has sent. They said to him what miracle do you perform that we may see and
believe in you? What have you performed? Our forefathers ate manna in the
wilderness as it is written. He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Jesus said to
them I say to you it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven. My Father
in heaven gives you the true bread from heaven. The bread of God is he who has
descended from heaven who gives life to whom he will. Jesus said to them I am
the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger and he who believes in
me shall never thirst. I have said to you that you have seen me and yet you do
not believe. Blessed is he who has not seen me and believes.

Moses Divorce Papers

The Pharisees came up to him and were tempting him and saying is it lawful for a
man to divorce his wife for any cause? He said to them what did Moses
command you? They said Moses gave us permission to write a letter of

His disciple asked him about this while they were gathered in the Temple and
said to him if there is so much difficulty between man and woman it is not

to whom it is given. There are eunuchs who were born this way from their
mother’s womb and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men and
there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of

Woman Caught in Adultery

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in
adultery. While in the Temple they had her to stand in the midst before Jesus and
his followers. They said to him. Teacher this woman was caught openly in the act
of adultery. Now in the Law of Moses it is commanded that women such as these
