約翰福音 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌使五千人吃飽
6 事後，耶穌渡過加利利湖，就是提比哩亞海。 2 許多人因為見過耶穌治病的神蹟，就跟隨了祂。 3 耶穌到了山上，與門徒一起坐下來。 4 那時，猶太人的逾越節快到了。 5 耶穌舉目看見一大群人向祂走來，就對腓力說：「我們到哪裡去買餅給他們吃呢？」 6 祂這樣說是想試試腓力，其實祂知道應該怎麼做。
7 腓力回答說：「就算買二百個銀幣[a]的餅，也不夠他們每人一口啊！」
8 另外一個門徒——西門·彼得的弟弟安得烈對耶穌說： 9 「這裡有個小孩子帶了五個大麥餅和兩條魚。不過，這麼多人，這一點東西實在無濟於事。」
10 耶穌說：「你們叫大家坐下。」那地方草很多，眾人便坐下來，當時在場的男人大約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來祝謝後，分給坐著的眾人，然後又照樣分魚，眾人可以隨意吃。 12 他們吃飽後，耶穌對門徒說：「把剩下的零碎收拾起來，免得浪費。」
13 他們便把大家吃剩的那五個大麥餅的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 14 大家看見耶穌行的這個神蹟，都說：「這人真是那位要來到世上的先知！」 15 耶穌知道他們想強行立祂作王，便獨自退到山上。
耶穌在湖面上行走
16 傍晚的時候，門徒來到湖邊， 17 上了船，去湖對岸的迦百農。天色已暗，耶穌還沒到他們那裡。 18 忽然，湖面上狂風大作，波濤洶湧。 19 門徒搖櫓，大約行了五六公里，突然看見耶穌在水面上朝他們的船走來，他們很害怕。 20 耶穌對他們說：「是我，不要怕。」 21 於是門徒欣然接祂上船，船立刻到了目的地。
生命之糧
22 第二天，留在對岸的眾人看見那裡只有一條船，耶穌沒有和門徒一起坐船離開。 23 後來有幾條從提比哩亞來的小船停泊在岸邊，靠近主祝謝後讓眾人吃餅的地方。 24 他們發現耶穌和門徒都不在那裡，就乘船到迦百農去找祂。
25 他們在湖對岸找到了耶穌，對祂說：「老師，你什麼時候到這裡來的？」
26 耶穌回答說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們找我，並不是因為看見了神蹟，而是因為你們有餅吃，並且吃飽了。 27 不要為那必壞的食物勞苦，要為那存到永生的食物，就是人子要賜給你們的食物勞苦，因為父上帝把這權柄交給了人子。」
28 眾人問祂：「我們要怎樣做，才算是做上帝的工作呢？」
29 耶穌說：「信上帝所差來的那位，就是做上帝的工作。」
30 他們又問：「那麼，你行什麼神蹟讓我們看了可以信你呢？你要做什麼呢？ 31 我們的祖先在曠野有嗎哪吃，正如聖經上說，『祂賜下天糧給他們吃。』」
32 耶穌卻說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，不是摩西從天上賜給了你們糧食，而是我父將天上的真糧食賜給你們。 33 因為上帝賜的糧就是從天降下、賜生命給世人的那位。」
34 他們說：「先生，求你把這種糧食天天賜給我們吧。」
35 耶穌說：「我就是生命的糧，到我這裡來的人必定不餓，信我的人必永遠不渴。 36 但我對你們說過，你們雖然親眼看見我，仍然不信。 37 凡父賜給我的人，必到我這裡來。到我這裡來的，我總不丟棄他。 38 因為我從天上下來，不是要成就自己的旨意，而是要成就差我來者的旨意。 39 差我來者的旨意是，祂所賜給我的，我一個也不失掉，在末日我要叫他們復活。 40 因為我父的旨意是要叫一切看見兒子並相信的人得到永生，在末日，我要叫他們復活。」
41 猶太人聽見耶穌說自己是從天上降下來的糧，就小聲議論， 42 說：「這不是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎？祂的父母，我們都認識，祂現在怎麼能說自己是從天上降下來的呢？」
43 耶穌回答他們說：「你們不用議論紛紛。 44 如果不是差我來的父吸引人到我這裡來，沒有人能來。到我這裡來的，在末日，我要叫他復活。 45 先知書上這樣說，『他們都要受上帝的訓誨』，這裡是指凡聽從父的教導又去效法的人，都會到我這裡來。 46 這並不是說有人見過父，唯獨從上帝而來的那位見過父。 47 我實實在在地告訴你們，信我的人有永生， 48 因為我是生命的糧。 49 你們的祖先在曠野吃過嗎哪，還是死了。 50 但這是從天上降下來的糧，人吃了就不死。 51 我就是天上降下來的生命之糧，人吃了這糧，必永遠活著。我將要賜下的糧就是我的肉，是為了讓世人得到生命。」
52 猶太人開始彼此爭論，說：「這個人怎麼能把自己的肉給我們吃呢？」
53 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，如果你們不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就沒有生命。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人有永生，在末日，我要叫他復活。 55 因為我的肉是真糧食，我的血是真飲品， 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我裡面，我也常在他裡面。 57 永活的父差我來，我是靠祂而活。同樣，吃我肉的人也靠我而活。 58 我是從天上降下來的真糧，吃這糧的人必永遠活著，不像你們的祖先，雖然吃過嗎哪，最後還是死了。」
59 這番話是耶穌在迦百農會堂裡教導人的時候講的。
永生之道
60 祂的許多門徒聽了，就議論說：「這話實在難懂，誰能接受呢？」
61 耶穌知道門徒在議論，就說：「這話叫你們失去信心嗎？ 62 如果你們看見人子升到祂原來所在的地方，會怎麼樣呢？ 63 叫人活著的是靈，肉體毫無作用。我對你們說的話就是靈，就是生命。 64 然而，你們中間有些人不信。」因為耶穌一開始就知道誰不信祂、誰會出賣祂。
65 祂繼續說：「所以我曾對你們說，如果不是我父賜恩，沒有人能到我這裡來。」
66 從此，很多門徒離開了，不再跟從耶穌。
67 於是耶穌問那十二個門徒：「你們也要離開我嗎？」
68 西門·彼得答道：「主啊！你有永生之道，我們還跟從誰呢？ 69 我們已經相信並且知道你是上帝的聖者。」
70 耶穌說：「我不是揀選了你們十二個人嗎？但其中有一個是魔鬼。」 71 耶穌這話是指著加略人西門的兒子猶大說的，因為他是十二個門徒之一，後來出賣了耶穌。

約 翰 福 音 6
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣让五千人吃饱
6 此后，耶稣渡过加利利湖，此湖也叫提比哩亚湖。 2 许多人因为看到他在病人身上显示的奇迹，都跟在他身后， 3 耶稣上了一座小山，和门徒们坐在一起。 4 这时已经快到犹太人的逾越节了。
5 耶稣抬头看见一大群人向他走来，就问腓力∶“我们得到哪里去买足够这些人吃的面包呢？” 6 （耶稣早就知道该怎么做，他这么问只是为了试探腓力。）
7 腓力说∶“花一个月工钱买的面包，还不够这些人每人吃一口的呢。”
8 西门彼得的兄弟安得烈是耶稣的门徒之一，他对耶稣说∶ 9 “这里有个男孩，他有五块大麦面包和两条鱼，可是这对那么多人有什么用处呢？”
10 耶稣说∶“让大家坐下来吧。” 那地方遍地是青草，人们席地而坐，大约有五千个男人。 11 耶稣拿起面包，谢恩之后，把面包分给坐在那里的人，同样，他也把鱼分给了他们，任凭他们随便要多少。
12 等人们都吃饱了，耶稣对门徒说∶“把剩下的东西都收拾起来，不要浪费。” 13 门徒们把这些人分吃五块大麦面包后的剩饭收起来，足足装了满满十二筐。
14 人们看到耶稣所行的奇迹，开始说∶“这个人肯定是即将来临到这个世界的先知。” 15 耶稣知道他们要来强迫他做王，便独自一人离开到山里去了。
耶稣在水面行走
16 到了晚上，耶稣的门徒来到湖边。 17 天已经晚了，耶稣还没有过来，他们上了船，起航渡湖到迦百农去。 18 一阵狂风吹过，湖上的浪越来越大， 19 当门徒们划出五、六公里远时，看见耶稣走在湖面上，他走近船时，他们都吓坏了。 20 但是，耶稣对他们说∶“是我，不要害怕。” 21 然后，他们都高兴地把耶稣接进了船，船立刻就到了他们要去的地方。
寻找耶稣
22 第二天，留在湖对岸的人们看到只有一条船在那里，他们意识到耶稣没有和他的门徒们一起走，而是门徒们自己走了。 23 有几只从提比哩亚来的船，在主谢恩后他们吃面包的地方的附近，靠了岸。 24 人们看见耶稣和他的门徒都不在那里，便上船去迦百农找他。
耶稣-生命之粮
25 他们在湖对岸找到耶稣时，对他说∶“拉比（老师），您什么时候到这里的？”
26 耶稣回答他们说∶“我实话告诉你们，你们来找我，不是因为你们看到了奇迹，是因为你们吃了面包，而且吃得心满意足。 27 不要为会腐烂变质的食物而工作，而应该为永不变质和提供永恒生命的食物而工作，即人子赐予的食物，因为上帝已把他认可的封印贴在了人子身上。”
28 他们问∶“我们该怎么去执行上帝要求的事情呢？”
29 耶稣回答∶“上帝要求你们做的事情是：信仰他派来的人。”
30 他们又问∶“您将行什么样的奇迹给我们看，好让我们相信您呢？您将做什么呢？ 31 我们的祖先在荒野里吃过吗哪，正如《经》上所记载的∶‘他赐给他们从天而降的面包吃。’”
32 耶稣又对他们说∶“我实话告诉你们：摩西没有赐给你们来自天堂的面包，而是我父把来自天堂的真正的面包赐给了你们。 33 因为，上帝的面包是那位降自天堂、并且给这个世界带来生命的那位。”
34 他们说∶“先生，从今往后，一直给我们这种面包吧。”
35 耶稣说∶“我就是赐予生命的面包，到我这里来的人将不会挨饿，信仰我的人也绝不会干渴。 36 正如我以前告诉过你们的那样，你们已经看见我了，可你们还是不相信。 37 父赐给我的人，都会到我这里来，我绝对不会背弃到我这里来的人。 38 因为我从天堂降临，不是来做我自己想做的事，而是执行派我来的人的意愿。 39 这就是派我来的人的意愿：不失去他（上帝）赐给我的任何人，并在末日里让他们复活。 40 因为我父的愿望是让看到人子并信仰他的人都会得到永生，我将在这个时代的末日里让他们复活。”
41 因为耶稣说“我是来自天上的面包”，所以，犹太人开始对他不满。 42 他们说∶“这个耶稣难道不是约瑟的儿子吗？我们难道不认识他父母吗？他现在怎么能说‘我来自天堂呢？’”
43 耶稣回答他们∶“不要私下抱怨了。 44 如果没有差谴我的父的吸引，没有人能到我这里来。我将在这个时代的末日里，让到我这里来的人复活。 45 先知写道∶‘他们都将受上帝的教导。’所有听从父亲话，并且学习父亲的教诲的人都会到我这里来。 46 （除了来自上帝的那位，没有谁见到过父亲，只有他见过。） 47 我实话告诉你们，相信的人会获永生， 48 我是赋予生命的食粮。 49 你们祖先在荒野里吃过吗哪，但是他们死了。 50 然而，这是来自天堂的面包，人可以吃了它而不会死去。 51 我就是来自天堂的活面包，任何人吃了这面包，都会永生不死。这块饼就是我的肉体，我将为这个世界的生命奉献它。”
52 犹太人彼此争论说∶“他怎么能拿自己的肉体让咱们吃呢？”
53 耶稣说∶“我实话告诉你们，如果你们不吃人子的肉、喝他的血，你们就不会有生命。 54 吃我的肉、喝我的血的人，会获得永恒的生命，而且在这个时代的末日里，我将让他复活。 55 因为我的肉体是真正的粮食，我的血液是真正的饮料。 56 吃我的肉、喝我的血的人，我中有他，他中有我。 57 正如活着的父亲派我来，我因为父亲而活一样，那么吃了我的人，也因为我而活。 58 这是来自天堂的面包，不像我们的祖先吃了吗哪，后来还是死掉了，吃了这面包的人，会永远活着。” 59 这番话是耶稣在迦百农一个会堂里传教时说的。
很多门徒离开耶稣
60 耶稣的许多门徒听了这话，说道∶“这些教导难以接受，谁能听他的呢？”
61 耶稣知道他们在嘀咕什么，便对他们说∶“这些教导令你们感到不安了吗？ 62 如果你们看到人子升天回到他原来的地方去，又会怎么样呢？ 63 圣灵赋予生命，肉体毫无用处。我对你们说的话就是圣灵，它们赋予生命。不过你们当中有些人不相信。” 64 （耶稣一开始就知道那些不相信他的人，也知道那个要出卖他的人。）接着他说： 65 “这就是我为什么告诉你们，除非是父亲使人有可能到我这里来，否则没有人能够到我这里来。”
66 从此，耶稣的许多门徒不再跟随他了。
67 耶稣问十二个使徒∶“你们也想离开吗？”
68 西门彼得回答说∶“主，我们到哪儿去呢？您有赋予永生的话， 69 我们信仰您，我们知道您是来自上帝的圣人。”
70 耶稣回答说∶“难道不是我挑选了你们十二个人吗？可是你们之中有一个却是魔鬼！” 71 （他指的是加略人西门的儿子犹大，尽管他是十二使徒之一，后来，他出卖了耶稣。）
John 6
The Message
Bread and Fish for All
6 1-4 After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee (some call it Tiberias). A huge crowd followed him, attracted by the miracles they had seen him do among the sick. When he got to the other side, he climbed a hill and sat down, surrounded by his disciples. It was nearly time for the Feast of Passover, kept annually by the Jews.
5-6 When Jesus looked out and saw that a large crowd had arrived, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread to feed these people?” He said this to stretch Philip’s faith. He already knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered, “Two hundred silver pieces wouldn’t be enough to buy bread for each person to get a piece.”
8-9 One of the disciples—it was Andrew, brother to Simon Peter—said, “There’s a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But that’s a drop in the bucket for a crowd like this.”
10-11 Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” There was a nice carpet of green grass in this place. They sat down, about five thousand of them. Then Jesus took the bread and, having given thanks, gave it to those who were seated. He did the same with the fish. All ate as much as they wanted.
12-13 When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted.” They went to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five barley loaves.
14-15 The people realized that God was at work among them in what Jesus had just done. They said, “This is the Prophet for sure, God’s Prophet right here in Galilee!” Jesus saw that in their enthusiasm, they were about to grab him and make him king, so he slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by himself.
16-21 In the evening his disciples went down to the sea, got in the boat, and headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and Jesus had not yet returned. A huge wind blew up, churning the sea. They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless, but he reassured them, “It’s me. It’s all right. Don’t be afraid.” So they took him on board. In no time they reached land—the exact spot they were headed to.
22-24 The next day the crowd that was left behind realized that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with his disciples. They had seen them go off without him. By now boats from Tiberias had pulled up near where they had eaten the bread blessed by the Master. So when the crowd realized he was gone and wasn’t coming back, they piled into the Tiberias boats and headed for Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
25 When they found him back across the sea, they said, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “You’ve come looking for me not because you saw God in my actions but because I fed you, filled your stomachs—and for free.
The Bread of Life
27 “Don’t waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last.”
28 To that they said, “Well, what do we do then to get in on God’s works?”
29 Jesus said, “Sign on with the One that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works.”
30-31 They waffled: “Why don’t you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what’s going on? When we see what’s up, we’ll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do. Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32-33 Jesus responded, “The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread. The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world.”
34 They jumped at that: “Master, give us this bread, now and forever!”
35-38 Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don’t really believe me. Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don’t let go. I came down from heaven not to follow my own agenda but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
39-40 “This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole. This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time.”
41-42 At this, because he said, “I am the Bread that came down from heaven,” the Jews started arguing over him: “Isn’t this the son of Joseph? Don’t we know his father? Don’t we know his mother? How can he now say, ‘I came down out of heaven’ and expect anyone to believe him?”
43-46 Jesus said, “Don’t bicker among yourselves over me. You’re not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me—that’s the only way you’ll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End. This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, ‘And then they will all be personally taught by God.’ Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to me to be taught personally—to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from me, since I have it firsthand from the Father. No one has seen the Father except the One who has his Being alongside the Father—and you can see me.
47-51 “I’m telling you the most solemn and sober truth now: Whoever believes in me has real life, eternal life. I am the Bread of Life. Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died. But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever. I am the Bread—living Bread!—who came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this Bread will live—and forever! The Bread that I present to the world so that it can eat and live is myself, this flesh-and-blood self.”
52 At this, the Jews started fighting among themselves: “How can this man serve up his flesh for a meal?”
53-58 But Jesus didn’t give an inch. “Only insofar as you eat and drink flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the Son of Man, do you have life within you. The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day. My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you. In the same way that the fully alive Father sent me here and I live because of him, so the one who makes a meal of me lives because of me. This is the Bread from heaven. Your ancestors ate bread and later died. Whoever eats this Bread will live always.”
59 He said these things while teaching in the meeting place in Capernaum.
Too Tough to Swallow
60 Many among his disciples heard this and said, “This is tough teaching, too tough to swallow.”
61-65 Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, “Does this rattle you completely? What would happen if you saw the Son of Man ascending to where he came from? The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this.” (Jesus knew from the start that some weren’t going to risk themselves with him. He knew also who would betray him.) He went on to say, “This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father.”
66-67 After this, many of his disciples left. They no longer wanted to be associated with him. Then Jesus gave the Twelve their chance: “Do you also want to leave?”
68-69 Peter replied, “Master, to whom would we go? You have the words of real life, eternal life. We’ve already committed ourselves, confident that you are the Holy One of God.”
70-71 Jesus responded, “Haven’t I handpicked you, the Twelve? Still, one of you is a devil!” He was referring to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. This man—one from the Twelve!—was even then getting ready to betray him.
