约翰福音 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
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。

6 Après cela, Jésus s'en alla de l'autre côté de la mer de Galilée, de Tibériade.
2 Une grande foule le suivait, parce qu'elle voyait les miracles qu'il opérait sur les malades.
3 Jésus monta sur la montagne, et là il s'assit avec ses disciples.
4 Or, la Pâque était proche, la fête des Juifs.
5 Ayant levé les yeux, et voyant qu'une grande foule venait à lui, Jésus dit à Philippe: Où achèterons-nous des pains, pour que ces gens aient à manger?
6 Il disait cela pour l'éprouver, car il savait ce qu'il allait faire.
7 Philippe lui répondit: Les pains qu'on aurait pour deux cents deniers ne suffiraient pas pour que chacun en reçût un peu.
8 Un de ses disciples, André, frère de Simon Pierre, lui dit:
9 Il y a ici un jeune garçon qui a cinq pains d'orge et deux poissons; mais qu'est-ce que cela pour tant de gens?
10 Jésus dit: Faites-les asseoir. Il y avait dans ce lieu beaucoup d'herbe. Ils s'assirent donc, au nombre d'environ cinq mille hommes.
11 Jésus prit les pains, rendit grâces, et les distribua à ceux qui étaient assis; il leur donna de même des poissons, autant qu'ils en voulurent.
12 Lorsqu'ils furent rassasiés, il dit à ses disciples: Ramassez les morceaux qui restent, afin que rien ne se perde.
13 Ils les ramassèrent donc, et ils remplirent douze paniers avec les morceaux qui restèrent des cinq pains d'orge, après que tous eurent mangé.
14 Ces gens, ayant vu le miracle que Jésus avait fait, disaient: Celui-ci est vraiment le prophète qui doit venir dans le monde.
15 Et Jésus, sachant qu'ils allaient venir l'enlever pour le faire roi, se retira de nouveau sur la montagne, lui seul.
16 Quand le soir fut venu, ses disciples descendirent au bord de la mer.
17 Étant montés dans une barque, ils traversaient la mer pour se rendre à Capernaüm. Il faisait déjà nuit, et Jésus ne les avait pas encore rejoints.
18 Il soufflait un grand vent, et la mer était agitée.
19 Après avoir ramé environ vingt-cinq ou trente stades, ils virent Jésus marchant sur la mer et s'approchant de la barque. Et ils eurent peur.
20 Mais Jésus leur dit: C'est moi; n'ayez pas peur!
21 Ils voulaient donc le prendre dans la barque, et aussitôt la barque aborda au lieu où ils allaient.
22 La foule qui était restée de l'autre côté de la mer avait remarqué qu'il ne se trouvait là qu'une seule barque, et que Jésus n'était pas monté dans cette barque avec ses disciples, mais qu'ils étaient partis seuls.
23 Le lendemain, comme d'autres barques étaient arrivées de Tibériade près du lieu où ils avaient mangé le pain après que le Seigneur eut rendu grâces,
24 les gens de la foule, ayant vu que ni Jésus ni ses disciples n'étaient là, montèrent eux-mêmes dans ces barques et allèrent à Capernaüm à la recherche de Jésus.
25 Et l'ayant trouvé au delà de la mer, ils lui dirent: Rabbi, quand es-tu venu ici?
26 Jésus leur répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, vous me cherchez, non parce que vous avez vu des miracles, mais parce que vous avez mangé des pains et que vous avez été rassasiés.
27 Travaillez, non pour la nourriture qui périt, mais pour celle qui subsiste pour la vie éternelle, et que le Fils de l'homme vous donnera; car c'est lui que le Père, que Dieu a marqué de son sceau.
28 Ils lui dirent: Que devons-nous faire, pour faire les oeuvres de Dieu?
29 Jésus leur répondit: L'oeuvre de Dieu, c'est que vous croyiez en celui qu'il a envoyé.
30 Quel miracle fais-tu donc, lui dirent-ils, afin que nous le voyions, et que nous croyions en toi? Que fais-tu?
31 Nos pères ont mangé la manne dans le désert, selon ce qui est écrit: Il leur donna le pain du ciel à manger.
32 Jésus leur dit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, Moïse ne vous a pas donné le pain du ciel, mais mon Père vous donne le vrai pain du ciel;
33 car le pain de Dieu, c'est celui qui descend du ciel et qui donne la vie au monde.
34 Ils lui dirent: Seigneur, donne-nous toujours ce pain.
35 Jésus leur dit: Je suis le pain de vie. Celui qui vient à moi n'aura jamais faim, et celui qui croit en moi n'aura jamais soif.
36 Mais, je vous l'ai dit, vous m'avez vu, et vous ne croyez point.
37 Tous ceux que le Père me donne viendront à moi, et je ne mettrai pas dehors celui qui vient à moi;
38 car je suis descendu du ciel pour faire, non ma volonté, mais la volonté de celui qui m'a envoyé.
39 Or, la volonté de celui qui m'a envoyé, c'est que je ne perde rien de tout ce qu'il m'a donné, mais que je le ressuscite au dernier jour.
40 La volonté de mon Père, c'est que quiconque voit le Fils et croit en lui ait la vie éternelle; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour.
41 Les Juifs murmuraient à son sujet, parce qu'il avait dit: Je suis le pain qui est descendu du ciel.
42 Et ils disaient: N'est-ce pas là Jésus, le fils de Joseph, celui dont nous connaissons le père et la mère? Comment donc dit-il: Je suis descendu du ciel?
43 Jésus leur répondit: Ne murmurez pas entre vous.
44 Nul ne peut venir à moi, si le Père qui m'a envoyé ne l'attire; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour.
45 Il est écrit dans les prophètes: Ils seront tous enseignés de Dieu. Ainsi quiconque a entendu le Père et a reçu son enseignement vient à moi.
46 C'est que nul n'a vu le Père, sinon celui qui vient de Dieu; celui-là a vu le Père.
47 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui croit en moi a la vie éternelle.
48 Je suis le pain de vie.
49 Vos pères ont mangé la manne dans le désert, et ils sont morts.
50 C'est ici le pain qui descend du ciel, afin que celui qui en mange ne meure point.
51 Je suis le pain vivant qui est descendu du ciel. Si quelqu'un mange de ce pain, il vivra éternellement; et le pain que je donnerai, c'est ma chair, que je donnerai pour la vie du monde.
52 Là-dessus, les Juifs disputaient entre eux, disant: Comment peut-il nous donner sa chair à manger?
53 Jésus leur dit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, si vous ne mangez la chair du Fils de l'homme, et si vous ne buvez son sang, vous n'avez point la vie en vous-mêmes.
54 Celui qui mange ma chair et qui boit mon sang a la vie éternelle; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour.
55 Car ma chair est vraiment une nourriture, et mon sang est vraiment un breuvage.
56 Celui qui mange ma chair et qui boit mon sang demeure en moi, et je demeure en lui.
57 Comme le Père qui est vivant m'a envoyé, et que je vis par le Père, ainsi celui qui me mange vivra par moi.
58 C'est ici le pain qui est descendu du ciel. Il n'en est pas comme de vos pères qui ont mangé la manne et qui sont morts: celui qui mange ce pain vivra éternellement.
59 Jésus dit ces choses dans la synagogue, enseignant à Capernaüm.
60 Plusieurs de ses disciples, après l'avoir entendu, dirent: Cette parole est dure; qui peut l'écouter?
61 Jésus, sachant en lui-même que ses disciples murmuraient à ce sujet, leur dit: Cela vous scandalise-t-il?
62 Et si vous voyez le Fils de l'homme monter où il était auparavant?...
63 C'est l'esprit qui vivifie; la chair ne sert de rien. Les paroles que je vous ai dites sont esprit et vie.
64 Mais il en est parmi vous quelques-uns qui ne croient point. Car Jésus savait dès le commencement qui étaient ceux qui ne croyaient point, et qui était celui qui le livrerait.
65 Et il ajouta: C'est pourquoi je vous ai dit que nul ne peut venir à moi, si cela ne lui a été donné par le Père.
66 Dès ce moment, plusieurs de ses disciples se retirèrent, et ils n'allaient plus avec lui.
67 Jésus donc dit aux douze: Et vous, ne voulez-vous pas aussi vous en aller?
68 Simon Pierre lui répondit: Seigneur, à qui irions-nous? Tu as les paroles de la vie éternelle.
69 Et nous avons cru et nous avons connu que tu es le Christ, le Saint de Dieu.
70 Jésus leur répondit: N'est-ce pas moi qui vous ai choisis, vous les douze? Et l'un de vous est un démon!
71 Il parlait de Judas Iscariot, fils de Simon; car c'était lui qui devait le livrer, lui, l'un des douze.
John 6
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)
John 6
King James Version
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.
