John
6:32-35:48-51, 58 KJV
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.

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.
48 I am that Bread Of Life.

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.
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.

Of The World: he that followeth Me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have The Light Of life.
John 1:1-9 KJV
1 In the
beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was
God.
2 The same was
in the beginning with God.
3 All things
were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was
made.
4 In Him was Life; and The Life was The Light Of Men.
5 And The Light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a
man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of The
Light, that all men through Him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light.

every man that cometh into the world.
John 3:16-21 KJV
16 For God so
loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that
believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The
Only Begotten Son Of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that Light
is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light,
because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light,
neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds
should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 9:5 KJV
As long as I am in the world, I am The Light Of The
World.

them.

Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in
and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come
that they might have Life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
11 I am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd giveth His
Life for the sheep.
12 But he that
is an hireling, and not The Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the
wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling
fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am The
Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.
15 As The
Father knoweth Me, even so know I The Father: and I lay down My Life
for the sheep.

sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
5 Thou
preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
will dwell in
the house of
The Lord for ever.
