John 6:60-67

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶⁰ These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.

⁶¹ Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?

⁶² But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?

⁶³ If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

⁶⁴ It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.

⁶⁵ But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.

⁶⁶ And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.

⁶⁷ After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.
