said therefore to him: What may we do that we may work the works of God? 29 Answered Jesus and said to them: This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom sent that one. 30 They said therefore to him: what then doest thou sign, that we may see and believe thee? what workest thou? 31 The fathers of us the manna ate in the desert, as it is having been written: Bread out of heaven he gave them to eat. 32 Said therefore to them Jesus Truly truly I say to you, not Moses has given you the bread out of heaven, but the Father of me gives you the bread out of heaven the true: 33 for the bread of God is the one coming down out of heaven and life giving to the world. 34 They said therefore to him: Lord, always give us bread this. 35 Said to them Jesus: I am the bread of life the one coming to me by no means hungers, and the one believing in me by no means will thirst never. 36 But I told you that both ye have seen me and do not believe. 37 All which gives to me the Father to me will come, and the one coming to me by no means I will cast out outside. 38 Because I have come down from heaven not that I may do the will my but the will of the one having sent me. 39 And this is the will of the one having sent me, that all which he has given me I shall not lose of it, but shall raise up it in the last day. 40 this For is the will of the Father of me, that everyone beholding the Son and believing in him may have life eternal, and will raise up him I in the last day. 41 Murmured therefore the Jews about him because he said: I am the bread having come down out of heaven 42 and they said: Not this man is Jesus the son of Joseph, of whom we know the father and the mother? how now says he Out of heaven I have come down? 43 Answered Jesus and said to them: Do not murmur with one another. 44 No one can to come to me unless the Father the one having sent me should draw him and I will raise up him in the last day. 45 It is having been written in the prophets: And they shall be all taught of God; everyone hearing from the Father and learning comes to me. 46 Not that the Father has seen anyone, except the one being from God this one has sent he Father. 47 Truly Truly Continued on Next Page

11:47 .. Continued having beheld what he did, believed in him: 46 but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what things did Jesus. 47 Assembled therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said: What are we doing, because this man many does signs? 48 If we leave him thus, all men will believe in him, and will come the Romans and will take of us both the place and the nation. 49 One But a certain of them Caiaphas, high priest being year of that, said to them; Ye know not anything 50 nor reckon that it is expedient for us that one many should die for the people and not all the nation perish. 51 But this from himself he said not, but high priest be in year of that he prophesied that was about Jesus to die for the nation. 52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God having been scattered he might gather into one.
