Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval."

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went-not publicly, but in secret.

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others replied, "No, He deceives the people."

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from."

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me."

So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."

What does He mean by saying, 'You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,' and, 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"

Others declared, "This is the Christ." But still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee?

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse."
