¶ The jewes murmured at it, because he said: I am that bread which is come down from heaven.
And the pharises, and scribes grudged saying: He received to his company sinners, and eateth with them.
And when they saw that, they all grudged saying: He is gone, into tarry with a man that is a sinner.
And the scribes and pharises murmured against his disciples, saying: Why eat ye and drink ye, with publicans and sinners?
¶ And this is the record of Ihon: When the jewes sent priests, and levites from Ierusalem, to ask him, what art thou?
For he is the bread of God, which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Iesus answered and said unto them. Murmur not between yourselves.
I am that bread of life.
This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever.
Many of his disciples, when they had heard this, said: this is an hard saying. Who can abide the hearing of it?
¶ From that time many of his disciples went away from him, and companied no more with him.
And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said: He is good. Other said nay, but he deceiveth the people.
Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
¶ These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, whose mouths speak proud things. They have men in great reverence because of advantage.
