ife. Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. For as the
Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have
life in himself: and he gave him authority to execute judgment,
because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh,
in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall
come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

"I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is
righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that
sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. It is
another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which
he witnesseth of me is true. Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne
witness unto the truth. But the witness which I receive is not from
man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved. He was the lamp
that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season
in his light. But the witness which I have is greater than that of
John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the
very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent
me. And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have
neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. And ye have
not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

"Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have
eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; and ye will
not come to me, that ye may have life. I receive not glory from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. I am
come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, who receive
glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye
seek not? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one
that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. For if
ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye
believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"

PLUCKING GRAIN ON THE SABBATH.

At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields;
and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat,
