Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;

The Bible (Old and New Testaments)
John
no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;
it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;
not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;
I am the bread of the life;
your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;
this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
'I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'
The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;
for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.
'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;
this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.'
These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'
And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?
if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?
the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,
and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'
From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,
Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to go away?'
Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;
and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Jesus answered them, 'Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.
And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,
and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —
his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;
for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;'
for not even were his brethren believing in him.
Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'
and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;
the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'
and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'
no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.
And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,
and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters — not having learned?'
Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.
'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'
The multitude answered and said, 'Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'
Jesus answered and said to them, 'One work I did, and ye all wonder,
because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'
Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'
They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,
and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — 'The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?'
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;
ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'
The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;
what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'
And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 'If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;
he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'
and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'
others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?
Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?'
A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.
And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;
the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?'
The officers answered, 'Never so spake man — as this man.'
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?
did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'
Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,
'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'
They answered and said to him, 'Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;'
and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
