约翰福音 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
給五千人吃飽的神蹟(A)
6 這些事以後,耶穌渡過加利利海,就是提比里亞海。 2 有一大群人,因為看見了他在病人身上所行的神蹟,就跟隨了他。 3 耶穌上了山,同門徒坐在那裡。 4 那時猶太人的逾越節近了。 5 耶穌舉目觀看,見一大群人向他走過來,就對腓力說:“我們從哪裡買餅給這些人吃呢?” 6 他說這話,是要試驗腓力,因他自己早已知道要怎樣作。 7 腓力回答:“就算二百銀幣買的餅,每人分一點,也是不夠的。” 8 有一個門徒,就是西門.彼得的弟弟安得烈,對耶穌說: 9 “這裡有個小孩子,帶著五個大麥餅、兩條魚;只是分給這麼多人,有甚麼用呢?” 10 耶穌吩咐他們:“你們叫眾人坐下。”原來那地方的草很多,眾人就坐下,單是男人的數目約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來,祝謝了,就分給坐著的人;分魚也是這樣,都是隨著他們所要的。 12 他們吃飽了之後,耶穌對門徒說:“把剩下的零碎收拾起來,免得浪費。” 13 門徒就把眾人吃剩那五個大麥餅的零碎收拾起來,裝滿了十二個籃子。 14 眾人看見耶穌所行的神蹟,就說:“這真是那要到世上來的先知。” 15 耶穌知道群眾要來強迫他作王,就獨自又退到山上去了。
耶穌在海面上行走(B)
16 到了晚上,他的門徒下到海邊去。 17 他們上了船,要渡海往迦百農去。那時天已經黑了,耶穌還沒有到他們那裡。 18 忽然海上起了狂風,波浪翻騰。 19 門徒搖櫓約行了五六公里,看見耶穌在海面上行走,漸漸靠近船,就害怕起來。 20 耶穌對他們說:“是我,不要怕。” 21 他們這才把他接上船,船就立刻到了他們要去的地方。
耶穌是生命的食物
22 第二天,站在海那邊的群眾,看見只有一隻小船留在那裡,並且知道耶穌沒有和他的門徒一同上船,門徒是自己去的; 23 不過有幾隻從提比里亞來的船停在那裡,靠近他們在主祝謝以後吃餅的地方。 24 群眾見耶穌和門徒都不在那裡,就上船往迦百農去找耶穌。 25 他們在對岸找到了耶穌,就問他:“拉比,你幾時到這裡來的?” 26 耶穌回答:“我實實在在告訴你們,你們找我,不是因為看見了神蹟,而是因為吃了餅又吃飽了。 27 不要為那必朽壞的食物操勞,卻要為那存到永生的食物操勞,就是人子所要賜給你們的,因為人子是父 神所印證的。” 28 眾人又問他:“我們應該作甚麼,才算是作 神的工作呢?” 29 耶穌回答:“信 神所差來的,就是作 神的工了。” 30 於是他們就說:“你要行甚麼神蹟,讓我們看了就信你呢?你到底能作甚麼呢? 31 我們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪,正如經上所記:‘他把從天上來的食物賜給他們吃。’” 32 耶穌對他們說:“我實實在在告訴你們,不是摩西把那從天上來的食物賜給你們,而是我父把天上來的真食物賜給你們; 33 因為 神的食物就是從天上降下來,把生命賜給世人的那一位。”
34 他們對耶穌說:“主啊,求你常把這食物賜給我們。” 35 耶穌說:“我就是生命的食物,到我這裡來的,必定不餓;信我的,永遠不渴。 36 但我告訴你們,你們雖然見了我,還是不信。 37 凡是父賜給我的人,必到我這裡來;到我這裡來的,我決不丟棄他, 38 因為我從天上降下來,不是要行自己的意思,而是要行那差我來者的旨意。 39 那差我來者的旨意就是:他所賜給我的人,我連一個也不失落,並且在末日我要使他們復活。 40 因為我父的旨意,是要使所有看見了子而信的人有永生,並且在末日我要使他們復活。”
41 猶太人因為耶穌說“我是從天上降下來的食物”,就紛紛議論他。 42 他們說:“這不是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎?他的父母我們不都認識嗎?他現在怎麼說‘我是從天上降下來的’呢?” 43 耶穌回答:“你們不要彼此議論。 44 如果不是差我來的父吸引人,就沒有人能到我這裡來;到我這裡來的,在末日我要使他復活。 45 先知書上記著:‘眾人都必受 神的教導。’凡聽見從父那裡來的教訓而又學習的,必到我這裡來。 46 這不是說有人見過父;只有從 神那裡來的那一位,他才見過父。 47 我實實在在告訴你們,信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的食物, 49 你們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪,還是死了。 50 這是從天上降下來的食物,使人吃了就不死。 51 我就是從天上降下來生命的食物,人若吃了這食物,就必活到永遠。我要賜的食物就是我的肉,是為了世人的生命而賜的。”
52 於是,猶太人彼此爭論,說:“這個人怎能把他的肉給我們吃呢?” 53 耶穌就對他們說:“我實實在在告訴你們,你們若不吃人子的肉,不喝人子的血,就沒有生命在你們裡面。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的,就有永生,在末日我要使他復活; 55 因為我的肉是真正的食物,我的血是真正的飲料。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人,就住在我裡面,我也住在他裡面。 57 正如永活的父差遣了我,我也因父活著;照樣,吃我肉的人也必因我而活。 58 這就是從天上降下來的食物,不像嗎哪,你們的祖宗吃過,還是死了;吃這食物的,必活到永遠。” 59 這些話是耶穌在迦百農會堂裡教導人的時候說的。
永生之道
60 他的門徒中,有許多人聽了,就說:“這話很難,誰能接受呢?” 61 耶穌心裡知道門徒為了這事議論紛紛,就對他們說:“這話使你們動搖嗎? 62 如果你們看見人子升到他原來所在的地方,又怎樣呢? 63 使人活的是靈,肉體是無濟於事的。我對你們所說的話是靈、是生命。 64 然而你們中間卻有不信的人。”原來從起初耶穌就知道那些不信的是誰,那要把他出賣的又是誰。 65 耶穌跟著說:“所以我對你們說過,如果不是父所賜的,沒有人能到我這裡來。”
66 從此,他的門徒中有許多人退去了,不再與他同行。 67 於是耶穌對十二門徒說:“你們也想離去嗎?” 68 西門.彼得回答:“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 神的聖者。” 70 耶穌說:“我不是揀選了你們十二個人嗎?但你們中間有一個是魔鬼。” 71 耶穌這話是指著加略人西門的兒子猶大說的,因為他雖然是十二門徒之一,卻要出賣耶穌。
John 6
New King James Version
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.

New International Version
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)
