NEW STUFF- [past posts, verses below]
WE DON’T HAVE THE CASH JESUS!
MANNA A SIGN
END NOTES
1- WE DON’T HAVE THE
CASH!
Jesus feeds the
people- how?
One night lots of the people who saw the miracles came to
Jesus.
He says to his men ‘wow- it’s getting late- what shall we do-
lots of people are coming’.
It was a test- to see how his men would react.
One says ‘it would take a lot of money- even 200 hundred
‘penny worth’ can’t feed them’.
See?
His guys are focused on the cash ‘how much will it take to
reach the world’ type thing.
Yet Jesus taught that when we go into the world- to not take
a bunch of stuff with us- but the simple preaching of the gospel- confirmed by
the supernatural power of God- will get the job done.
So- Jesus finds out there’s a kid with 5 loaves of bread-
and 2 fish.
He gives thanks to God- and distributes the small amount to
his men- and they hand it out to the 5 thousand men.
He tells them ‘don’t leave the crumbs’.
And they gather 12 baskets of crumbs!
Jesus was showing us that even though they were money
focused [it will take this much money to accomplish the mission].
Yet his power- and the ability of God to meet all our needs
[in this case- multiplying bread- a type of the Word] did the job.
Remember- when you’re out there doing ministry- and Jesus is
with you- that’s sufficient.
2-MANNA A SIGN
Now- The Jews seek a sign ‘Moses gave us Manna- bread from
heaven- what will you do’?
Jesus said their fore fathers- who ate the Manna- are dead.
But Jesus- the true bread of life- if you eat of him- you
will never die.
Sort of like what he told the woman at the well in John 4-
if you drink the water he gives [Spirit] you will never thirst.
Now- Manna was the bread God gave the children of Israel during
their 40 year journey in the wilderness- and the word meant ‘WHAT IS IT’.
That’s a sign of the actual thing happening in John 6.
Huh?
Jesus was the Messiah- sent down from heaven- yet even
though he was sustaining all things [John chapter 1- ‘the world was made by
him- and knew him not’] yet they did not recognize him [what is it].
See?
3-END NOTES
At the end of the video I teach about the doctrine of Transubstantiation
[huh?] and the development of the teaching on the Eucharist.
It gets a little into the weeds- and I’ve taught it all
before.
Saint Thomas Aquinas of the 13th century- and how
he used the writings of Aristotle to interpret the belief [called
Aristotelianism].
I’m gracious to Catholic Christians in this debate-
believing they too are Christian [while many Protestants do not believe this].
So- I’ll add my past teaching on all of this thru links- for
those who want to get more into it- just go to the links.
PAST POSTS [verses below]
As I end this post- I want
to stress that I do not think suicide is never an option- unless it is a rare
case of protest- for the greater good.
But- dying for a greater
cause- yes- this is indeed a noble thing- scripture actually teaches us this-
Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.m
Believers have the promise
of Christ- that because he passed thru death- we should not fear it- at least
not as much as the unbeliever.
And there are strategic
times- in the plan of God- that dying ‘early’ is indeed in the purpose of God.
Jesus said ‘whoever seeks
to save his life- will lose it- but he that give it up- will gain it’.
In the bigger picture- what
counts in the end is that we lived well- not long.
If an early death
accomplishes more in the plan of God- then that’s a good thing- not bad.
Because like the song says
[below]- many thousands pass that way every day- in reality- it’s a part of
‘life’.
Note- Morrison got the name
for his group from Aldous Huxley’s book ‘The Doors of Perception’. Strangely-
the book- 1st published in 1954- deals with Huxley’s drug trip- on
Mescaline [the drug I took- and seemed to open up a fascination with near death
experiences]. Huxley recorded his own trip on Mescaline- and even used the term
‘sacramental vision’ describing the hallucinations he had.
One of the quotes I found
interesting while researching for this post was ‘We need to experience death
consciousness to awaken to what’s important’ the bible says ‘teach us to number
our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom’.
Another quote- from the
Nihilistic perspective- ‘we are condemned to be free’- without a God
perspective- free will- even when talking about the ‘choice’ to die- has no
real meaning- there really is no higher good served- because life has no
meaning. But- when your death serves a greater purpose [like redeeming mankind]
then it can actually be a virtue- a good thing- if your death impacts others in
a positive way- then yes- it’s not meaningless- to the contrary- it’s
profitable.
Genesis 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Genesis 50:26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Genesis
48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you,
and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
Genesis
49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his
feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
John
10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my
life for the sheep.
John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again.
John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I
have loved you.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh
and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death
he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all
their lifetime subject to bondage.
Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon
the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown,
and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying
with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap:
for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Revelation 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle
on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

MONDAY- ‘For where a testament
is- there must also be the death of the testator’ Hebrews.
I find the interaction between
Jesus and his men interesting. The bible says he spoke in parables- so that the
prophecy from Isaiah might be fulfilled.
What prophecy?
We often think the parables were
intended to be for the purpose of making things easy to understand.
[parts]
. For Aristotle- knowledge is more A-Posteriori- that is we
obtain knowledge about a thing- from the very thing itself. We see/touch and
experience that thing- and by our senses interacting with the substance- we get
knowledge- after the fact.
Okay- to Aristotle all substance has both Form and Matter.
Then what he called substance- had 2 categories as well. The ‘substance’
[actual thing it is] and the Accidens [not accidents- not a typo].
The Accidens was simply the outward appearance- what we see
on the outside. It might not be what the substance really is- or it might.
This teaching would eventually become a major way that our
Catholic friends would come to define the doctrine of Transubstantiation-
during the 13the century the great thinker Thomas Aquinas would re-discover
[and introduce] Aristotle’s teaching back into the church.
In his theological works [Summa Theologica] he would use
Aristotelian thought to explain how the Bread and Wine become the actual Flesh
and Blood of Christ. Thomas explained that the actual substance of the thing
was Flesh and Blood- but the Accidens- what you’re seeing on the outside- looks
like Bread and Wine.
Catholic scholars have debated for centuries on whether or
not they should stick to the hard line teaching from Thomas on this. They are
not challenging the belief in the Real Presence [that Jesus is really there at
the Eucharist] they simply wonder whether or not explaining it this way is
right.
Finally- after many years of certain Catholic scholars
asking this question- in 1965 the Pope [I think it was Paul the 6th?]
put out a Papal Encyclical [an official Vatican teaching] and he stated clearly
that the way Aquinas taught it is the official doctrine of the church- so that
settled that.
Okay- Plato was an Idealist [Dualist] and Aristotle was a
Realist. That’s the major difference.
I will note that Aristotle’s most famous student was
Alexander the Great. And during the great conquests of Alexander he took with
him a whole team of scientists who brought back all types of specimens of
things and he gave them to his famous teacher Aristotle- to advance the cause
of learning at the Lyceum school.
It has been said that Alexander’s efforts at collecting and
bringing these things back after their victories- that this was probably the
most expensive scientific endeavor of all time- right up until the modern space Era.
Note- I try to avoid too many ‘big words’ in these posts.
Not because people don’t understand them- but because I forget how to spell
them! And in this post- there are around 10 words that my spell check has no
idea how to spell- so just a warning- there might be a few misspelled words in
this one.
. (846)ROMANS 8:29-30 ‘for whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed into the image of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also
called: and whom he called, them he also justified: whom he justified, them he
also glorified’. Let’s talk a little. When I first became a Christian I began a
lifelong study of scripture, where I continually read a certain amount of
scripture every day for many years. Over the
[parts]
(980)1ST
CORINTHIANS 11: 1-16 at first I was just going to skip this section and say ‘I
know you didn’t get your moneys worth, but wait, you guys didn’t give me any
money!’ But this would be a cheap shot. So what do we do with portions of
scripture that are difficult? I have heard this taught in a way that says
‘Christ is the head of the church [both men and women- true] and any
distinction between a man being ‘the head’ of the woman only applies to natural
families’. The problem is Paul mixes the analogies ‘Christ is the head of a
man, a man [husband] is the head of the woman [wife], and God is the head of
Christ’. To dissect these verses into a ‘secular/religious’ division is next to
impossible! So what do they mean? I believe the New Testament does teach a type
of functional difference between men and woman. Now, Paul teaches that women
‘can prophesy’ in ‘the church’. He says so in these verses! In Romans 16 Paul
refers to Junia as an apostle and Phoebe as a deaconess. In the Old Testament
Deborah was a mighty judge. Peter says that both sons and daughters will
prophesy [Acts 2, quoting Joel]. I could go on. Then why make a distinction?
Paul gives his rationale in this section. Believers show the order and
submission of the Godhead when they willingly take their God ordained positions
in society. When husbands love their wives as Christ loves the church, God is
glorified. When wives submit [oh no, I can’t believe I said it!] to their
‘loving’ husbands they show the role of Christ’s willful submission to the
Father. And yes, Paul also teaches we all submit to each other in love as well.
Those who see all of Paul’s teaching on women as a cultural thing will have a
problem with the inspiration of scripture. But on the other hand the strong
fundamentalist/literalist also has a problem here. Should we mandate the
wearing of ‘coverings’ [hats] when women prophesy? I don't think so [some do
think so!]. But most fundamentalists have no problem chalking up the ‘hat
wearing’ portion to culture. Also in this debate, one of the obvious questions
is ‘can a woman be a Pastor over a church’? Or Bishop or whatever. Remember, no
one was a ‘Pastor over a church’ like we think until around the 4th
century. So before we judge whether or not it is fair to restrict women from
certain roles ‘in the church’ we need to understand what roles there are ‘in
the church’. Did you ever wonder who was marrying and burying the people for
the first few hundred years of Christian history? It is quite obvious that Paul
and the first century Apostles/Elders were not doing it. So when did the
‘clergy’ pick the practice up? During Constantine ’s
legalization of Christianity in the 4th century, the church took
over the rites and ceremonies from Rome .
The Roman ‘philosopher/speakers’ could be hired to speak a eulogy when someone
died, they could conduct wedding ceremonies. They for the most part were ‘the
Pastors’ of the day! Now we simply took the job from them. Does this mean all
Pastors are pagan funeral directors? No. It simply shows us that when we ask
the question ‘why can’t women be pastors like men’. Maybe the question should
be ‘were men ever supposed to be pastors either?’ [in the contemporary use of
the term] So in this little excursion into history I think we all have some
lessons to learn. The people of God are made up of men and women and Jew and
Gentile, scripture says in Christ there are no more distinctions like this. We
are all considered the Body of Christ equally. Yet this does not mean [in my
view] that everyone does the same job as everyone else. The New Testament
clearly says ‘are all Apostles, all Prophets’. God has distinctions in this
Body. Do these distinctions carry over to the woman/man issue in functionality?
It seems so to me to a degree. Those who are striving for more equality in
function for women, I think the best way to approach it is not to by- pass all
these difficult portions of scripture. But to take the approach that as the
church grows she allows the greater overriding truths of scripture to over
shadow any personal advice given by Paul to a specific church in the first
century. Now I don’t fully take this approach myself, but to a degree many of
us do accept this approach when dealing with the ‘hat/covering issue’. So
instead of just showing you my view, I wanted to paint a little broader
picture. Ultimately how you come down on this is between you and God. Women
most certainly can and do function in Christ’s church today, they always have
and always will.
(983)1ST
CORINTHIANS 11:16-34 ‘When you come together IN THE CHURCH’ [king James
version] ‘when you come together AS THE CHURCH’ [new king James version]. In
this section of scripture we see a real good definition of ‘church’ and also a
bad one. The word for church is found over 100 times in the New Testament [114?
- if I remember right] in every occasion, bar none, it refers to the people of
God. Sometimes it refers to them as ‘coming together’ or simply as ‘the called
out people of God’ [that is they are all spiritually gathered as a community in
Christ]. The word never refers to a ‘church building’ [there is one reference
in James that can seem to indicate a place to meet. James is speaking to Jews,
the synagogue [or Jerusalem
temple] as a building is different from the term for church in Paul’s
letters!]. In the example I just gave you from the king James versions, it
shows you how Gods people viewed this term for church [Ecclesia/Ekklesia] as
time rolled along. The original translators of the King James saw it as ‘a
place you meet in’ the new version saw it ‘as when Gods people come together’.
You say ‘what’s the big difference’? Well I am sure the original translators
meant well, but in actuality there is a big difference between ‘being an
organic family’ or ‘being a building’! As Paul addresses the Corinthians he
says ‘your coming together is not for the better, but for the worse’. They were
using the gathering as a means of self gratification. ‘What can I get out of
this’ type thing. I do see a parallel in much of today’s ‘church meeting’. Do
we see Christianity thru the lens of ‘what am I going to hear this Sunday that
I can implement in my own personal life for self improvement’? This mindset
prevails in today’s church environment. The ethos of Jesus was contrary to
this. He challenged his followers to lay down their rights and desires and seek
another kingdom, one that was not measured by the standards of this world. Paul
rebuked the Corinthians for seeking ‘their own wealth [benefit] and not the
other’s’. He also told them to examine their hearts before coming together so
they would not be judged. I have heard the new generation of church thinkers
[which I am one myself!] kind of mock the old time churches by saying ‘Oh they
tell you communion is some dangerous thing that you must approach with a holier
than thou attitude’. Most mean well when they level this charge, but the ‘old
time churches’ are not without scriptural support for this approach. Paul did
say ‘you guys are too flippant in your attitude towards the Lords table, you
need to straighten up and take more seriously your corporate call to those
around you’. Understand, the celebration of this ‘love feast’ was to ‘show the
Lords death till he come’. Who were they ‘showing it to’? The entire
‘unchurched’ community around them! Their selfless lives of being the community
of God, loving and sharing of themselves as a spiritual family, was for the
intent of having an effective community wide witness. They reminded not only
themselves, but those around them ‘of the Lords death’. It was truly a
corporate witness! Our Catholic brothers might not be as wrong as most
Protestants seem to think. The Catholic Church sees the Eucharist as the
central witness and part of their meetings. The Protestants see the preaching
of the word from the pulpit. Though the Protestants are sincere in their
efforts to teach the word of God, there is a tendency to become ‘pastor/pulpit’
centered, as opposed to being ‘Christ centered’. All in all Paul rebukes and
corrects them based on their self centered actions when meeting together. He
also sees ‘the gathering’ as ‘the church’. Not the place their meeting at! It’s
easy to confuse this when reading ‘when you come together in the church- in one
place’ it sure seems like he can be referring to a church building. Take my
word for it, he’s not.
(984)1ST CORINTHIANS 12:1-6 ‘There are different
gifts, ministries and out workings of the Spirit’ [my paraphrase]. In this
section we see an idea that I feel gets lost in the current paradigm of ‘doing
church’. When Paul addresses a church [community of believers] he is speaking
to all the believers in the city. When we
[PARTS- I added this from a commentary I wrote years ago-
because here Paul talks about the Lords Supper- which I taught on today- here’s
my whole commentary https://ccoutreach87.wordpress.com/1st-2nd-corinthians/
[parts]
The renaissance was the 13-14th century revival of
culture and learning that was lost for centuries- It began in Florence Italy.
The catch phrase for it was ‘Ad Fontes’ meaning ‘back to the sources’- both in
philosophy- as well as in Christian learning.
This began a revival of studying the Greek New testament again
from its original language.
The Catholic Humanist- Desiderius Erasmus [15-16th
century] - re introduced the New Testament in the Greek version [He was
referred to as a Dutch renaissance Humanist- as well as a Catholic Priest and
scholar]
Now- Erasmus was a critic of the Church- like Luther- but chose a
‘middle road’- he did not join the breakaway Protestant Reformers- but chose to
stay within the fold of Rome- while speaking out against the abuses he saw.
But his first Greek translation of the New Testament did indeed
set a spark- because it allowed the Priests to see the bible in its original
language.
And Luther was actually teaching this book of Romans to his
students in Germany when the Reformation began.
Today the Catholic Church [as you can see in the official
Catechism that I have been posting] does indeed teach the bible as God’s Word.
The divisions between Protestants and Catholics are many- but they
did agree that the bible was the Word of God.
Some Protestants do not know this- they think the church holds
Tradition higher than the bible.
No- the church does believe that God speaks both thru tradition-
and scripture.
They see the tradition of the church as simply another means by
which God uses the church [Magisterium] to explain scripture- but the Catholic
Church does not elevate tradition over the bible.
And indeed- it was a catholic scholar- Erasmus- who introduced the
first Geek version of the New Testament.
NOTE- Erasmus disagreed with Luther on the doctrine of Predestination-
which I covered in the last video. Luther was for it- Erasmus was what we would
call ‘Free Will’.
In his writings- which were very influential- he wrote in Greek
and Latin- the language of the elites.
He did this on purpose- for his target was the influential leaders
of the Church.
He rejected offers of money- because he did not want to align
himself with any particular movement- so he could be an independent writer with
no strings attached.
He had many criticisms of the Catholic Church- and was very
influential for the later reforms- those we see at the Council of Trent [Though
the church criticized him- they said he ‘Laid the egg that hatched the
Reformation’].
He taught that the church/priests/popes should be the servants of
the people-
He rejected the idea that the Priests/leaders made up the ‘whole
of the church’- but he believed all believers made up the true church.
Erasmus was a firebrand in his own way- rejecting the language
that Luther and some of the reformers used [they were vulgar at times]-
Luther respected the works of Erasmus- he thanked Erasmus for
debating with him on the nature of Justification by Faith-
He disagreed in the end- but said this debate was at the heart of
the gospel- and was glad that Erasmus was willing to engage.
RENAISSANCE ARTISTS-
The famous renaissance artists- DaVinci- Michelangelo- Raphael-
used their artwork as a form of knowledge- the images taught things- they were
not just paintings.
DaVinci’s most famous work was his painting on the ceiling of the
Sistine chapel in the Vatican.
It took him 4 years to complete.
The renaissance period- from about the 13/14th century
to the 17th- [though there was a sort of Renaissance that took
place- yes- in the Islamic world before the European Renaissance] was marked by
what we term Humanism.
Today we associate this term with ‘secular Humanism’ which often
has a bad connotation- especially among Christians.
But it meant something different back then.
It was a new focus on breaking the limits off of man- and for man
to excel in knowledge and skill- and to see man as having value.
There was somewhat of a break away from the church in a sense- in
that the church and its teachings were not the only source of wisdom for man.
But- Jesus himself taught that ‘the Sabbath was made for man- not
man for the Sabbath’- so- the Humanist spirit- elevating the value of man- does
have a Christian basis in my view.
Leonardo daVinci [15/16th century] was what we refer to
as a true Renaissance man- meaning his knowledge was in many fields- not just
art.
He actually considered himself a sculptor first- then an artist-
though he is most famous for his Fresco mentioned above.

his disciples.
John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great

he would do.
John 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is
not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
John 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
saith unto him,
John 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and
two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
John 6:10 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.
John 6:11 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.
John 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
John 6:13 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.
John 6:14 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.
John 6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and

himself alone.
John 6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto

John 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
John 6:22 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;
John 6:23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto
the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
John 6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking
for Jesus.
John 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the
sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
John 6:26 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.
John 6:27 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.
John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might
work the works of God?
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of
God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is
written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John 6:32 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.
John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from
heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread.
John 6:35 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.
John 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and
believe not.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:39 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.
John 6:40 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.
John 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the
bread which came down from heaven.
John 6:42 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?
John 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among yourselves.
John 6:44 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.
John 6:45 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.
John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is
of God, he hath seen the Father.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
John 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead.
John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a
man may eat thereof, and not die.
John 6:51 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.
John 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John 6:53 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.
John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed.
John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth
in me, and I in him.
John 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
John 6:58 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.
John 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.
John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
John 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured
at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where
he was before?
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:64 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.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can
come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him.
John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we
go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ,
the Son of the living God.
John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and
one of you is a devil?
John 6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it
was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
Psalm 34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many
days, that he may see good?
Psalm 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
guile.
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue
it.
Psalm 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his
ears are open unto their cry.

cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
