A paraphrase with notes upon the sixth chapter of St. John with a discourse on humanity and charity / by W. Claget.

V. 31. Our Fathers did eat Manna in the Desert; as it is writ∣ten, He gave them Bread from Heaven to eat.

V. 32. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not that Bread from Hea∣ven; but my Father giveth you the true Bread from Heaven.

V. 33. For the Bread of God is he that cometh down from

Heaven, and giveth life unto the World.

V. 34. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this Bread.

V. 35. And Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of Life: He that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst.

V. 36. But I said unto you, that ye also have seen me, and be∣lieve not?

V. 37. All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.

V. 38. For I came down from Heaven, not to do my own Will, but the Will of him that sent me.

V. 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.

V. 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.

V. 41. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.

V. 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?

V. 43. Jesus there∣fore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among your selves.

V. 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.

V. 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.

V. 46. Not that any man hath seen the Fa∣ther, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

V. 47. Verily veri∣ly I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting Life.

V. 48. I am that Bread of Life.

V. 49. Your Fathers did eat Manna in the Wilderness, and are dead.

V. 50. This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

V. 51. I am the living Bread, which came down from Hea∣ven: 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.

V. 52. The Jews therefore strove amongst themselves, saying, How can this Man give us his Flesh to eat?

V. 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.

V. 54. Whoso eateth my Flesh, and drinketh my Blood, hath eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

V. 55. For my Flesh is Meat indeed, and my Blood is Drink in∣deed.

V. 56. He that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

V. 57. As the liv∣ing Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so, he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

V. 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.

V. 59. These things said he in the Syna∣gogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

V. 60. Many there∣fore of his Disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying, who can bear it?

V. 61. When Jesus knew in himself that his Disciples murmu∣red at it, he said un∣to them, Doth this of∣fend you?

V. 62. What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before?

V. 63. It is the Spi∣rit that quickneth, the Flesh profiteth nothing; The words that I speak

unto you, they are Spi∣rit, and they are Life.

V. 64. But there are some of you that believe not. For Je∣sus knew from the be∣ginning, who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

V. 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.

V. 66. From that time many of his Dis∣ciples went back, and walked no more with him.

V. 67. Then said Jesus unto the Twelve, Will ye also go away?

V. 68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

V. 69. And we be∣lieve, and are sure that thou art that Christ the Son of the living God.

V. 70. Jesus answer∣ed them, Have not I chosen you Twelve, and one of you is a Devil?

V. 71. He spake of Judas Iscariot the Son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the Twelve.
