Shabbat Shalom
April 21, 2007 - We are now in the month Zif, which is the second month, 3rd day ( end of April / May ).
Second week of counting the omer.
Judaism is wrong by calling this month Iyyar. Iyyar is not in the Hebrew Scriptures.
1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month,that he began to build the house of the LORD.
H2099 ziv - an unused root meaning
to be prominent; properly brightness
- (figuratively) the month of flowers;
Ziv - Zif
( remember the saying, April showers bring May flowers, wonder
where they got that? )
Gen.7[ 11] In the
six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month , the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Gen.8[
14] And in the
second month, on the seven and twentieth
day of the month, was the earth dried.
Exod.16[
1] And they took their journey
from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the
wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of
the second month after their
departing out of the land of Egypt.
Num.1[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses
in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first
day of the second month, in
the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, [
2] Take ye the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house
of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;[
3] From twenty years old and
upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall
number them by their armies.
[18] And they
assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the
second month, and they declared their
pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
\
Second chance to do the Passover
Num.9[
9] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
Approx. 716-687 BC
2Chr.30[
1] And Hezekiah sent to all
Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they
should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto
the LORD God of Israel.
[5] So they
established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba
even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of
Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not
done it of a long time in such sort as it was written
.
[13] And there
assembled at Jerusalem much people to
keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month
, a very great congregation.
[15] Then they
killed the passover on the fourteenth
day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites
were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings
into the house of the LORD.
[26] So there was great joy in Jerusalem:
for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not
the like in Jerusalem.
Ezra.3[
8] Now in the second year of
their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the
second month, began
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant
of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come
out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty
years old and upward, to set forward the work of the
house of the LORD.

Spring Feasts and Holy Days
of the Lord this year 2007
This year, 2007, our dates are as follows:
We are counting the omer.
Lev.23
[15
] And ye shall count unto
you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought
the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:[
16] Even unto the morrow after the
seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days;
and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.[
16] Even unto the morrow after
the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat
offering unto the LORD.
The 3rd month,
Sivan 9th is on the 27th of May and is a Sabbath
( Sunday ) Feast of Weeks - Pentecost.
Two sabbaths in a row.
The giving of the Torah ( commandments ) and giving of the
Holy Spirit ( Acts 2 and Joel 2:28 ).
-------------------
The
first month
, ha Aviv / Nisan -
unleavened bread
The
second month
, Ziv
-
manna
The
third month
, Sivan -
two wave loaves
baken
with leaven
Exod.12
[8
] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
and unleavened bread; and with
bitter herbs they shall eat it.
[15] Seven days
shall ye eat unleavened bread;
even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever
eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall
be cut off from Israel.
[17] And ye
shall observe the feast of unleavened
bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out
of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations
by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the first
month,
ha Aviv / Nisan, on the fourteenth day of the
month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day
of the month at even.
[20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
shall ye eat unleavened bread.
[39] And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which
they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were
thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves
any victual.
Exod.13
[6
] Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened
bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to
the LORD.
[7]
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven
days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there
be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
---------------------
Exod.16
[1] And
they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children
of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai,
on the fifteenth day of the
second month ( Ziv - 1 Kings 6:1 )
after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
manna
[31] And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna:
and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of
it was like wafers made with honey.
[33] And Moses
said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of
manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to
be kept for your generations.
[35] And the
children of Israel did eat manna forty years
, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat
manna, until they came unto
the borders of the land of Canaan.
Num.11 [1] And when the people
complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was
kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that
were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
mixt multitude -
promiscuous assemblage (of people): - mixt
multitude.
[5] We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;
the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
[7] And the
manna was as coriander seed,
and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
[9] And when
the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
Deut.8
[3
] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
with manna, which thou knewest
not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth
not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of the LORD doth man live.
[16] Who fed
thee in the wilderness with manna
, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that
he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Josh.5
[12
] And the manna
ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of
the land; neither had the children of Israel manna
any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land
of Canaan that year.
Neh.9
[20]
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy
manna from their mouth, and
gavest them water for their thirst.
Pss.78
[24
] And had rained down manna
upon them to eat, and had given them of the
corn of heaven.[
25] Man did eat
angels' food: he sent them meat to
the full.

[17]
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden
manna, and will give him a white stone,
and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth
it.

In the third
month, Sivan ( Exodus 19:1 ) ( Esther 8:9 Sivan
)
Exodus 20 - The Commandments
Lev.23
[15
] And ye shall count unto
you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought
the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:[
16] Even unto the morrow after the
seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days;
and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.[
17] Ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves
We will read Exodus 16 and a protion of 17. Also, Number
11 and John 6 to conclude our reading this Sabbath.
Exod.16 [
1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all
the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin,
which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after
their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Exod.17
[1] And all
the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of
Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched
in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Num.11
[1] And when
the people complained, it displeased
the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of
the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts
of the camp.
and
the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall
give us flesh to eat?
[7] And the
manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
[10] Then Moses
heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his
tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
[11] And Moses
said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore
have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this
people upon me?
[13] Whence
should I have flesh to give
unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we
may eat.
[16] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom
thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring
them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with
thee.
[21] And Moses said, The people, among whom
I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them
flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
[23] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's
hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word
shall come to pass unto thee or not.
[25] And the
LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that
was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that,
when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
John.6
[1] After these
things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
[30] They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
[52] The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh
to eat?
[53] 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.
1John.2
[18
] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even
now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time. [
19]
They went out from us
, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would
no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made
manifest that they were not all of us.
[22] Who is a liar but he that denieth thatYeshua
is the Messiah / Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father
and the Son.
Shalom All
[10] Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean
by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
passover unto the LORD.
[11] The fourteenth day of the
second month at
even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
[12]
They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according
to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
[13] But the man that is clean,
and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same
soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering
of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
[14] And if a stranger shall
sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the
ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he
do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was
born in the land.
[2] For the king had taken counsel,
and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover
in the second month
.
[3] For they could not keep
it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently,
neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
[17] Ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour;
they shall be baken with leaven;
they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
[3]
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when
we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness,
to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
[4] Then said the LORD unto
Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall
go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether
they will walk in my law, or no.
[5] And it shall come to pass,
that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall
be twice as much as they gather daily.
[6] And Moses and Aaron said
unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD
hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
[7] And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory
of the LORD; for that he heareth your
murmurings against
the LORD: and what are we, that ye
murmur against us?
[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening
flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth
your murmurings
which ye murmur
against him: and what are we? your
murmurings are not
against us, but against the LORD.
[9] And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your
murmurings.
[10]
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children
of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of
the LORD appeared in the cloud.
[11] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
[12] I have heard the
murmurings of the
children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and
in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye
shall know that I am the LORD your God.
[2]
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire
was quenched.
[3] And he called the name of
the place Taberah: because the
fire of the LORD burnt among them.[4] And the mixt multitude
that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again,
and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna,
before our eyes.
[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
[3]
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when
we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness,
to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
[4] Then said the LORD unto
Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall
go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether
they will walk in my law, or no.
[5] And it shall come to pass,
that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall
be twice as much as they gather daily.
[6] And Moses and Aaron said
unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD
hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
[7] And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory
of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what
are we, that ye murmur against us?
[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening
flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth
your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings
are not against us, but against the LORD.
[9] And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
[10]
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children
of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of
the LORD appeared in the cloud.
[11] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
[12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of
Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning
ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that
I am the LORD your God.
[13] And it came to pass, that
at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew
lay round about the host.
[14] And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round
thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
[15] And when the children of
Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what
it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given
you to eat.
[16] This is the thing which
the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an
omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every
man for them which are in his tents.
[17] And the children of Israel
did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
[18] And when they did mete
it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
[19] And Moses said, Let no
man leave of it till the morning.
[20] Notwithstanding they hearkened
not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred
worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
[21] And they gathered it every
morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it
melted.
[22] And it came to pass, that
on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man:
and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
[23] And he said unto them,
This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath
unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
[24] And they laid it up till
the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm
therein.
[25] And Moses said, Eat that
to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it
in the field.
[26] Six days ye shall gather
it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
[27] And it came to pass, that
there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they
found none.
[28] And the LORD said unto
Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
[29] See, for that the LORD
hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread
of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place
on the seventh day.
[30] So the people rested on
the seventh day.
[31] And the house of Israel
called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the
taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
[32] And Moses said, This is
the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your
generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
[33] And Moses said unto Aaron,
Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the
LORD, to be kept for your generations.
[34] As the LORD commanded Moses,
so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
[35] And the children of Israel
did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat
manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
[36] Now an omer is the tenth
part of an ephah.
[2] Wherefore the people did
chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may
drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with
me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
[3] And
the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou
hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle
with thirst?
[4] And Moses cried unto the
LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone
me.
[5] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy
rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand before
thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there
shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in
the sight of the elders of Israel.
[7] And he called the name of
the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel,
and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
-------------------
[2] And the people cried unto
Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
[3] And he called the name of
the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
[4] And the
mixt multitude that was among them
fell a lusting:
[5] We remember the fish, which we did
eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the
onions, and the garlick: [6] But our soul is dried
away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
[8] And the people went about,
and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked
it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil.
[9] And when the dew fell upon
the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
[12] Have I conceived all this
people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in
thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which
thou swarest unto their fathers?
[14] I am not able to bear all
this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
[15] And if thou deal thus with
me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight;
and let me not see my wretchedness.
[17] And I will come down and
talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and
will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee,
that thou bear it not thyself alone.
[18] And say thou unto the people,
Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and
ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the
ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with
us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.[19]
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor
twenty days;
[20] But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be
loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you,
and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
[22] Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or
shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
[24] And Moses went out, and
told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the
elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
[26] But there remained two
of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the
other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were
written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
[27] And there ran a young man,
and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
[28] And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them.
[29] And Moses said unto him,
Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets,
and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
[30] And Moses gat him into
the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
[31] And there went forth a
wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the
camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey
on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon
the face of the earth.
[32] And the people stood up
all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the
quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all
abroad for themselves round about the camp.
[33] And while the flesh was yet between
their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the
people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
[34] And he called the name of that
place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
[35]
And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at
Hazeroth.
---------------
[2] And a great multitude followed
him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
[3] And Jesus went up into a
mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
[4] And the passover, a feast
of the Jews, was nigh.
[5] 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?
[6] And this he said to prove
him: for he himself knew what he would do.
[7] Philip answered him, Two
hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them
may take a little.
[8] One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
[9] There is a lad here, which
hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12] When they were filled,
he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing
be lost.
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16] And when even was now come,
his disciples went down unto the sea,
[17] And entered into a ship,
and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was
not come to them.
[18] And the sea arose by reason
of a great wind that blew.
[19] 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.
[20] But he saith unto them,
It is I; be not afraid.
[21] Then they willingly received
him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
[22] 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;
[23] (Howbeit there came other
boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that
the Lord had given thanks:)
[24] When the people therefore
saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping,
and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
[25] And when they had found
him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou
hither?
[26] 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.
[27] Labour 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.
[28] Then said they unto him,
What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
[29] Jesus answered and said
unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
[31] Our fathers did eat manna in
the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
[32]
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.
[33] For the bread of God is
he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
[34] Then said they unto him,
Lord, evermore give us this bread.
[35] And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
[36]
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
[37] All that the Father giveth
me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
[38] For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
[39] 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.
[40] And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[41] The Jews then murmured
at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
[42] 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?
[43] Jesus therefore answered
and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
[44] 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.
[45] 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.
[46] Not that any man hath seen
the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
[47] Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
[48] I am that bread of life.
[49]
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
[50] This is the bread which
cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
[51] I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world.
[54]
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will
raise him up at the last day.
[55] For my flesh is meat indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed.
[56] He that eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
[57] As the living Father hath
sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live
by me.
[58] 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 for ever.
[59] These things said he in
the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
[60] Many therefore of his disciples,
when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
[61] When Jesus knew in himself
that his
disciples murmured
at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
[62] What and if ye shall see
the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
[63] It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit,
and they are life.
[64] 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.
[65] And he said, Therefore
said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him
of my Father.
[66] From that time many of his disciples
went back, and walked no more with him.
[67]
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
[68] Then Simon Peter answered
him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
[69] And we believe and are
sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
[70] Jesus answered them, Have
not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
[71] He spake of Judas Iscariot
the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
