How can you believe, if you accept praise from one another and don’t seek the praise that comes from the only God?

“Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?”

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten.

Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.

Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading.

Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires – to believe in the one whom he sent.”

Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”

Jesus replied, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?”

After this Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He stayed out of Judea because the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him.

For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

So Jesus replied, “My teaching is not from me, but from the one who sent me.

Hasn’t Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?”

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child on the Sabbath.

So then they tried to seize Jesus, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?”

Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
