五饼二鱼
6 这些事以后，耶稣渡过加利利湖[a]，也就是太巴列湖，到对岸去。 2 有一大群人，因为看到他在病人身上所行的神迹，就跟随他。
3 耶稣上了山，与他的门徒们在那里坐下。 4 那时犹太人的逾越节快到了。 5 耶稣举目观看，见一大群人向他走来，就对腓力说：“我们从哪里买饼给这些人吃呢？” 6 他说这话是要试试腓力，其实他自己已经知道要做什么了。
7 腓力回答：“就是两百个银币[b]的饼，也不够每个人吃一小块！”
8 他的一个门徒，就是西门彼得的弟弟安得烈，对耶稣说： 9 “这里有个孩子，带了五个大麦饼和两条鱼。可是对这么多人，这些算什么呢？”
10 耶稣说：“让他们坐下来。”
那地方草多，他们坐了下来；男人的数目约有五千。 11 耶稣就拿起饼来，祝谢以后，分给那些坐着的人[c]，把鱼也如此分了，他们要多少就给多少。
12 大家吃饱了以后，耶稣就对他的门徒们说：“把剩下的碎块收拾起来，免得浪费。” 13 他们就把大家吃剩的那五个大麦饼的碎块收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。
14 众人看见耶稣所行的神迹，就说：“这个人确实是那位要来到世上的先知！” 15 耶稣看出他们要来强迫他做王，就又独自退到山上去了。
在水面上行走
16 到了晚上，他的门徒们下到湖边。 17 他们上了船，开始渡过湖往迦百农去。原来天色已经黑了，而耶稣还没有来到他们那里。 18 当时，大风吹起，湖水翻腾。 19 他们已经划了约有四、五公里[d]，看到耶稣在湖面上行走，逐渐向船靠近，他们就感到惧怕。
20 耶稣对他们说：“是我，不要怕！” 21 门徒们这才愿意接他上船。船立刻就到了他们所要去的地方。
生命的粮
22 第二天，留在湖对岸的众人，知道在那里除了一条小船之外[e]，没有别的船；而且知道耶稣没有和他的门徒们一起上船，是门徒们自己去的。 23 有几条别的小船从太巴列城来，靠近主祝谢后众人吃饼的地方。 24 这样，众人一发现耶稣已经不在那里，连他的门徒们也不在那里，就上了船，往迦百农去找耶稣。
25 他们在湖的对岸找到了耶稣，就问他：“拉比，你是什么时候到这里来的？”
26 耶稣回答说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：你们找我，并不是因为看见了神迹，而是因为你们吃饼吃饱了。 27 不要为那会腐败的食物做工，而要为那存留到永生的食物做工。这食物就是人子要给你们的，因为人子是父神所印证的。”
28 他们问：“我们应该做什么，才算做神的工作呢？”
29 耶稣回答说：“信神所派来的那一位，就是做神的工作。”
30 他们就问：“那么，你行个什么神迹，好让我们看了就可以信你呢？你可以做什么呢？ 31 我们的祖先在旷野吃了吗哪，正如经上所记：‘他把从天上来的粮赐给他们吃。’[f]”
32 耶稣对他们说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的，而是我父把从天上来的真粮赐给了你们。 33 要知道，神的粮就是从天上降下来、赐生命给世人的那一位。”
34 他们就对耶稣说：“主啊，请你时常把这粮赐给我们！”
35 耶稣对他们说：“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的人，绝不饥饿；信我的人，永不干渴。 36 但是我告诉过你们，你们虽然看到了我[g]，还是不信。 37 凡是父赐给我的人，都会到我这里来，而到我这里来的人，我绝不丢弃[h]， 38 因为我从天上降下来，不是要行自己的意思，而是要行那派我来者的意思。 39 那派我来者[i]的旨意，就是要我不失去他赐给我的任何人，而且要我在末日使他复活。 40 要知道，我父[j]的旨意正是：所有看见子而信他的人都得到永恒的生命，并且在末日，我将要使他复活。”
41 这时候，一些犹太人因为耶稣说‘我是从天上降下来的粮’，就私下议论他， 42 并说：“这不就是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗？我们不都认识他的父母吗？现在他怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’呢？”
43 耶稣就对他们说：“你们不要彼此议论了。 44 如果不是派我来的父引领他，没有人能到我这里来；到我这里来的，在末日我还要使他复活。 45 先知书上记着：‘他们都将成为神所教导的人。’[k]任何人听了并领会了从父而来的教导，就会到我这里来。 46 这并不是说，有谁看到父；只有从神而来的那一位，他才看到父。
47 “我确确实实地告诉你们：信我[l]的人，就有永恒的生命。 48 我就是生命的粮。 49 你们的祖先在旷野吃了吗哪，还是死了。 50 那从天上降下来、让人吃了而不死的粮，就在这里。 51 我就是从天上降下来的生命的粮。人如果吃了这粮，就将活着，直到永远。我要赐的粮就是我的肉身，是为了世人的生命所赐的[m]。”
52 于是那些犹太人彼此争论，说：“这个人怎么能把自己的肉身给我们吃呢？”
53 耶稣说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：如果你们不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，你们里面就没有生命。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人，就有永恒的生命，在末日我还要使他复活； 55 因为我的肉是真食物，我的血是真饮物。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人，住在我里面，我也住在他里面。 57 永生的父怎样差派了我，我又因父而活，照样，以我为食的人也将因我而活。 58 这才是从天上降下来的粮，不像吗哪。你们的[n]祖先吃过吗哪还是死了，而吃这粮的人就将活着，直到永远。”
59 这些话是耶稣在迦百农教导人的时候，在会堂里说的。
许多门徒离开耶稣
60 他的门徒当中有许多人听了，就说：“这话实在严厉，谁能听呢？”
61 耶稣自己里面知道他的门徒们为这话私下议论，就对他们说：“这话绊倒你们[o]吗？ 62 所以，如果你们看见人子升到他原先所在的地方，你们会怎么样呢？ 63 赐人生命的是灵[p]，肉体没有什么用。我对你们说的话就是灵，就是生命。 64 然而你们当中有一些不信的人。”原来，耶稣从起初就知道哪些人不[q]信，也知道哪一个人要出卖他。 65 耶稣又说：“所以我告诉过你们：如果不是蒙父所赐，没有人能到我这里来。”
66 从此耶稣的门徒中有许多人离开回到背后的事上，不再与他同行。 67 耶稣就对十二使徒[r]说：“你们也不会想离开吧？”
68 西门彼得回答：“主啊，你有永恒生命的话语，我们还去归从谁呢？ 69 我们已经相信，也知道你就是神的那位圣者。[s]”
70 耶稣对他们说：“我不是拣选了你们十二使徒吗？可是你们当中有一个是魔鬼。” 71 耶稣说的是加略人西门的儿子[t]犹大；这个人虽然是十二使徒中的一个，后来却要出卖耶稣。

给五千人吃饱的神迹(A)
6 这些事以后，耶稣渡过加利利海，就是提比里亚海。 2 有一大群人，因为看见了他在病人身上所行的神迹，就跟随了他。 3 耶稣上了山，同门徒坐在那里。 4 那时犹太人的逾越节近了。 5 耶稣举目观看，见一大群人向他走过来，就对腓力说：“我们从哪里买饼给这些人吃呢？” 6 他说这话，是要试验腓力，因他自己早已知道要怎样作。 7 腓力回答：“就算二百银币买的饼，每人分一点，也是不够的。” 8 有一个门徒，就是西门．彼得的弟弟安得烈，对耶稣说： 9 “这里有个小孩子，带着五个大麦饼、两条鱼；只是分给这么多人，有甚么用呢？” 10 耶稣吩咐他们：“你们叫众人坐下。”原来那地方的草很多，众人就坐下，单是男人的数目约有五千。 11 耶稣拿起饼来，祝谢了，就分给坐着的人；分鱼也是这样，都是随着他们所要的。 12 他们吃饱了之后，耶稣对门徒说：“把剩下的零碎收拾起来，免得浪费。” 13 门徒就把众人吃剩那五个大麦饼的零碎收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。 14 众人看见耶稣所行的神迹，就说：“这真是那要到世上来的先知。” 15 耶稣知道群众要来强迫他作王，就独自又退到山上去了。
耶稣在海面上行走(B)
16 到了晚上，他的门徒下到海边去。 17 他们上了船，要渡海往迦百农去。那时天已经黑了，耶稣还没有到他们那里。 18 忽然海上起了狂风，波浪翻腾。 19 门徒摇橹约行了五六公里，看见耶稣在海面上行走，渐渐靠近船，就害怕起来。 20 耶稣对他们说：“是我，不要怕。” 21 他们这才把他接上船，船就立刻到了他们要去的地方。
耶稣是生命的食物
22 第二天，站在海那边的群众，看见只有一只小船留在那里，并且知道耶稣没有和他的门徒一同上船，门徒是自己去的； 23 不过有几只从提比里亚来的船停在那里，靠近他们在主祝谢以后吃饼的地方。 24 群众见耶稣和门徒都不在那里，就上船往迦百农去找耶稣。 25 他们在对岸找到了耶稣，就问他：“拉比，你几时到这里来的？” 26 耶稣回答：“我实实在在告诉你们，你们找我，不是因为看见了神迹，而是因为吃了饼又吃饱了。 27 不要为那必朽坏的食物操劳，却要为那存到永生的食物操劳，就是人子所要赐给你们的，因为人子是父 神所印证的。” 28 众人又问他：“我们应该作甚么，才算是作 神的工作呢？” 29 耶稣回答：“信 神所差来的，就是作 神的工了。” 30 于是他们就说：“你要行甚么神迹，让我们看了就信你呢？你到底能作甚么呢？ 31 我们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪，正如经上所记：‘他把从天上来的食物赐给他们吃。’” 32 耶稣对他们说：“我实实在在告诉你们，不是摩西把那从天上来的食物赐给你们，而是我父把天上来的真食物赐给你们； 33 因为 神的食物就是从天上降下来，把生命赐给世人的那一位。”
34 他们对耶稣说：“主啊，求你常把这食物赐给我们。” 35 耶稣说：“我就是生命的食物，到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴。 36 但我告诉你们，你们虽然见了我，还是不信。 37 凡是父赐给我的人，必到我这里来；到我这里来的，我决不丢弃他， 38 因为我从天上降下来，不是要行自己的意思，而是要行那差我来者的旨意。 39 那差我来者的旨意就是：他所赐给我的人，我连一个也不失落，并且在末日我要使他们复活。 40 因为我父的旨意，是要使所有看见了子而信的人有永生，并且在末日我要使他们复活。”
41 犹太人因为耶稣说“我是从天上降下来的食物”，就纷纷议论他。 42 他们说：“这不是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗？他的父母我们不都认识吗？他现在怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’呢？” 43 耶稣回答：“你们不要彼此议论。 44 如果不是差我来的父吸引人，就没有人能到我这里来；到我这里来的，在末日我要使他复活。 45 先知书上记着：‘众人都必受 神的教导。’凡听见从父那里来的教训而又学习的，必到我这里来。 46 这不是说有人见过父；只有从 神那里来的那一位，他才见过父。 47 我实实在在告诉你们，信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的食物， 49 你们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪，还是死了。 50 这是从天上降下来的食物，使人吃了就不死。 51 我就是从天上降下来生命的食物，人若吃了这食物，就必活到永远。我要赐的食物就是我的肉，是为了世人的生命而赐的。”
52 于是，犹太人彼此争论，说：“这个人怎能把他的肉给我们吃呢？” 53 耶稣就对他们说：“我实实在在告诉你们，你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的，就有永生，在末日我要使他复活； 55 因为我的肉是真正的食物，我的血是真正的饮料。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人，就住在我里面，我也住在他里面。 57 正如永活的父差遣了我，我也因父活着；照样，吃我肉的人也必因我而活。 58 这就是从天上降下来的食物，不像吗哪，你们的祖宗吃过，还是死了；吃这食物的，必活到永远。” 59 这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教导人的时候说的。
永生之道
60 他的门徒中，有许多人听了，就说：“这话很难，谁能接受呢？” 61 耶稣心里知道门徒为了这事议论纷纷，就对他们说：“这话使你们动摇吗？ 62 如果你们看见人子升到他原来所在的地方，又怎样呢？ 63 使人活的是灵，肉体是无济于事的。我对你们所说的话是灵、是生命。 64 然而你们中间却有不信的人。”原来从起初耶稣就知道那些不信的是谁，那要把他出卖的又是谁。 65 耶稣跟着说：“所以我对你们说过，如果不是父所赐的，没有人能到我这里来。”
66 从此，他的门徒中有许多人退去了，不再与他同行。 67 于是耶稣对十二门徒说：“你们也想离去吗？” 68 西门．彼得回答：“主啊，你有永生之道，我们还跟从谁呢？ 69 我们已经相信，并且知道你是 神的圣者。” 70 耶稣说：“我不是拣选了你们十二个人吗？但你们中间有一个是魔鬼。” 71 耶稣这话是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的，因为他虽然是十二门徒之一，却要出卖耶稣。

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(A)
6 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs(B) he had performed by healing the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside(C) and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Festival(D) was near.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,(E) “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,(F) spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”(G)
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks,(H) and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14 After the people saw the sign(I) Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”(J) 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king(K) by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.(L)
Jesus Walks on the Water(M)
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water;(N) and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”(O) 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake(P) realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.(Q) 23 Then some boats from Tiberias(R) landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.(S) 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,(T) when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,(U) not because you saw the signs(V) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures(W) to eternal life,(X) which the Son of Man(Y) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal(Z) of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe(AA) in the one he has sent.”(AB)
30 So they asked him, “What sign(AC) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?(AD) What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna(AE) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”(AF)
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven(AG) and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(AH)
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(AI) the bread of life.(AJ) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(AK) in me will never be thirsty.(AL) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(AM) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(AN) not to do my will but to do the will(AO) of him who sent me.(AP) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(AQ) but raise them up at the last day.(AR) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(AS) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(AT) and I will raise them up at the last day.”
41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,(AU) whose father and mother we know?(AV) How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”(AW)
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,(AX) and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[d](AY) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God;(AZ) only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.(BA) 48 I am the bread of life.(BB) 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.(BC) 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,(BD) which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread(BE) that came down from heaven.(BF) Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”(BG)
52 Then the Jews(BH) began to argue sharply among themselves,(BI) “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(BJ) of the Son of Man(BK) and drink his blood,(BL) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(BM) 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.(BN) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(BO) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(BP) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(BQ) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(BR)
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(BS) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(BT) ascend to where he was before!(BU) 63 The Spirit gives life;(BV) the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[e] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known(BW) from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.(BX) 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”(BY)
66 From this time many of his disciples(BZ) turned back and no longer followed him.
67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.(CA)
68 Simon Peter answered him,(CB) “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.(CC) 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”(CD)
70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you,(CE) the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”(CF) 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,(CG) who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)(CH)

Feeding the Five Thousand(A)
6 After (B)these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of (C)Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were (D)diseased.[a] 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
4 (E)Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 (F)Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to (G)Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7 Philip answered Him, (H)“Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”
8 One of His disciples, (I)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, (J)but what are they among so many?”
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them [b]to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly (K)the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Jesus Walks on the Sea(L)
15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him (M)king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.
16 (N)Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 18 Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. 19 So when they had rowed about [c]three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were (O)afraid. 20 But He said to them, (P)“It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
The Bread from Heaven
22 On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except [d]that one [e]which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone— 23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks— 24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, (Q)seeking Jesus. 25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 (R)Do not labor for the food which perishes, but (S)for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, (T)because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, (U)“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 Therefore they said to Him, (V)“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 (W)Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, (X)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but (Y)My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 (Z)Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 And Jesus said to them, (AA)“I am the bread of life. (AB)He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never (AC)thirst. 36 (AD)But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet (AE)do not believe. 37 (AF)All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and (AG)the one who comes to Me I will [f]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, (AH)not to do My own will, (AI)but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, (AJ)that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, (AK)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Rejected by His Own
41 The Jews then [g]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, (AL)“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [h]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 (AM)No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (AN)draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, (AO)‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ (AP)Therefore everyone who [i]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 (AQ)Not that anyone has seen the Father, (AR)except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, (AS)he who believes [j]in Me has everlasting life. 48 (AT)I am the bread of life. 49 (AU)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 (AV)This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread (AW)which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and (AX)the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
52 The Jews therefore (AY)quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless (AZ)you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 (BA)Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is [k]food indeed, and My blood is [l]drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood (BB)abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 (BC)This is the bread which came down from heaven—not (BD)as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Turn Away
60 (BE)Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a [m]hard saying; who can understand it?”
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples [n]complained about this, He said to them, “Does this [o]offend you? 62 (BF)What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 (BG)It is the Spirit who gives life; the (BH)flesh profits nothing. The (BI)words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But (BJ)there are some of you who do not believe.” For (BK)Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore (BL)I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 (BM)From that time many of His disciples went [p]back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have (BN)the words of eternal life. 69 (BO)Also we have come to believe and know that You are the [q]Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, (BP)“Did I not choose you, the twelve, (BQ)and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of (BR)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would (BS)betray Him, being one of the twelve.
