49) PEOPLE WANT JESUS FOR
KING
50) JESUS FEEDS THE
MULTITUDE
Mark 6:30-36 (See also
Matt. 14:13-15; Luke 9:10-12; John 6:1-4)
30 And the apostles gathered themselves
together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what
they had taught.
31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves
apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and
going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And they departed into a desert place by
ship privately.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many
knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came
together unto him.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much
people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep
not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his
disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is
far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the
country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they
have nothing to eat.
John 6:5-15 (See also
Matt. 14:16-21; Mark 6:37-46; Luke 9:13-17)
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a
great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread,
that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself
knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth
of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley
loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now
there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had
given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his
disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and
filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which
remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the
miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come
into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that
they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again
into a mountain himself alone.
Matthew 14:22-23 (See
also Mark 6:45-46)
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his
disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he
sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he
went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was
there alone.
51) JESUS WALKS ON WATER
Matthew 14:24-36 (See
also Mark 6:47-56; John 6:16-21)
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the
sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus
went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on
the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for
fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them,
saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it
be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come
down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was
afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst
thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the
wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and
worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 And when they were gone over, they
came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge
of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him
all that were diseased;
36 And besought him that they might only touch
the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
52) JESUS ALIENATES
MASSES WITH BREAD OF LIFE SERMON
John 6:22-71
22 The day following, when the people
which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat
there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went
not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away
alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from
Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had
given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was
not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other
side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because
ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but
for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall
give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we
do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is
the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign
shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as
it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth
you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give
us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of
life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen
me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to
me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath
sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should
raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he
said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of
Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came
down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,
Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father
which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they
shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath
learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save
he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the
wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from
heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that
I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves,
saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye
have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is
drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I
live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from
heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he
taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when
they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his
disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man
ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who
should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that
no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went
back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye
also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom
shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art
that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you
twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon:
for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
John 7:1
1 After these things Jesus walked in
Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
53) CONFLICT WITH SCRIBES
& PHARISEES OVER CLEANLINESS
Mark 7:1-13 (See also
Matt. 15:1-11)
1 Then came together unto him the
Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat
bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except
they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except
they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have
received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of
tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why
walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread
with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath
Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me
with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching
for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye
hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such
like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject
the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy
mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father
or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for
his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect
through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do
ye.
Matthew 15:12-14 (See
also Mark 7:17-19)
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him,
Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which
my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the
blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Mark 7:20-23 (See also
Matt. 15:18-20)
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the
man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and
defile the man.
54) JESUS HEALS A
CANAANITE’S DAUGHTER
Matthew 15:21-25 (See
also Mark 7:24-26)
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed
into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of
the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son
of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his
disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but
unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, help me.
Mark 7:27-30 (See also
Matt. 15:26-28)
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children
first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it
unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes,
Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy
way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she
found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
