耶穌使五千人吃飽(A)
6 這些事以後，耶穌渡過加利利海，就是提比哩亞海。 2 有一大羣人因為看見他在病人身上所行的神蹟，就跟隨他。 3 耶穌上了山，和門徒一同坐在那裏。 4 那時猶太人的逾越節近了。 5 耶穌舉目看見一大羣人來，就對腓力說：「我們到哪裏去買餅給這些人吃呢？」 6 他說這話是要考驗腓力，他自己原知道要怎樣做。 7 腓力回答他：「就是兩百個銀幣的餅也不夠給他們每人吃一點點。」 8 有一個門徒，就是西門‧彼得的弟弟安得烈，對耶穌說： 9 「這裏有一個孩子，帶着五個大麥餅和兩條魚，但是分給這麼多人還算甚麼呢？」 10 耶穌說：「你們叫大家坐下。」那地方的草多，人們就坐下，男人的數目約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝了，就分給坐着的人，也同樣分了魚，都照他們所要的來分。 12 他們吃飽後，耶穌對門徒說：「把剩下的碎屑收拾起來，免得糟蹋了。」 13 他們就把那五個大麥餅的碎屑，就是大家吃剩的，收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 14 人們看見耶穌所行的神蹟，就說：「這真是那要到世上來的先知！」 15 耶穌知道他們要來強迫他作王，就獨自又退到山上去了。
耶穌在海上行走(B)
16 到了晚上，他的門徒下到海邊， 17 上了船，要過海往迦百農去。天已經黑了，耶穌還沒有來到他們那裏。 18 忽然狂風大作，海浪翻騰。 19 門徒搖櫓，約行了十里多[a]，看見耶穌在海面上走，漸漸靠近了船，他們就害怕。 20 耶穌對他們說：「是我，不要怕！」 21 門徒就欣然接他上船，船立刻到了他們所要去的地方。
耶穌是生命的糧
22 第二天，留在海的對岸的眾人發覺那裏原來只有一條小船，而且耶穌沒有同他的門徒上船，是門徒自己去的。 23 另外有幾條從提比哩亞來的小船，卻停靠在主祝謝後給他們吃餅的地方附近。 24 這時眾人見耶穌和門徒都不在那裏，就上了船，往迦百農去找耶穌。
25 他們在海的對岸找到他後，對他說：「拉比，你幾時到這裏來的？」 26 耶穌回答他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們找我，並不是因見了神蹟，而是因吃餅吃飽了。 27 不要為那會壞的食物操勞，而要為那存到永生的食物操勞。這食物是人子要賜給你們的，因為父 神已印證了。」 28 於是他們問他：「我們該做甚麼才算是做 神的工作呢？」 29 耶穌回答，對他們說：「信 神所差來的，這就是 神的工作。」 30 於是他們對他說：「你行甚麼神蹟，好讓我們看見而信你呢？你到底要做甚麼呢？ 31 我們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪，如經上寫着：『他從天上賜下糧食來給他們吃。』」 32 於是耶穌對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，那從天上來的糧不是摩西賜給你們的，那從天上來的真糧是我父賜給你們的。 33 因為 神的糧就是那位從天上降下來，並且賜生命給世界的。」
34 於是他們對他說：「主啊，請常常把這糧賜給我們！」 35 耶穌對他們說：「我就是生命的糧。到我這裏來的，絕不飢餓；信我的，永不乾渴。 36 可是，我告訴過你們，你們已經看見我[b]，還是不信。 37 凡父所賜給我的人，必到我這裏來；到我這裏來的，我總不丟棄他。 38 因為我從天上降下來，不是要按自己的意願行，而是要遵行差我來那位的旨意。 39 差我來那位的旨意就是：他所賜給我的，要我一個也不失落，並且在末日使他復活。 40 因為我父的旨意是要使每一個見了子而信的人得永生，並且在末日我要使他復活。」
41 猶太人因為耶穌說「我是從天上降下來的糧」，就私下議論他， 42 說：「這不是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎？我們豈不認得他的父母嗎？現在他怎麼說『我是從天上降下來的』呢？」 43 耶穌回答，對他們說：「你們不要彼此私下議論。 44 若不是差我來的父吸引人，就沒有人能到我這裏來；到我這裏來的，在末日我要使他復活。 45 在先知書上寫着：『他們都要蒙 神教導。』凡聽了父的教導而學習的，都到我這裏來。 46 這不是說有人看見過父，惟獨從 神來的，他才看見過父。 47 我實實在在地告訴你們，信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的糧。 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糧，使人吃了就不死。 51 我就是從天上降下來生命的糧；人若吃這糧，必永遠活着。我為世人的生命所賜下的糧就是我的肉。」
52 因此，猶太人彼此爭論說：「這個人怎能把他的肉給我們吃呢？」 53 耶穌對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，在你們裏面就沒有生命。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人就有永生，並且在末日我要使他復活。 55 我的肉是真正可吃的；我的血是真正可喝的。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我裏面，我也常在他裏面。 57 永生的父怎樣差我來，我又怎樣因父活着，照樣，吃我肉的人也要因我活着。 58 這是從天上降下來的糧，不像你們的祖宗吃過嗎哪還是死了；吃這糧的人將永遠活着。」 59 這些話是耶穌在迦百農會堂裏教導人的時候說的。
永生的話
60 他的門徒中有好些人聽見了，就說：「這話很難，誰聽得進呢？」 61 耶穌心裏知道門徒為這話私下議論，就對他們說：「這話成了你們的絆腳石嗎？ 62 如果你們看見人子升到他原來所在之處，會怎麼樣呢？ 63 聖靈賜人生命，肉體毫無用處。我對你們所說的話就是靈，就是生命。 64 可是你們中間有些人不信。」耶穌起初就知道哪些人不信他，哪一個要出賣他。 65 於是耶穌說：「所以，我對你們說過，若不是蒙我父的恩賜，沒有人能到我這裏來。」
66 從此，他門徒中有很多退卻了，不再和他同行。 67 耶穌就對那十二使徒說：「你們也要離開嗎？」 68 西門‧彼得回答他：「主啊，你有永生之道，我們還跟從誰呢？ 69 我們已經信了，又知道你是 神的聖者。」 70 耶穌回答他們：「我不是揀選了你們十二個嗎？但你們中間有一個是魔鬼。」 71 耶穌這話是指着要出賣他的加略人西門的兒子猶大說的；他本是十二使徒裏的一個。

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)

6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men 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 to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

3. LA PASQUA DEL PANE DI VITA (NUOVO RIFIUTO DELLA RIVELAZIONE)
La moltiplicazione dei pani
6 Dopo questi fatti, Gesù andò all'altra riva del mare di Galilea, cioè di Tiberìade, 2 e una grande folla lo seguiva, vedendo i segni che faceva sugli infermi. 3 Gesù salì sulla montagna e là si pose a sedere con i suoi discepoli. 4 Era vicina la Pasqua, la festa dei Giudei. 5 Alzati quindi gli occhi, Gesù vide che una grande folla veniva da lui e disse a Filippo: «Dove possiamo comprare il pane perché costoro abbiano da mangiare?». 6 Diceva così per metterlo alla prova; egli infatti sapeva bene quello che stava per fare. 7 Gli rispose Filippo: «Duecento denari di pane non sono sufficienti neppure perché ognuno possa riceverne un pezzo». 8 Gli disse allora uno dei discepoli, Andrea, fratello di Simon Pietro: 9 «C'è qui un ragazzo che ha cinque pani d'orzo e due pesci; ma che cos'è questo per tanta gente?». 10 Rispose Gesù: «Fateli sedere». C'era molta erba in quel luogo. Si sedettero dunque ed erano circa cinquemila uomini. 11 Allora Gesù prese i pani e, dopo aver reso grazie, li distribuì a quelli che si erano seduti, e lo stesso fece dei pesci, finché ne vollero. 12 E quando furono saziati, disse ai discepoli: «Raccogliete i pezzi avanzati, perché nulla vada perduto». 13 Li raccolsero e riempirono dodici canestri con i pezzi dei cinque pani d'orzo, avanzati a coloro che avevano mangiato.
14 Allora la gente, visto il segno che egli aveva compiuto, cominciò a dire: «Questi è davvero il profeta che deve venire nel mondo!». 15 Ma Gesù, sapendo che stavano per venire a prenderlo per farlo re, si ritirò di nuovo sulla montagna, tutto solo.
Gesù raggiunge i discepoli camminando sul mare
16 Venuta intanto la sera, i suoi discepoli scesero al mare 17 e, saliti in una barca, si avviarono verso l'altra riva in direzione di Cafarnao. Era ormai buio, e Gesù non era ancora venuto da loro. 18 Il mare era agitato, perché soffiava un forte vento. 19 Dopo aver remato circa tre o quattro miglia, videro Gesù che camminava sul mare e si avvicinava alla barca, ed ebbero paura. 20 Ma egli disse loro: «Sono io, non temete». 21 Allora vollero prenderlo sulla barca e rapidamente la barca toccò la riva alla quale erano diretti.
Discorso nella sinagoga di Cafarnao
22 Il giorno dopo, la folla, rimasta dall'altra parte del mare, notò che c'era una barca sola e che Gesù non era salito con i suoi discepoli sulla barca, ma soltanto i suoi discepoli erano partiti. 23 Altre barche erano giunte nel frattempo da Tiberìade, presso il luogo dove avevano mangiato il pane dopo che il Signore aveva reso grazie. 24 Quando dunque la folla vide che Gesù non era più là e nemmeno i suoi discepoli, salì sulle barche e si diresse alla volta di Cafarnao alla ricerca di Gesù. 25 Trovatolo di là dal mare, gli dissero: «Rabbì, quando sei venuto qua?».
26 Gesù rispose: «In verità, in verità vi dico, voi mi cercate non perché avete visto dei segni, ma perché avete mangiato di quei pani e vi siete saziati. 27 Procuratevi non il cibo che perisce, ma quello che dura per la vita eterna, e che il Figlio dell'uomo vi darà. Perché su di lui il Padre, Dio, ha messo il suo sigillo». 28 Gli dissero allora: «Che cosa dobbiamo fare per compiere le opere di Dio?». 29 Gesù rispose: «Questa è l'opera di Dio: credere in colui che egli ha mandato».
30 Allora gli dissero: «Quale segno dunque tu fai perché vediamo e possiamo crederti? Quale opera compi? 31 I nostri padri hanno mangiato la manna nel deserto, come sta scritto: Diede loro da mangiare un pane dal cielo». 32 Rispose loro Gesù: «In verità, in verità vi dico: non Mosè vi ha dato il pane dal cielo, ma il Padre mio vi dà il pane dal cielo, quello vero; 33 il pane di Dio è colui che discende dal cielo e dà la vita al mondo». 34 Allora gli dissero: «Signore, dacci sempre questo pane». 35 Gesù rispose: «Io sono il pane della vita; chi viene a me non avrà più fame e chi crede in me non avrà più sete. 36 Vi ho detto però che voi mi avete visto e non credete. 37 Tutto ciò che il Padre mi dà, verrà a me; colui che viene a me, non lo respingerò, 38 perché sono disceso dal cielo non per fare la mia volontà, ma la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato. 39 E questa è la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato, che io non perda nulla di quanto egli mi ha dato, ma lo risusciti nell'ultimo giorno. 40 Questa infatti è la volontà del Padre mio, che chiunque vede il Figlio e crede in lui abbia la vita eterna; io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno».
41 Intanto i Giudei mormoravano di lui perché aveva detto: «Io sono il pane disceso dal cielo». 42 E dicevano: «Costui non è forse Gesù, il figlio di Giuseppe? Di lui conosciamo il padre e la madre. Come può dunque dire: Sono disceso dal cielo?».
43 Gesù rispose: «Non mormorate tra di voi. 44 Nessuno può venire a me, se non lo attira il Padre che mi ha mandato; e io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno. 45 Sta scritto nei profeti: E tutti saranno ammaestrati da Dio. Chiunque ha udito il Padre e ha imparato da lui, viene a me. 46 Non che alcuno abbia visto il Padre, ma solo colui che viene da Dio ha visto il Padre. 47 In verità, in verità vi dico: chi crede ha la vita eterna.
48 Io sono il pane della vita. 49 I vostri padri hanno mangiato la manna nel deserto e sono morti; 50 questo è il pane che discende dal cielo, perché chi ne mangia non muoia. 51 Io sono il pane vivo, disceso dal cielo. Se uno mangia di questo pane vivrà in eterno e il pane che io darò è la mia carne per la vita del mondo».
52 Allora i Giudei si misero a discutere tra di loro: «Come può costui darci la sua carne da mangiare?». 53 Gesù disse: «In verità, in verità vi dico: se non mangiate la carne del Figlio dell'uomo e non bevete il suo sangue, non avrete in voi la vita. 54 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha la vita eterna e io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno. 55 Perché la mia carne è vero cibo e il mio sangue vera bevanda. 56 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue dimora in me e io in lui. 57 Come il Padre, che ha la vita, ha mandato me e io vivo per il Padre, così anche colui che mangia di me vivrà per me. 58 Questo è il pane disceso dal cielo, non come quello che mangiarono i padri vostri e morirono. Chi mangia questo pane vivrà in eterno».
59 Queste cose disse Gesù, insegnando nella sinagoga a Cafarnao. 60 Molti dei suoi discepoli, dopo aver ascoltato, dissero: «Questo linguaggio è duro; chi può intenderlo?». 61 Gesù, conoscendo dentro di sé che i suoi discepoli proprio di questo mormoravano, disse loro: «Questo vi scandalizza? 62 E se vedeste il Figlio dell'uomo salire là dov'era prima? 63 E' lo Spirito che dà la vita, la carne non giova a nulla; le parole che vi ho dette sono spirito e vita. 64 Ma vi sono alcuni tra voi che non credono». Gesù infatti sapeva fin da principio chi erano quelli che non credevano e chi era colui che lo avrebbe tradito. 65 E continuò: «Per questo vi ho detto che nessuno può venire a me, se non gli è concesso dal Padre mio».
66 Da allora molti dei suoi discepoli si tirarono indietro e non andavano più con lui.
La confessione di Pietro
67 Disse allora Gesù ai Dodici: «Forse anche voi volete andarvene?». 68 Gli rispose Simon Pietro: «Signore, da chi andremo? Tu hai parole di vita eterna; 69 noi abbiamo creduto e conosciuto che tu sei il Santo di Dio». 70 Rispose Gesù: «Non ho forse scelto io voi, i Dodici? Eppure uno di voi è un diavolo!». Egli parlava di Giuda, figlio di Simone Iscariota: questi infatti stava per tradirlo, uno dei Dodici.
