Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
006:031 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written,
`He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
006:032 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses
did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father
is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.
006:033 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives
Life to the world."
006:034 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
006:035 "I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall
never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
006:036 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet
you do not believe.
006:037 Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him
who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
006:038 For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek
my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
006:039 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He
has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it
to life on the last day.
006:040 For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze
on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life
of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."
006:041 Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His
claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
006:042 They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son?
Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does
he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?"
006:043 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
006:044 "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him;
then I will raise him to life on the last day.
006:045 It stands written in the Prophets, `And they shall all of them
be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father
and learns from Him comes to me.
006:046 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God.
He has seen the Father.
006:047 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has
the Life of the Ages.
006:048 I am the bread of Life.
006:049 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.
006:050 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man
may eat it and not die.
006:051 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven.
If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever.
Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given
for the life of the world."
006:052 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man,"
they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
006:053 "In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood,
you have no Life in you.
