Jesus told them, "When your Father is out working, you go and work with him. My Dad is working today and I am too."

"Listen carefully to what I'm fixing to tell you. Those who believe what I am telling you right now, and believe that the God has sent me, that person will live forever in heaven. No sin will be held against a cowboy who believes in me. That cowboy has walked from the land of the dead and crossed the cattle guard to saddle up for eternal life.

My words and my miracles are the testimony of God that I AM who I say I AM. Y'all have never seen God face to voice or heard his voice with your own ears,

Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whoever rides for me will never be hungry again. Whoever gives his life to me will never be thirsty.

I'm standing right here in front of you, but you still don't believe I am who I say I am.

Then some arguing started breaking out because he had said, "I am the bread of life who rode down from heaven."

I am the bread of life.

Remember, I am the living bread that rode down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. This bread I offer the world is my flesh."

I am the real bread that rode down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die in the wilderness like your ancestors did (even though they did eat manna) but will live for eternity."

Jesus was still teaching in the main church while they were talking and he addressed them, "Yeah, you know who I am and where I came from. I didn't come here by myself. I was sent here by the one who is Truth. You don't know him,

You'll think you know where that is, but you don't. And you cannot go where I am headed back to."

Jesus turned back to the crowd and said, "I am the light of the world. Those who ride with me will never ride in the dark. They will live in the light."

Jesus replied, "I don't have to have a witness because I know who I am and where I came from. Just because you don't know these things doesn't make what I said untrue.

And even if I did, my judgment would be absolutely correct every single time because I am not alone. I ride with my Father who sent me to you.

"Where is your father then?" they replied. "Let's hear what he has to say."Jesus said, "If you don't recognize who I am, how can you recognize who my Father is? If you knew me, you would know him."

Jesus repeated himself later, "I am leaving soon. You will look for me, but you'll only find death when your sins catch up to you. You can't find me because you can't go where I am headed."

Jesus continued, "You live in what you can see, hear, feel, and touch. I come from beyond such human standards. You are hobbled to this world. I am not.

This is why I said that you would die when your sins catch up to you. Nothing of this world can save you from your sins. I AM the only one who can save you and you must believe that with all of your soul. If you don't, you are already dead."

So Jesus finally said, "When you have finally strung me up on the cross, then you will know that I AM he. I only do what my Father says for me to do.

I am acting like my Father and y'all are behaving like yours."
