²¹ For just as the Father raises the dead and ^(A)gives them life, even so ^(B)the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

⁵⁷ As the ^(A)living Father ^(B)sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which ^(C)came down out of heaven; not as ^(D)the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread ^(E)will live forever.”

Words to the Disciples

⁵⁹ These things He said ^(F)in the synagogue as He taught ^(G)in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Therefore many of His ^(H)disciples, when they heard this said, “^(I)This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” ⁶¹ But Jesus, ^(J)conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this ^(K)cause you to stumble? ⁶² What then if you see ^(L)the Son of Man ^(M)ascending to where He was before? ^63 (N)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; ^(O)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. ⁶⁴ But there are ^(P)some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus ^(Q)knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and ^(R)who it was that would ^[a]betray Him. ⁶⁵ And He was saying, “For this reason I have ^(S)said to you, that no one can come to Me unless ^(T)it has been granted him from the Father.”

Peter’s Confession of Faith

⁶⁶ As a result of this many of His ^(U)disciples ^(V)withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to ^(W)the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” ^68 (X)Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^(Y)words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ We have believed and have come to know that You are ^(Z)the Holy One of God.” ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, “^(AA)Did I Myself not choose you, ^(AB)the twelve, and yet one of you is ^(AC)a devil?” ⁷¹ Now He meant Judas ^(AD)the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, ^(AE)one of ^(AF)the twelve, ^[b]was going to betray Him.

² For ^(A)the law of the Spirit of life ^[a]in ^(B)Christ Jesus ^(C)has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
