More Than 5,000 People Fed
6 After this, Jesus went across Lake Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias). 2 Many people followed him because they saw the miracles he did to heal the sick. 3 Jesus went up on a hill and there sat down with his followers. 4 It was almost the time for the Jewish Passover Feast.
5 Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him. He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for all these people to eat?” 6 (Jesus asked Philip this question to test him. Jesus already knew what he planned to do.)
7 Philip answered, “Someone would have to work almost a year to buy enough bread for each person here to have only a little piece.”
8 Another follower there was Andrew. He was Simon Peter’s brother. Andrew said, 9 “Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish. But that is not enough for so many people.”
10 Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down.” This was a very grassy place. There were about 5,000 men who sat down there. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves of bread. He thanked God for the bread and gave it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish. He gave them as much as they wanted.
12 They all had enough to eat. When they had finished, Jesus said to his followers, “Gather the pieces of fish and bread that were not eaten. Don’t waste anything.” 13 So they gathered up the pieces that were left. They filled 12 large baskets with the pieces that were left of the five barley loaves.
14 The people saw this miracle that Jesus did. They said, “He must truly be the Prophet[a] who is coming into the world.”
15 Jesus knew that the people planned to come and take him by force and make him their king. So he left and went into the hills alone.
Jesus Walks on the Water
16 That evening Jesus’ followers went down to Lake Galilee. 17 It was dark now and Jesus had not yet come to them. The followers got into a boat and started across the lake to Capernaum. 18 By now a strong wind was blowing, and the waves on the lake were getting bigger. 19 They rowed the boat about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming toward the boat. The followers were afraid. 20 But Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. It is I.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat. At once the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go.
The People Seek Jesus
22 The next day came. Some people had stayed on the other side of the lake. They knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his followers but that they had left without him. And they knew that only one boat had been there. 23 But then some boats came from Tiberias. They landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 The people saw that Jesus and his followers were not there now. So they got into boats and went to Capernaum. They wanted to find Jesus.
Jesus, the Bread of Life
25 The people found Jesus on the other side of the lake. They asked him, “Teacher, when did you come here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Are you looking for me because you saw me do miracles? No! I tell you the truth. You are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied. 27 Earthly food spoils and ruins. So don’t work to get that kind of food. But work to get the food that stays good always and gives you eternal life. The Son of Man will give you that food. God the Father has shown that he is with the Son of Man.”
28 The people asked Jesus, “What are the things God wants us to do?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work God wants you to do is this: to believe in the One that God sent.”
30 So the people asked, “What miracle will you do? If we can see a miracle, then we will believe you. What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the desert. This is written in the Scriptures: ‘God gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”[b]
32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Moses was not the one who gave you bread from heaven. But my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 God’s bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 The people said, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Then Jesus said, “I am the bread that gives life. He who comes to me will never be hungry. He who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you before, you have seen me, and still you don’t believe. 37 The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them. 38 I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do. I did not come to do what I want to do. 39 I must not lose even one of those that God has given me, but I must raise them up on the last day. This is what the One who sent me wants me to do. 40 Everyone who sees the Son and believes in him has eternal life. I will raise him up on the last day. This is what my Father wants.”
41 The Jews began to complain about Jesus. They complained because he said, “I am the bread that comes down from heaven.” 42 The Jews said, “This is Jesus. We know his father and mother. He is only Joseph’s son. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
43 But Jesus answered, “Stop complaining to each other. 44 The Father is the One who sent me. No one can come to me unless the Father draws him to me. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘God will teach all the people.’[c] Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the One who is from God. Only he has seen the Father. 47 I tell you the truth. He who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread that gives life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert. But still they died. 50 Here is the bread that comes down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh. I will give my flesh so that the people in the world may have life.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue among themselves. They said, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. You must eat the flesh of the Son of Man. And you must drink his blood. If you don’t do this, then you won’t have real life in you. 54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. I will raise him up on the last day. 55 My flesh is true food. My blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in him. 57 The Father sent me. The Father lives, and I live because of the Father. So he who eats me will live because of me. 58 I am not like the bread our ancestors ate. They ate that bread, but still they died. I am the bread that came down from heaven. He who eats this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus said all these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 The followers of Jesus heard this. Many of them said, “This teaching is hard. Who can accept it?”
61 Jesus knew that his followers were complaining about this. So he said, “Does this teaching bother you? 62 Then will it also bother you to see the Son of Man going back to the place where he came from? 63 It is not the flesh that gives a person life. It is the spirit that gives life. The words I told you are spirit, and so they give life. 64 But some of you don’t believe.” (Jesus knew who did not believe. He knew this from the beginning. And he knew who would turn against him.) 65 Jesus said, “That is the reason I said, ‘If the Father does not let a person come to me, then he cannot come.’”
66 After Jesus said this, many of his followers left him. They stopped following him.
67 Jesus asked the 12 followers, “Do you want to leave, too?”
68 Simon Peter answered Jesus, “Lord, who would we go to? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe in you. We know that you are the Holy One from God.”
70 Then Jesus answered, “I chose all 12 of you. But 1 of you is a devil.”
71 Jesus was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was 1 of the 12. But later he was going to turn against Jesus.

給五千人吃飽的神蹟(A)
6 這些事以後，耶穌渡過加利利海，就是提比里亞海。 2 有一大群人，因為看見了他在病人身上所行的神蹟，就跟隨了他。 3 耶穌上了山，同門徒坐在那裡。 4 那時猶太人的逾越節近了。 5 耶穌舉目觀看，見一大群人向他走過來，就對腓力說：“我們從哪裡買餅給這些人吃呢？” 6 他說這話，是要試驗腓力，因他自己早已知道要怎樣作。 7 腓力回答：“就算二百銀幣買的餅，每人分一點，也是不夠的。” 8 有一個門徒，就是西門．彼得的弟弟安得烈，對耶穌說： 9 “這裡有個小孩子，帶著五個大麥餅、兩條魚；只是分給這麼多人，有甚麼用呢？” 10 耶穌吩咐他們：“你們叫眾人坐下。”原來那地方的草很多，眾人就坐下，單是男人的數目約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝了，就分給坐著的人；分魚也是這樣，都是隨著他們所要的。 12 他們吃飽了之後，耶穌對門徒說：“把剩下的零碎收拾起來，免得浪費。” 13 門徒就把眾人吃剩那五個大麥餅的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 14 眾人看見耶穌所行的神蹟，就說：“這真是那要到世上來的先知。” 15 耶穌知道群眾要來強迫他作王，就獨自又退到山上去了。
耶穌在海面上行走(B)
16 到了晚上，他的門徒下到海邊去。 17 他們上了船，要渡海往迦百農去。那時天已經黑了，耶穌還沒有到他們那裡。 18 忽然海上起了狂風，波浪翻騰。 19 門徒搖櫓約行了五六公里，看見耶穌在海面上行走，漸漸靠近船，就害怕起來。 20 耶穌對他們說：“是我，不要怕。” 21 他們這才把他接上船，船就立刻到了他們要去的地方。
耶穌是生命的食物
22 第二天，站在海那邊的群眾，看見只有一隻小船留在那裡，並且知道耶穌沒有和他的門徒一同上船，門徒是自己去的； 23 不過有幾隻從提比里亞來的船停在那裡，靠近他們在主祝謝以後吃餅的地方。 24 群眾見耶穌和門徒都不在那裡，就上船往迦百農去找耶穌。 25 他們在對岸找到了耶穌，就問他：“拉比，你幾時到這裡來的？” 26 耶穌回答：“我實實在在告訴你們，你們找我，不是因為看見了神蹟，而是因為吃了餅又吃飽了。 27 不要為那必朽壞的食物操勞，卻要為那存到永生的食物操勞，就是人子所要賜給你們的，因為人子是父 神所印證的。” 28 眾人又問他：“我們應該作甚麼，才算是作 神的工作呢？” 29 耶穌回答：“信 神所差來的，就是作 神的工了。” 30 於是他們就說：“你要行甚麼神蹟，讓我們看了就信你呢？你到底能作甚麼呢？ 31 我們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪，正如經上所記：‘他把從天上來的食物賜給他們吃。’” 32 耶穌對他們說：“我實實在在告訴你們，不是摩西把那從天上來的食物賜給你們，而是我父把天上來的真食物賜給你們； 33 因為 神的食物就是從天上降下來，把生命賜給世人的那一位。”
34 他們對耶穌說：“主啊，求你常把這食物賜給我們。” 35 耶穌說：“我就是生命的食物，到我這裡來的，必定不餓；信我的，永遠不渴。 36 但我告訴你們，你們雖然見了我，還是不信。 37 凡是父賜給我的人，必到我這裡來；到我這裡來的，我決不丟棄他， 38 因為我從天上降下來，不是要行自己的意思，而是要行那差我來者的旨意。 39 那差我來者的旨意就是：他所賜給我的人，我連一個也不失落，並且在末日我要使他們復活。 40 因為我父的旨意，是要使所有看見了子而信的人有永生，並且在末日我要使他們復活。”
41 猶太人因為耶穌說“我是從天上降下來的食物”，就紛紛議論他。 42 他們說：“這不是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎？他的父母我們不都認識嗎？他現在怎麼說‘我是從天上降下來的’呢？” 43 耶穌回答：“你們不要彼此議論。 44 如果不是差我來的父吸引人，就沒有人能到我這裡來；到我這裡來的，在末日我要使他復活。 45 先知書上記著：‘眾人都必受 神的教導。’凡聽見從父那裡來的教訓而又學習的，必到我這裡來。 46 這不是說有人見過父；只有從 神那裡來的那一位，他才見過父。 47 我實實在在告訴你們，信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的食物， 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食物，使人吃了就不死。 51 我就是從天上降下來生命的食物，人若吃了這食物，就必活到永遠。我要賜的食物就是我的肉，是為了世人的生命而賜的。”
52 於是，猶太人彼此爭論，說：“這個人怎能把他的肉給我們吃呢？” 53 耶穌就對他們說：“我實實在在告訴你們，你們若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就沒有生命在你們裡面。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的，就有永生，在末日我要使他復活； 55 因為我的肉是真正的食物，我的血是真正的飲料。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人，就住在我裡面，我也住在他裡面。 57 正如永活的父差遣了我，我也因父活著；照樣，吃我肉的人也必因我而活。 58 這就是從天上降下來的食物，不像嗎哪，你們的祖宗吃過，還是死了；吃這食物的，必活到永遠。” 59 這些話是耶穌在迦百農會堂裡教導人的時候說的。
永生之道
60 他的門徒中，有許多人聽了，就說：“這話很難，誰能接受呢？” 61 耶穌心裡知道門徒為了這事議論紛紛，就對他們說：“這話使你們動搖嗎？ 62 如果你們看見人子升到他原來所在的地方，又怎樣呢？ 63 使人活的是靈，肉體是無濟於事的。我對你們所說的話是靈、是生命。 64 然而你們中間卻有不信的人。”原來從起初耶穌就知道那些不信的是誰，那要把他出賣的又是誰。 65 耶穌跟著說：“所以我對你們說過，如果不是父所賜的，沒有人能到我這裡來。”
66 從此，他的門徒中有許多人退去了，不再與他同行。 67 於是耶穌對十二門徒說：“你們也想離去嗎？” 68 西門．彼得回答：“主啊，你有永生之道，我們還跟從誰呢？ 69 我們已經相信，並且知道你是 神的聖者。” 70 耶穌說：“我不是揀選了你們十二個人嗎？但你們中間有一個是魔鬼。” 71 耶穌這話是指著加略人西門的兒子猶大說的，因為他雖然是十二門徒之一，卻要出賣耶穌。

Cuarto signo (6,1-15)
La multiplicación de los panes (Mt 14,13-21; Mc 6,34-44; Lc 9,10-17)
6 Después de esto, Jesús pasó a la otra orilla del lago de Galilea (o de Tiberíades). 2 Lo seguía mucha gente, porque veían los milagros que hacía con los enfermos. 3 Jesús subió a un monte y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. 4 Estaba próxima la Pascua, fiesta principal de los judíos. 5 Al alzar Jesús la mirada y ver aquella gran multitud que acudía a él, dijo a Felipe:
— ¿Dónde podríamos comprar pan para que puedan comer todos estos?
6 Dijo esto para ver su reacción, pues él ya sabía lo que iba a hacer. 7 Felipe le respondió:
— Aunque se gastase uno el salario de más de medio año, no alcanzaría para que cada uno de estos probase un bocado.
8 Otro de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, intervino diciendo:
9 — Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos peces; pero ¿qué es esto para tanta gente?
10 Jesús dijo entonces:
— Hagan que se sienten todos.
Se sentaron todos sobre la hierba, que era muy abundante en aquel lugar. Eran unos cinco mil hombres. 11 Jesús tomó los panes y, después de dar gracias a Dios, los distribuyó entre los que estaban sentados. Y lo mismo hizo con los peces, hasta que se hartaron. 12 Cuando quedaron satisfechos, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
— Recojan lo que ha sobrado, para que no se pierda nada.
13 Lo hicieron así, y con lo que sobró a quienes comieron de los cinco panes de cebada, llenaron doce cestos. 14 La gente, por su parte, al ver aquel milagro, comentaba:
— Este hombre tiene que ser el profeta que iba a venir al mundo.
15 Se dio cuenta Jesús de que pretendían llevárselo para proclamarlo rey, y se retiró de nuevo al monte él solo.
Quinto signo (6,16—8,59)
Jesús camina sobre el agua (Mt 14,22-27; Mc 6,45-52)
16 A la caída de la tarde, los discípulos de Jesús bajaron al lago, 17 subieron a una barca y emprendieron la travesía hacia Cafarnaún. Era ya de noche y Jesús aún no los había alcanzado. 18 De pronto se levantó un viento fuerte que alborotó el lago. 19 Habrían remado unos cinco o seis kilómetros, cuando vieron a Jesús que caminaba sobre el lago y se acercaba a la barca. Les entró mucho miedo, 20 pero Jesús les dijo:
— Soy yo. No tengan miedo.
21 Entonces quisieron subirlo a bordo, pero en seguida la barca tocó tierra en el lugar al que se dirigían.
La gente busca a Jesús
22 Al día siguiente, la gente que continuaba al otro lado del lago advirtió que allí solamente había estado atracada una barca y que Jesús no se había embarcado en ella con sus discípulos, sino que estos habían partido solos. 23 Llegaron entre tanto de la ciudad de Tiberíades unas barcas y atracaron cerca del lugar en que la gente había comido el pan cuando el Señor pronunció la acción de gracias. 24 Al darse cuenta de que ni Jesús ni sus discípulos estaban allí, subieron a las barcas y se dirigieron a Cafarnaún en busca de Jesús.
Discurso sobre el pan de vida
25 Los que buscaban a Jesús lo encontraron al otro lado y le preguntaron:
— Maestro, ¿cuándo llegaste aquí?
26 Jesús les contestó:
— Estoy seguro de que me buscan no por los milagros que han visto, sino porque comieron pan hasta saciarse. 27 Deberían preocuparse no tanto por el alimento transitorio, cuanto por el duradero, el que da vida eterna. Este es el alimento que les dará el Hijo del hombre, a quien Dios Padre ha acreditado con su sello.
28 Ellos le preguntaron:
— ¿Qué debemos hacer para portarnos como Dios quiere?
29 Jesús respondió:
— Lo que Dios espera de ustedes es que crean en su enviado.
30 Ellos replicaron:
— ¿Cuáles son tus credenciales para que creamos en ti? ¿Qué es lo que tú haces? 31 Nuestros antepasados comieron el maná en el desierto, como dice la Escritura: Les dio a comer pan del cielo.
32 Jesús les respondió:
— Yo les aseguro que no fue Moisés el que les dio pan del cielo. Mi Padre es quien les da el verdadero pan del cielo. 33 El pan que Dios da, baja del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 Entonces le pidieron:
— Señor, danos siempre de ese pan.
35 Jesús les contestó:
— Yo soy el pan de la vida. El que viene a mí, jamás tendrá hambre; el que cree en mí, jamás tendrá sed. 36 Pero ustedes, como ya les he dicho, no creen a pesar de haber visto. 37 Todo aquel que el Padre me confía vendrá a mí, y yo no rechazaré al que venga a mí. 38 Porque yo he bajado del cielo, no para hacer lo que yo deseo, sino lo que desea el que me ha enviado. 39 Y lo que desea el que me ha enviado es que yo no pierda a ninguno de los que él me ha confiado, sino que los resucite en el último día. 40 Mi Padre quiere que todos los que vean al Hijo y crean en él, tengan vida eterna; yo, por mi parte, los resucitaré en el último día.
41 Los judíos comenzaron a criticar a Jesús porque había dicho que él era “el pan que ha bajado del cielo”. 42 Decían:
— ¿No es este Jesús, el hijo de José? Conocemos a su padre y a su madre. ¿Cómo se atreve a decir que ha bajado del cielo?
43 Jesús replicó:
— Dejen ya de criticar entre ustedes. 44 Nadie puede creer en mí si no se lo concede el Padre que me envió; yo, por mi parte, lo resucitaré en el último día. 45 En los libros proféticos está escrito: Todos serán adoctrinados por Dios. Todo el que escucha al Padre y recibe su enseñanza, cree en mí. 46 Esto no significa que alguien haya visto al Padre. Solamente aquel que ha venido de Dios, ha visto al Padre. 47 Les aseguro que quien cree, tiene vida eterna. 48 Yo soy el pan de la vida. 49 Los antepasados de ustedes comieron el maná en el desierto y, sin embargo, murieron. 50 Este, en cambio, es el pan que ha bajado del cielo para que, quien lo coma, no muera. 51 Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo. El que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre. Y el pan que yo voy a dar es mi carne, entregada para que el mundo tenga vida.
52 Esto suscitó una fuerte discusión entre los judíos, que se preguntaban:
— ¿Cómo puede este darnos a comer su carne?
53 Jesús les dijo:
— Les aseguro que, si no comen la carne del Hijo del hombre y no beben su sangre, no tendrán vida en ustedes. 54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna, y yo lo resucitaré en el último día. 55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida y mi sangre es verdadera bebida. 56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, permanece en mí, y yo en él. 57 El Padre, que me ha enviado, posee la vida y yo vivo gracias a él; así también, el que me coma vivirá gracias a mí. 58 Este es el pan que ha bajado del cielo, y que no es como el que comieron los antepasados y murieron; el que come de este pan vivirá para siempre.
59 Todo esto lo enseñó Jesús en la sinagoga de Cafarnaún.
Palabras de vida eterna
60 Al oír esto, muchos de los que seguían a Jesús dijeron:
— Esta enseñanza es inadmisible. ¿Quién puede aceptarla?
61 Jesús se dio cuenta de que muchos de sus seguidores criticaban su enseñanza, y les dijo:
— ¿Se les hace duro aceptar esto? 62 Pues ¿qué ocurriría si vieran al Hijo del hombre subir a donde estaba antes? 63 Es el espíritu el que da vida; la carne no sirve para nada. Las palabras que les he dicho son espíritu y vida. 64 Pero algunos de ustedes no creen.
Es que Jesús sabía desde el principio quiénes eran los que no creían y quién era el que lo iba a traicionar.
65 Y añadió:
— Por eso les he dicho que nadie puede creer en mí si no se lo concede mi Padre.
66 Desde entonces, muchos discípulos suyos se volvieron atrás y ya no andaban con él. 67 Jesús preguntó a los Doce:
— ¿También ustedes quieren dejarme?
68 Simón Pedro le respondió:
— Señor, ¿a quién iríamos? Sólo tus palabras dan vida eterna. 69 Nosotros creemos y sabemos que tú eres el Santo de Dios.
70 Jesús replicó:
— ¿No los elegí yo a los Doce? Sin embargo, uno de ustedes es un diablo.
71 Se refería a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote. Porque Judas, que era uno de los Doce, lo iba a traicionar.

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)
