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
Lexham English Bible
The Feeding of Five Thousand
6 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias). 2 And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick. 3 So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. 4 (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.) 5 Then Jesus, when he looked up[a] [b] and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people can eat?” 6 (Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.) 7 Philip replied to him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, 9 “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people recline.” (Now there was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men reclined, approximately five thousand in number. 11 Then Jesus took the bread, and after he[c] had given thanks, he distributed it[d] to those who were reclining—likewise also of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, “Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost.” 13 So they gathered them,[e] and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 Now when[f] the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say,[g] “This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!” 15 Then Jesus, because he[h] knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him[i] king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.
Jesus Walks on the Water
16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 And getting into a boat, they began to go[j] to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea began to be stirred up[k] because[l] a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then when they[m] had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,[n] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid!” 21 So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
Discourse About the Bread of Life
22 On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone. 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after[o] the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
25 And when they[p] found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied! 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one.”
28 So they said to him, “What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom that one sent.” 30 So they said to him, “Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see it[q] and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[r]
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven! 33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 So they said to him, “Sir, always give us this bread!”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe. 37 Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out, 38 because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me. 39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose any of them,[s] but raise them[t] up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 Now the Jews began to grumble[u] about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” 42 and they were saying, “Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves![v] 44 No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’[w] Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)[x] 47 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever.[y] And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 So the Jews began to quarrel[z] among themselves,[aa] saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves! 54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats[ab] my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also the one who eats[ac] me—that one will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats[ad] this bread will live forever.”[ae]
Many of Jesus’ Disciples Offended by His Teaching
59 He said these things while[af] teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60 Thus many of his disciples, when they[ag] heard it,[ah] said, “This saying is hard! Who can understand it?” 61 But Jesus, because he[ai] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? 63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.”
Peter’s Confession
66 For this reason many of his disciples drew back[aj] and were not walking with him any longer. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”[ak] 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus replied to them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?” 71 (Now he was speaking about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, because this one—one of the twelve—was going to betray him.)
