The Bread Of Life And The Living Vine
1. THE day following, the people which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there had been no other boat there, save the one whereinto his disciples had entered and that Iesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone alone. And when the people therefore saw that Iesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took ship and came to Capernaum, seeking for Iesus.
2. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him,
Rabbi, how camest thou hither?
Yeshua 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 the fruit, and were filled. Labour not for the meat (which perisheth) but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life (which the Son of Man, Who is also the Child of God) shall give unto you, for him hath God the All Parent sealed.
3. Then said they unto him,
What shall we do that we may work the works of God?
Iesus answered and said unto them,
This is the work of God, that ye believe the truth, in me who am, and who giveth unto you, the Truth and the Life.
4. They said therefore unto him,
What sign shewest thou then that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
5. Then Iesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not the true bread from Heaven, but my Parent giveth you the true bread from Heaven and the fruit of the living vine. For the food (of God) is that which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
6. Then said they unto him,
Lord, evermore give us this bread, and this fruit.
And Iesus said unto them,
I am the true Bread, I am the living Vine, they that come to me shall never hunger; and they that believe on me shall never thirst. And verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh and drink the blood (of God)[1] ye have no life in you. But ye have seen me and believe not.
7. All that my Parent hath given to me shall come to me and they that come to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of God who sent me. And this is the will of God who hath sent me, that of all which are given unto me I should lose none, but should raise them up again at the last day.
8. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said I am the bread which cometh down from Heaven. And they said,
Is not this Iesus, the son of Joseph and Mary whose parentage we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from Heaven?
9. Iesus therefore answered and said unto them,
Murmur ye not among yourselves. None can come to me except holy Love and Wisdom draw them, and these shall rise at the last day. It is written in the prophets, They shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned of the Truth, cometh unto me.
10. Not that anyone hath seen the Holiest at any time, save they which are of the Holiest, they alone, see the Holiest. Verily, verily, I say unto you, They who believe the Truth, have everlasting life.
LECTION 30. 8. -The original Gospels know nothing of the modern doctrine of the Anglican Church. Iesus was "the son of Mary and Joseph, whose parentage we know." This does not contradict, but rather suggests (to reconcile with Church doctrine), the Immaculate Conception of both parents to which the Church is now tending.
