Section XIX.
[1]
1332
And in the fourth
watch of the night Jesus came unto them, walking upon the [2]
1333
water, after they had rowed
1334
with difficulty about twenty-five or thirty
furlongs.
[3]
1335
And when he drew near unto their boat, his
disciples saw him walking on the water; and they were troubled, and
supposed that it was a false appearance; and they cried [4] out from
their fear.
1336
But Jesus
straightway spoke unto them, and said, Take courage, [5] for it is I;
fear not.
1337
Then Cephas answered
and said unto him, My Lord, if it be thou, [6] bid me to come unto thee
on the water.
1338
And Jesus said unto
him, Come. And [7] Cephas went down out of the boat, and walked
on the water to come unto Jesus.
1339
But
[Arabic, p. 74] when he saw the wind strong, he feared, and was on the
point of sinking; [8] and he lifted up his voice, and said, My Lord,
save me.
1340
And immediately our
Lord stretched out his hand and took
hold of
him, and said unto
him, [9] Thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
1341
And when Jesus came near, he went up [10]
unto them into the boat, he and Simon, and immediately the wind
ceased.
1342
And those that were
in the ship came and worshipped him, and said, Truly thou art the [11]
Son of God.
1343
And straightway that
ship arrived at the land which they made for. [12]
1344
And when they came out of the ship to the
land, they marvelled greatly and were [13] perplexed in
themselves:
1345
and they had not
understood by means of
1346
that bread, because
their heart was gross.
[14]
1347
And when the people
of that region knew of the arrival of Jesus, they made haste in all
that land, and began to bring those that were diseased,
1348
borne in their [15] beds to the place where
they heard that he was.
1349
And wheresoever the
place
might be
which he entered, of the villages or the cities,
they laid the sick in the markets, and sought of him that they might
touch
1350
were it only the edge of his garment:
and all that touched
1351
him were healed and
lived.
1352
[16]
1353
And on the day after
that, the multitude which was standing on the shore of the sea saw that
there was there no other ship save that into which the disciples had
[17] gone up,
1354
and that Jesus went
not up into the ship with his disciples (but there were other ships
from Tiberias near
1355
the place where
they ate the bread when Jesus blessed [18]
it
):
1356
and when that multitude saw that Jesus was
not there, nor yet his disciples, they [19] [Arabic, p. 75] went up
into those ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought Jesus.
1357
And when they found him on the other side of
the sea, they said unto him, Our [20] Master, when camest thou
hither?
1358
Jesus answered and
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye have not sought me
because of
1359
your seeing the
signs, but because of [21] your eating the bread and being
satisfied.
1360
Serve not the food
which perisheth, but the food which abideth in eternal life,
1361
which the Son of man will give unto
you: him
1362
[22] hath God the
Father sealed.
1363
They said unto him,
What shall we do that we may [23] work the work of God?
1364
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is
the work of [24] God, that ye believe in him whom he hath sent.
1365
They said unto him, What sign hast thou done,
that we may see, and believe in thee? what hast thou wrought?
[25]
1366
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness;
as it was written, Bread from heaven [26] gave he them to eat.
1367
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Moses gave you not bread from [27] heaven; but my Father
gave
1368
you the bread of truth
1369
from heaven.
1370
The
bread of God is that which came down from heaven and gave the [28, 29]
world life.
1371
They said unto him,
Our Lord, give us at all times this bread.
1372
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of
life: whosoever cometh unto me shall not hunger, [30] and
whosoever believeth in me shall not thirst for ever.
1373
But I said unto you, [31] Ye have seen me,
and have not believed.
1374
And all that my
Father hath given to me cometh unto me; and whosoever cometh unto me I
shall not cast him forth without. [32]
1375
I
came down from heaven, not to do my
own
will, but to do the will
of him [33] that sent me;
1376
and this is the will
of him that sent me, that I should lose nothing of [34] [Arabic, p. 76]
that which he gave me, but raise it up in the last day.
1377
This is the will of my Father, that every one
that seeth the Son, and believeth in him, should have eternal life; and
I will raise him up in the last day.
[35]
1378
The Jews therefore
murmured against him because of his saying, I am the bread [36] which
came down from heaven.
1379
And they said, Is
not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
then how saith this
man
, I came down from [37, 38] heaven?
1380
Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not
one with another.
1381
No
man is able to come unto me, except the Father
which sent me draw him; and I will [39] raise him up in the last
day.
1382
It is written in the
prophet, They shall all be the taught of God. Every one who
heareth from the Father now,
1383
and learneth of
him, cometh [40] unto me.
1384
No man now
seeth the Father; but he that is from God, he it is that seeth [41] the
Father.
1385
Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me hath eternal [42, 43]
life.
1386
I am the bread of
life.
1387
Your fathers ate the
manna in the wilderness, and [44] they died.
1388
This is the bread which came down from
heaven, that a man may eat [45] of it, and not die.
1389
I am the bread of life which came down from
heaven: and if a man eat of this bread he shall live for
ever:
1390
and the bread which
I shall give is my body, which I give for the life of the world.
[46]
1391
The Jews therefore
quarrelled one with another, and said, How can he give us [47] [Arabic,
p. 77] his body that we may eat it?
1392
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, If ye do not eat the body of the Son of man and drink his
blood, ye shall [48] not have life in yourselves.
1393
Whosoever eateth of my body and drinketh of
my blood [49] hath eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last
day.
1394
My body truly is
meat,
1395
and [50] my blood truly is drink.
1396
1397
Whosoever
eateth my body and drinketh my blood abideth [51] in me, and I in
him—
1398
as the living Father
sent me, and I am alive because of the [52] Father; and whosoever
eateth me, he also shall live because of me.
1399
This is the bread which came down from
heaven: and not according as your fathers ate the [53] manna, and
died: whosoever eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
1400
This he said in [54] the synagogue, when he
was teaching in Capernaum.
1401
And many of his
disciples, when they heard, said, This word is hard; who is he that can
hear it?
