But Jesus called for the children,<n id="1" /> saying, &#8220;Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God<n id="2" /> belongs to such as these.<n id="3" />

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, &#8220;One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have<n id="1" /> and give the money<n id="2" /> to the poor,<n id="3" /> and you will have treasure<n id="4" /> in heaven. Then<n id="5" /> come, follow me.&#8221;

And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up<n id="1" /> and said to him, &#8220;Zacchaeus, come down quickly,<n id="2" /> because I must<n id="3" /> stay at your house today.&#8221;<n id="4" />

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, &#8220;What do you want?&#8221;<n id="1" /> So they said to him, &#8220;Rabbi&#8221; (which is translated Teacher),<n id="2" /> &#8220;where are you staying?&#8221;

Andrew brought Simon<n id="1" /> to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, &#8220;You are Simon, the son of John.<n id="2" /> You will be called Cephas&#8221; (which is translated Peter).<n id="3" />p>

Nathanael asked him, &#8220;How do you know me?&#8221; Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,<n id="2" /> I saw you.&#8221;

Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,<n id="1" /> in Cana<n id="2" /> of Galilee. In this way he revealed<n id="3" /> his glory, and his disciples believed in him.<n id="4" />p>

So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture<n id="1" /> and the saying<n id="2" /> that Jesus had spoken.p>

<p class="bodytext">Jesus answered, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> unless a person is born of water and spirit,<n id="2" /> he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him<n id="1" /> to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

Then the father realized that it was the very time<n id="1" /> Jesus had said to him, &#8220;Your son will live,&#8221; and he himself believed along with his entire household.

<p class="bodytext">After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, &#8220;Look, you have become well. Don&#8217;t sin any more,<n id="1" /> lest anything worse happen to you.&#8221;

Then Jesus, when he looked up<n id="1" /> and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, &#8220;Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Jesus said, &#8220;Have<n id="1" /> the people sit down.&#8221; (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.)<n id="2" /> So the men<n id="3" /> sat down, about five thousand in number.

So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats<n id="1" /> and came to Capernaum<n id="2" /> looking for Jesus.p>

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus told them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

<p class="bodytext">Jesus said to them, &#8220;I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.<n id="1" />

and they said, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, &#8216;I have come down from heaven&#8217;?&#8221;

Jesus said to them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,<n id="2" /> you have no life<n id="3" /> in yourselves.
