Johannes 6
Svenska 1917
6 Därefter for Jesus över Galileiska sjön, »Tiberias' sjö».
2 Och mycket folk följde efter honom, därför att de sågo de tecken som han gjorde med de sjuka.
3 Men Jesus gick upp på berget och satte sig där med sina lärjungar.
4 Och påsken, judarnas högtid, var nära.
5 Då nu Jesus lyfte upp sina ögon och såg att mycket folk kom till honom, sade han till Filippus: »Varifrån skola vi köpa bröd, så att dessa få äta?»
6 Men detta sade han för att sätta honom på prov, ty själv visste han vad han skulle göra.
7 Filippus svarade honom: »Bröd för två hundra silverpenningar vore icke nog för att var och en skulle få ett litet stycke.»
8 Då sade till honom en annan av hans lärjungar, Andreas, Simon Petrus' broder:
9 »Här är en gosse som har fem kornbröd och två fiskar; men vad förslår det för så många?»
10 Jesus sade: »Låten folket lägga sig här.» Och på det stället var mycket gräs. Då lägrade sig männen där, och deras antal var vid pass fem tusen.
11 Därefter tog Jesus bröden och tackade Gud och delade ut åt dem som hade lagt sig ned där, likaledes ock av fiskarna, så mycket de ville hava.
12 Och när de voro mätta, sade han till sina lärjungar: »Samlen tillhopa de överblivna styckena, så att intet förfares.»
13 Då samlade de dem tillhopa och fyllde tolv korgar med stycken, som av de fem kornbröden hade blivit över efter dem som hade ätit.
14 Då nu människorna hade det tecken som han hade gjort, sade de: »Denne är förvisso Profeten som skulle komma i världen.»
15 När då Jesus märkte att de tänkte komma och med våld föra honom med sig och göra honom till konung, drog han sig åter undan till berget, helt allena.
16 Men när det blev afton, gingo hans lärjungar ned till sjön
17 och stego i en båt för att fara över sjön till Kapernaum. Det hade då redan blivit mörkt, och Jesus hade ännu icke kommit till dem;
18 och sjön gick hög, ty det blåste hårt.
19 När de så hade rott vid pass tjugufem eller trettio stadier, fingo de se Jesus komma gående på sjön och nalkas båten. Då blevo de förskräckta.
20 Men han sade till dem: »Det är jag; varen icke förskräckta.»
21 De ville då taga honom upp i båten; och strax var båten framme vid landet dit de foro.
22 Dagen därefter hände sig detta. Folket som stod kvar på andra sidan sjön hade lagt märke till att där icke fanns mer än en enda båt, och att Jesus icke hade stigit i den båten med sina lärjungar, utan att lärjungarna hade farit bort allena.
23 Andra båtar hade likväl kommit från Tiberias och lagt till nära det ställe där folket bespisades efter det att Herren hade uttalat tacksägelsen.
24 När alltså folket nu såg att Jesus icke var där, ej heller hans lärjungar, stego de själva i båtarna och foro till Kapernaum för att söka efter Jesus.
25 Och då de funno honom där på andra sidan sjön, frågade de honom: »Rabbi, när kom du hit?»
26 Jesus svarade dem och sade: »Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: I söken mig icke därför att I haven sett tecken, utan därför att I fingen äta av bröden och bleven mätta.
27 Verken icke för att få den mat som förgås, utan för att få den mat som förbliver och har med sig evigt liv, den som Människosonen skall giva eder; ty honom har Fadern, Gud själv, låtit undfå sitt insegel.»
28 Då sade de till honom: »Vad skola vi göra för att utföra Guds gärningar?»
29 Jesus svarade och sade till dem: »Detta är Guds gärning, att I tron på den han har sänt.»
30 De sade till honom: »Vad för tecken gör du då? Låt oss se något tecken, så att vi kunna tro dig. Vilken gärning utför du?
31 Våra fäder fingo äta manna i öknen, såsom det är skrivet: 'Han gav dem bröd från himmelen att äta.'»
32 Då svarade Jesus dem: »Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Det är icke Moses som har givit eder brödet från himmelen, men det är min Fader som giver eder det rätta brödet från himmelen.
33 Ty Guds bröd är det bröd som kommer ned från himmelen och giver världen liv.»
34 Då sade de till honom: »Herre, giv oss alltid det brödet.»
35 Jesus svarade: »Jag är livets bröd. Den som kommer till mig, han skall aldrig hungra, och den som tror på mig, han skall aldrig törsta.
36 Men det är såsom jag har sagt eder: fastän I haven sett mig, tron I dock icke.
37 Allt vad min Fader giver mig, det kommer till mig; och den som kommer till mig, honom skall jag sannerligen icke kasta ut.
38 Ty jag har kommit ned från himmelen, icke för att göra min vilja, utan för att göra dens vilja, som har sänt mig.
39 Och detta är dens vilja, som har sänt mig, att jag icke skall låta någon enda gå förlorad av dem som han har givit mig, utan att jag skall låta dem uppstå på den yttersta dagen.
40 Ja, detta är min Faders vilja, att var och en som ser Sonen och tror på honom, han skall hava evigt liv, och att jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen.»
41 Då knorrade judarna över honom, därför att han hade sagt: »Jag är det bröd som har kommit ned från himmelen.»
42 Och de sade: »Är denne icke Jesus, Josefs son, vilkens fader och moder vi känna? Huru kan han då säga: 'Jag har kommit ned från himmelen'?»
43 Jesus svarade och sade till dem: »Knorren icke eder emellan.
44 Ingen kan komma till mig, om icke Fadern, som har sänt mig, drager honom; och jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen.
45 Det är skrivet hos profeterna: 'De skola alla hava fått lärdom av Gud.' Var och en som har lyssnat till Fadern och lärt av honom, han kommer till mig.
46 Icke som om någon skulle hava sett Fadern, utom den som är från Gud; han har sett Fadern.
47 Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Den som tror, han har evigt liv.
48 Jag är livets bröd.
49 Edra fäder åto manna i öknen, och de dogo.
50 Men med det bröd som kommer ned från himmelen är det så, att om någon äter därav, så skall han icke dö.
51 Jag är det levande brödet som har kommit ned från himmelen. Om någon äter av det brödet, så skall han leva till evig tid. Och det bröd som jag skall giva är mitt kött; och jag giver det, för att världen skall leva.»
52 Då tvistade judarna med varandra och sade: »Huru skulle denne kunna giva oss sitt kött att äta?»
53 Jesus sade då till dem: »Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Om I icke äten Människosonens kött och dricken hans blod, så haven I icke liv i eder.
54 Den som äter mitt kött och dricker mitt blod, han har evigt liv, och jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen.
55 Ty mitt kött är sannskyldig mat, och mitt blod är sannskyldig dryck.
56 Den som äter mitt kött och dricker mitt blod, han förbliver i mig, och jag förbliver i honom.
57 Såsom Fadern, han som är den levande, har sänt mig, och såsom jag lever genom Fadern, så skall ock den som äter mig leva genom mig.
58 Så är det med det bröd som har kommit ned från himmelen. Det är icke såsom det fäderna fingo äta, vilka sedan dogo; den som äter detta bröd, han skall leva till evig tid.»
59 Detta sade han, när han undervisade i synagogan i Kapernaum.
60 Många av hans lärjungar, som hörde detta, sade då: »Detta är ett hårt tal; vem står ut med att höra på honom?»
61 Men Jesus visste inom sig att hans lärjungar knorrade över detta; och han sade till dem: »Är detta för eder en stötesten?
62 Vad skolen I då säga, om I fån se Människosonen uppstiga dit där han förut var? --
63 Det är anden som gör levande; köttet är till intet gagneligt. De ord som jag har talat till eder äro ande och äro liv.
64 Men bland eder finnas några som icke tro.» Jesus visste nämligen från begynnelsen vilka de voro som icke trodde, så ock vilken den var som skulle förråda honom.
65 Och han tillade: »Fördenskull har jag sagt eder att ingen kan komma till mig, om det icke bliver honom givet av Fadern.»
66 För detta tals skull drogo sig många av hans lärjungar tillbaka, så att de icke längre vandrade med honom.
67 Då sade Jesus till de tolv: »Icke viljen väl också I gå bort?»
68 Simon Petrus svarade honom: »Herre, till vem skulle vi gå? Du har det eviga livets ord,
69 och vi tro och förstå att du är Guds helige.»
70 Jesus svarade dem: »Har icke jag själv utvalt eder, I tolv? Och likväl är en av eder en djävul.»
71 Detta sade han om Judas, Simon Iskariots son; ty det var denne som skulle förråda honom, och han var en av de tolv.
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.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
6 After this (A)Jesus went away to the other side of (B)the Sea of Galilee, which is (C)the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on (D)the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now (E)the Passover, the (F)feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 (G)Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to (H)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 (I)Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii[a] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, (J)Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five (K)barley loaves and two fish, but (L)what are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (M)Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and (N)when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, (O)“This is indeed (P)the Prophet (Q)who is to come into the world!”
15 (R)Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus (S)withdrew again to (T)the mountain by himself.
Jesus Walks on Water
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 (U)But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
I Am the Bread of Life
22 On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only (V)one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord (W)had given thanks. 24 (X)So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and (Y)went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, (Z)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AA)you are seeking me, not because you saw (AB)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 (AC)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for (AD)the food that endures to eternal life, which (AE)the Son of Man will give to you. For on (AF)him God the Father has (AG)set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing (AH)the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, (AI)that you believe in him whom (AJ)he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, (AK)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 (AL)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, (AM)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is (AN)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, (AO)“Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, (AP)“I am the bread of life; (AQ)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 (AR)All that (AS)the Father gives me will come to me, and (AT)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For (AU)I have come down from heaven, not to do (AV)my own will but (AW)the will of him (AX)who sent me. 39 And (AY)this is the will of him who sent me, (AZ)that I should lose nothing of (BA)all that he has given me, but (BB)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who (BC)looks on the Son and (BD)believes in him (BE)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, (BF)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, (BG)“Is not this Jesus, (BH)the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (BI)we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me (BJ)draws him. And (BK)I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, (BL)‘And they will all be (BM)taught by God.’ (BN)Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 (BO)not that anyone has seen the Father except (BP)he who is from God; he (BQ)has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, (BR)whoever believes has eternal life. 48 (BS)I am the bread of life. 49 (BT)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and (BU)they died. 50 (BV)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it (BW)and not die. 51 I am the living bread (BX)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give (BY)for the life of the world is (BZ)my flesh.”
52 The Jews then (CA)disputed among themselves, saying, (CB)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (CC)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you (CD)have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (CE)has eternal life, and (CF)I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (CG)abides in me, and I in him. 57 As (CH)the living Father (CI)sent me, and (CJ)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 (CK)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[c] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[d] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (CL)at Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 (CM)When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, (CN)knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see (CO)the Son of Man (CP)ascending to (CQ)where he was before? 63 (CR)It is the Spirit who gives life; (CS)the flesh is no help at all. (CT)The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But (CU)there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus (CV)knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and (CW)who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you (CX)that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
66 (CY)After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to (CZ)the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have (DA)the words of eternal life, 69 and (DB)we have believed, and have come to know, that (DC)you are (DD)the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, (DE)“Did I not choose you, (DF)the twelve? And yet one of you is (DG)a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas (DH)the son of Simon Iscariot, for (DI)he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
