The one who reaps receives his wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the reaper and the sower may be glad together —

Now Yeshua himself said, "A prophet is not respected in his own country."

He went again to Kanah in the Galil, where he had turned the water into wine. An officer in the royal service was there; his son was ill in K'far-Nachum.

This man, on hearing that Yeshua had come from Y'hudah to the Galil, went and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

As he was going down, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive

The father knew that that was the very hour when Yeshua had told him, "Your son is alive"; and he and all his household trusted.

Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was Shabbat,

This answer made the Judeans all the more intent on killing him — not only was he breaking Shabbat; but also, by saying that God was his own Father, he was claiming equality with God.

Therefore, Yeshua said this to them: "Yes, indeed! I tell you that the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does too.

Don't be surprised at this; because the time is coming when all who are in the grave will hear his voice

He was a lamp burning and shining, and for a little while you were willing to bask in his light.

"In addition, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice or seen his shape;

moreover, his word does not stay in you, because you don't trust the one he sent.

I have come in my Father's name, and you don't accept me; if someone else comes in his own name, him you will accept.

Yeshua went up into the hills and sat down there with his talmidim.

After they had eaten their fill, he told his talmidim, "Gather the leftover pieces, so that nothing gets wasted."

When evening came, his talmidim went down to the lake,

The next day, the crowd which had stayed on the other side of the lake noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Yeshua had not entered the boat with his talmidim, but that the talmidim had been alone when they sailed off.

Accordingly, when the crowd saw that neither Yeshua nor his talmidim were there, they themselves boarded the boats and made for K'far-Nachum in search of Yeshua.

Don't work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is the one on whom God the Father has put his seal."
