cerning me.
John the Baptist
you sent to John, and he both was
and still is a witness to the truth. But
the testimony on my behalf which 1
accept is not from man; tho I say all
this in order that you may be saved.
He was the lamp that burned and
shone, and for l. time you were will
ing to be gladdened by his light.
The testimony of God Himself
But the testimony which I have is
weightier than that of John: for the
| work the Father has assigned to me
| for me to bring 1t to completion-th,
| very work which I am doing-affords
| testimony concerning me that the
Father has sent me. And the Father
who sent me, He has given testimony
| ever either heard His voice or seen
what He is like. Nor have you His
Word dwelling within you, for you
refuse to believe Him whom He has
sent.
The Old Testament
'"You search the Scriptures, because
| you suppose that in them you will
| find the Life of the Ages; and It is
| those Scriptures that yield testimony
| concerning me; and yet you are un-
willing to come to me that you may
have Life.
Two Sorts of Glory
ST do not accept glory from man,
but know you well, and I know that
in your hearts you do not really love
| representative, and you do not re-
ceive me. If some one else comes
representing only himself, him you
will receive. How is it possible for
you to believe, while you receive glory
| from one another and have no desire
! for hn rr1n a he
only God?
The Jews unfaithful to Moses
DO not suppose that will accuse
you to the Father. There is one who
| accuses you, namely Moses, on whom
your hope rests. For if you believed
| Moses, you would believe me; for he
wrote about me. But If you disbelieve
his writings. how are you to believe
my words?"
| 5000 People fed
| After this Jesus went away across
| the Lake of Galilee Chat is, the Lake
of Tiberias). A vast multitude followed
| Him, because they witnessed the mira
cles on the sick which He was con-
| stantly performing.
Then Jesus went up the hill, and
sat there with His disciples. The Jew
| ish Festival, the Passover, was at
| hand. And when He looked round
and saw an immense crowd coming

| Where shall we buy bread for all
| these people to eat?"
| He said this to put Philip to the
| test, for He Himself knew what He
was going to do.
Seven pounds worth of bread"
replied Philip. 'is not enough for
| them all to get even a scanty meal"
| One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon
| Peters brother, said to Him,
There is d boy here with five bar
ley loaves and a couple of fish: but
what is that among so many?"
| Make the people sit down." said
Jesus.
The ground was covered with thick
/ grass; so they sat down. the adult men
| numbering about 5000. Then Jesus
| took the loaves, and after giving
| thanks He distributed them to those
| also the fish in like manner-as much
as they desired.
When all were fully satisfied, He
( said to His disciples,
Gather up the broken portions that
remain over. SO that nothing be lost"
Accordingly they gathered them up;
and with the fragments of the five
barley loaves-the broken portions
that remained over otter they had
| done eating-they filled twelve bas-
kets. Thereupon the people. having
seen the miracle He had performed,
said.
This is indeed the Prophet who was
to come into the world"
Jesus withdraws into Solitude
Perceiving, however, that they were
about to come and carry Him off by
| force to make him a king, Jesus with
drew again up the hill alone by Him
self When evening came on, His dis
ciples went down to the Lake. There
they got on board a boat, and pushed
off to cross the Lake to Capernaum-
By this time it had become dark, and
/ Jesus had not yet Joined them. The
Lake also was getting rough. because
a strong wind wa blowing. When.
however. they had rowed three or
four miles, they saw Jesus walking on
the water and coming near the boat.
