SCRIPTURE REFERENCES

Ecce sacerdos magnus

Sirach 44:16-27

16Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations.

17Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation.

18Therefore was there a remnant left to the earth, when the flood came.

19The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the flood.

20Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him.

21In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful.

22Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth,

23And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

24And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father.

25The Lord gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob.

26He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes.

27And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh.

Sirach 45:3-20

3He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory.

4He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh.

5For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud.

6And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments.

7He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi:

8He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory,

9And he girded him about with a glorious girdle, and clothed him with a robe of glory, and crowned him with majestic attire.

10He put upon him a garment to the feet, and breeches, and as ephod, and he compassed him with many little bells of gold all round about,

11That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people.

12He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth:

13Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

14And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty.

15Before him there were none so beautiful, even from the beginning.

16No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever.

17His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day.

18Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil.

19This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name.

20He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people:

Ego sum vitis vera

5I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

Ego sum panis vivus

John 6:31-45

31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

34They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.

35And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.

36But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.

37All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.

38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.

40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.

41The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

42And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?

43Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

44No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

45It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.
