²⁶ Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

³ You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

⁴ O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

⁵ Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

¹⁹ Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

²¹ For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.

¹⁸ For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

¹² Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

¹³ But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

¹⁴ They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

³⁷ And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying,

¹⁹ Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

²¹ You have no part in this business, because your heart is not right before God.

³¹ And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

³⁰ So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

²⁴ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

² And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

⁵ Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

³ Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

⁶⁴ But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.
