Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him because He not only had broken the sabbath but He said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself except what He seeth the Father do, for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son and showeth Him all things that He Himself doeth. And He will show Him greater works than these that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. This is so all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but pass from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God. They that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself. And He hath given Him authority to execute judgment also because He is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this because the hour is coming in which all that are in graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth. They that have done good go unto the resurrection of life. They that have done evil go unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is just because I seek not my own will but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man. I say these things that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light and ye were willing, for a season, to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than that of John, for the works which the Father hath given me to complete are the same works that I do. Witness that the Father hath sent me. The Father Himself which hath sent me hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape. Ye have not His word abiding in you because whom He hath sent ye believe not.
Search the scriptures. In them ye think ye have eternal life. They are that which testify of me. Yet ye will not come to me that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men but I know you that have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name him ye will receive. How can ye believe when ye receive honour one of another and seek not the honour that cometh only from God? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is already one that accuseth you: Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses ye would have believed me because he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings how shall ye believe my words?
6. After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed Him because they saw the miracles which He did on those who were diseased. Jesus went up into a mountain and there He sat with His disciples. The passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus saw a great company come unto Him, He saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? This He said to test Philip because Jesus Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for every one to take a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two small fishes. But what are they among so many?
And Jesus said, Have the men sit down on the grass. So the men, about five thousand, sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves. When He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were seated. Then the same with the fishes. When all were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain so that nothing be wasted. Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the leftover fragments of the five barley loaves. Those who, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him by force to make Him a king, He departed alone into a mountain.
It was now evening. His disciples went down to the sea and entered into a boat and went toward Capernaum. It grew dark and Jesus had not come to them. Then the sea arose by the force of a great wind. When they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat. They were afraid. But He saith unto them, It is I. Be not afraid. Then they willingly received Him into the boat and immediately were at the land whither they went.
The day following, the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one His disciples entered. And they saw that Jesus went not with His disciples but that His disciples left alone. (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks.) When the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they took boats to Capernaum to look for Him.
Now when they found Jesus on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, Rabbi, when camest Thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life. It is what the Son of man shall give you for God the Father hath sealed Him.
