[1] Matt. xiv. 25.And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came unto them, walking upon the [2] John vi. 19a, c.water, after they had rowedLit. travelled. with difficulty about twenty-five or thirty furlongs. [3] Matt. xiv. 26.And when he drew near unto their boat, his disciples saw him walking on the water; and they were troubled, and supposed that it was a false appearance; and they cried [4] out from their fear. Matt. xiv. 27.But Jesus straightway spoke unto them, and said, Take courage, [5] for it is I; fear not. Matt. xiv. 28.Then Cephas answered and said unto him, My Lord, if it be thou, [6] bid me to come unto thee on the water. Matt. xiv. 29.And Jesus said unto him, Come. And [7] Cephas went down out of the boat, and walked on the water to come unto Jesus. Matt. xiv. 30.But [Arabic, p. 74] when he saw the wind strong, he feared, and was on the point of sinking; [8] and he lifted up his voice, and said, My Lord, save me. Matt. xiv. 31.And immediately our Lord stretched out his hand and took hold of him, and said unto him, [9] Thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? Matt. xiv. 32.And when Jesus came near, he went up [10] unto them into the boat, he and Simon, and immediately the wind ceased. Matt. xiv. 33.And those that were in the ship came and worshipped him, and said, Truly thou art the [11] Son of God. John vi. 21b.And straightway that ship arrived at the land which they made for. [12] Mark vi. 54a; Mark vi. 51b.And when they came out of the ship to the land, they marvelled greatly and were [13] perplexed in themselves: Mark vi. 52.and they had not understood by means ofLit. from. that bread, because their heart was gross.
[14] Mark vi. 54; Mark vi. 55.And when the people of that region knew of the arrival of Jesus, they made haste in all that land, and began to bring those that were diseased,Strictly used of severe chronic disease. borne in their [15] beds to the place where they heard that he was. Mark vi. 56.And wheresoever the place might be which he entered, of the villages or the cities, they laid the sick in the markets, and sought of him that they might touchcf. § 12, 13, and note to § 8, 17. were it only the edge of his garment: and all that touchedThe word used at § 12, 35. him were healed and lived.Or, revived, i.e., made to live.
[16] John vi. 22a.And on the day after that, the multitude which was standing on the shore of the sea saw that there was there no other ship save that into which the disciples had [17] gone up, John vi. 23.and that Jesus went not up into the ship with his disciples (but there were other ships from Tiberias nearLit. on the border of. the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed [18] it): John vi. 24.and when that multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor yet his disciples, they [19] [Arabic, p. 75] went up into those ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought Jesus. John vi. 25.And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Our [20] Master, when camest thou hither? John vi. 26.Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye have not sought me because ofOr, for the sake of. your seeing the signs, but because of [21] your eating the bread and being satisfied. John vi. 27.Serve not the food which perisheth, but the food which abideth in eternal life,Sic. which the Son of man will give unto you: himLit. this. [22] hath God the Father sealed. John vi. 28.They said unto him, What shall we do that we may [23] work the work of God? John vi. 29.Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of [24] God, that ye believe in him whom he hath sent. John vi. 30.They said unto him, What sign hast thou done, that we may see, and believe in thee? what hast thou wrought? [25] John vi. 31.Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it was written, Bread from heaven [26] gave he them to eat. John vi. 32.Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not bread from [27] heaven; but my Father gaveRepresents a mistaken vocalisation of the Peshitta. you the bread of truthLit. equity; see above, § 3, 53, note. from heaven. John vi. 33.The bread of God is that which came down from heaven and gave the [28, 29] world life. John vi. 34.They said unto him, Our Lord, give us at all times this bread. John vi. 35.Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: whosoever cometh unto me shall not hunger, [30] and whosoever believeth in me shall not thirst for ever. John vi. 36.But I said unto you, [31] Ye have seen me, and have not believed. John vi. 37.And all that my Father hath given to me cometh unto me; and whosoever cometh unto me I shall not cast him forth without. [32] John vi. 38.I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of him [33] that sent me; John vi. 39.and this is the will of him that sent me, that I should lose nothing of [34] [Arabic, p. 76] that which he gave me, but raise it up in the last day. John vi. 40.This is the will of my Father, that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day.
[35] John vi. 41.The Jews therefore murmured against him because of his saying, I am the bread [36] which came down from heaven. John vi. 42.And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? then how saith this man, I came down from [37, 38] heaven? John vi. 43.Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not one with another. John vi. 44.No man is able to come unto me, except the Father which sent me draw him; and I will [39] raise him up in the last day. John vi. 45.It is written in the prophet, They shall all be the taught of God. Every one who heareth from the Father now,i.e., therefore (see note, § 9, 21). and learneth of him, cometh [40] unto me. John vi. 46.No man now seeth the Father; but he that is from God, he it is that seeth [41] the Father. John vi. 47.Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me hath eternal [42, 43] life. John vi. 48.I am the bread of life. John vi. 49.Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and [44] they died. John vi. 50.This is the bread which came down from heaven, that a man may eat [45] of it, and not die. John vi. 51.I am the bread of life which came down from heaven: and if a man eat of this bread he shall live for ever: John vi. 51b; in Ciasca’s text John vi. 51b–71 are cited as vi. 52–72. (See Introduction, 20, note.)and the bread which I shall give is my body, which I give for the life of the world.
[46] John vi. 52.The Jews therefore quarrelled one with another, and said, How can he give us [47] [Arabic, p. 77] his body that we may eat it? John vi. 53.Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye do not eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye shall [48] not have life in yourselves. John vi. 54.Whosoever eateth of my body and drinketh of my blood [49] hath eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. John vi. 55.My body truly is meat,Or, eaten. and [50] my blood truly is drink.Or, drunk. John vi. 56.Whosoever eateth my body and drinketh my blood abideth [51] in me, and I in him—John vi. 57.as the living Father sent me, and I am alive because of the [52] Father; and whosoever eateth me, he also shall live because of me. John vi. 58.This is the bread which came down from heaven: and not according as your fathers ate the [53] manna, and died: whosoever eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John vi. 59.This he said in [54] the synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum. John vi. 60.And many of his disciples, when they heard, said, This word is hard; who is he that can hear it?
