¹ 主はモーセに言われた。

² 「正月の元日にあなたは会見の天幕なる幕屋を建てなければならない。

³ そして、その中にあかしの箱を置き、垂幕で、箱を隔て隠し、

⁴ また、机を携え入れ、それに並べるものを並べ、燭台を携え入れて、そのともしびをともさなければならない。

⁵ あなたはまた金の香の祭壇を、あかしの箱の前にすえ、とばりを幕屋の入口にかけなければならない。

⁶ また燔祭の祭壇を会見の天幕なる幕屋の入口の前にすえ、

⁷ 洗盤を会見の天幕と祭壇との間にすえて、これに水を入れなければならない。

⁸ また周囲に庭を設け、庭の門にとばりをかけなければならない。

⁹ そして注ぎ油をとって、幕屋とその中のすべてのものに注ぎ、それとそのもろもろの器とを聖別しなければならない、こうして、それは聖となるであろう。

¹⁰ あなたはまた燔祭の祭壇と、そのすべての器に油を注いで、その祭壇を聖別しなければならない。こうして祭壇は、いと聖なるものとなるであろう。

¹¹ また洗盤と、その台とに油を注いで、これを聖別し、

¹² アロンとその子たちを会見の幕屋の入口に連れてきて、水で彼らを洗い、

¹³ アロンに聖なる服を着せ、これに油を注いで聖別し、祭司の務をさせなければならない。

¹⁴ また彼の子たちを連れてきて、これに服を着せ、

¹⁵ その父に油を注いだように、彼らにも油を注いで、祭司の務をさせなければならない。彼らが油そそがれることは、代々ながく祭司職のためになすべきことである」。

¹⁶ モーセはそのように行った。すなわち主が彼に命じられたように行った。

¹⁷ 第二年の正月になって、その月の元日に幕屋は建った。

¹⁸ すなわちモーセは幕屋を建て、その座をすえ、その枠を立て、その横木をさし込み、その柱を立て、

¹⁹ 幕屋の上に天幕をひろげ、その上に天幕のおおいをかけた。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

²⁰ 彼はまたあかしの板をとって箱に納め、さおを箱につけ、贖罪所を箱の上に置き、

²¹ 箱を幕屋に携え入れ、隔ての垂幕をかけて、あかしの箱を隠した。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

²² 彼はまた会見の天幕なる幕屋の内部の北側、垂幕の外に机をすえ、

²³ その上にパンを列に並べて、主の前に供えた。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

²⁴ 彼はまた会見の天幕なる幕屋の内部の南側に、机にむかい合わせて燭台をすえ、

²⁵ 主の前にともしびをともした。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

²⁶ 彼は会見の幕屋の中、垂幕の前に金の祭壇をすえ、

²⁷ その上に香ばしい薫香をたいた。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

²⁸ 彼はまた幕屋の入口にとばりをかけ、

²⁹ 燔祭の祭壇を会見の天幕なる幕屋の入口にすえ、その上に燔祭と素祭をささげた。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

³⁰ 彼はまた会見の天幕と祭壇との間に洗盤を置き、洗うためにそれに水を入れた。

³¹ モーセとアロンおよびその子たちは、それで手と足を洗った。

³² すなわち会見の天幕にはいるとき、また祭壇に近づくとき、そこで洗った。主がモーセに命じられたとおりである。

³³ また幕屋と祭壇の周囲に庭を設け、庭の門にとばりをかけた。このようにしてモーセはその工事を終えた。

³⁴ そのとき、雲は会見の天幕をおおい、主の栄光が幕屋に満ちた。

³⁵ モーセは会見の幕屋に、はいることができなかった。雲がその上にとどまり、主の栄光が幕屋に満ちていたからである。

³⁶ 雲が幕屋の上からのぼる時、イスラエルの人々は道に進んだ。彼らはその旅路において常にそうした。

³⁷ しかし、雲がのぼらない時は、そののぼる日まで道に進まなかった。

³⁸ すなわちイスラエルの家のすべての者の前に、昼は幕屋の上に主の雲があり、夜は雲の中に火があった。彼らの旅路において常にそうであった。

¹³ これは彼とその後の子孫に永遠の祭司職の契約となるであろう。彼はその神のために熱心であって、イスラエルの人々のために罪のあがないをしたからである』と」。

¹ After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

² A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

³ Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

⁴ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

⁵ Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

⁶ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

⁹ "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

¹⁰ Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

¹² When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."

¹³ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

¹⁴ When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

¹⁶ When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

¹⁹ When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰ But he said to them, "It is I. Don't be afraid."

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

²² On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

²³ However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

²⁴ When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

²⁶ Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷ Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

²⁸ They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"

²⁹ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

³⁰ They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"

³² Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

³³ For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

³⁴ They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

³⁵ Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

³⁶ But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.

³⁷ All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³⁹ This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁰ This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

⁴² They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

⁴³ Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

⁴⁶ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

⁵² The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down out of heaven--not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

⁵⁹ He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?"

⁶¹ But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

⁶² Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

⁶³ It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁴ But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

⁶⁵ He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

⁶⁶ At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?"

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

⁷¹ Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
