King James Bible

20:1 And it came to pass that he commanded the multitude that they should cease to pray, and also his disciples. And he commanded them that they should not cease to pray in their hearts.

20:2 And he commanded them that they should arise and stand up upon their feet. And they arose up and stood upon their feet.

20:3 And it came to pass that he brake bread again and blessed it, and gave to the disciples to eat.

20:4 And when they had eaten he commanded them that they should break bread, and give unto the multitude.

20:5 And when they had given unto the multitude he also gave them wine to drink, and commanded them that they should give unto the multitude.

20:6 Now, there had been no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude;

20:7 But he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink.

20:8 And he said unto them: He that eateth this bread eateth of my body to his soul; and he that drinketh of this wine drinketh of my blood to his soul; and his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but shall be filled.

20:9 Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold, they were filled with the Spirit; and they did cry out with one voice, and gave glory to Jesus, whom they both saw and heard.

20:10 And it came to pass that when they had all given glory unto Jesus, he said unto them: Behold now I finish the commandment which the Father hath commanded me concerning this people, who are a remnant of the house of Israel.

20:11 Ye remember that I spake unto you, and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled—behold they are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them—

5:8¶ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

3:22For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
