12 For the LORD had said to Abram, “Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.
2 “And I will make a great nation from you, and will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.
3 “I will also bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and in you shall all families of the Earth be blessed.”
4 So, Abram departed, just as the LORD instructed him; and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Then, Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother’s son, and all their substance that they possessed, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan.
6 So, Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, and to the plain of Moreh (and the Canaanite was in the land then).
7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, “To your seed will I give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD Who had appeared to him.
11 Now faith is the confidence of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it our elders were given a good report.
3 Through faith, we understand that the world was ordained by the Word of God, so that the things which we see are not made of things which are visible.
4 By faith, Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain - by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts - also by which he, being dead, still speaks.
5 By faith, Enoch was translated, so that he would not see death. Nor was he found. For God had taken him away. For before he was transformed, it was reported of him that he had pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him. He who comes to God must believe that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
7 By faith, Noah being warned by God of the things which were as yet not seen, moved with reverence, prepared the Ark to the saving of his household (through which He condemned the world), and was made heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he would receive for inheritance afterward. And he went out, not knowing where he went.
9 By faith, he dwelt in the Land of Promise - as in a strange country - living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.
10 For he awaited a city having a foundation whose Builder and Maker is God.
11 Through faith, Sarah also received strength to conceive seed and delivered a child when she was past age, because she judged Him Who had promised faithful.
12 And therefore, even from one who was as good as dead, there sprang so many; as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, which is innumerable.
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to Me shall not hunger, and the one who believes in Me shall never thirst.
36 “But I said to you that you have also seen Me, and do not believe.
37 “All that the Father gives Me, shall come to Me. And the one who comes to Me, I shall not cast away.
38 “For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but His will Who has sent Me.
39 “And this is the Father’s will (Who has sent Me): that of all which He has given Me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 “And this is the will of Him Who sent Me: that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in Him, should have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.”
41 The Jews then grumbled at Him because He said, ‘I am the bread which has come down from Heaven.’
42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, “I came down from Heaven?”
48 “I am the bread of life.
49 “Your fathers ate Manna in the wilderness and are dead.
50 “This is the bread which comes down from Heaven, so that anyone who eats of it should not die.
51 “I am the living bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
