约翰福音 6
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
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。

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
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.
