Juan 6
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Pinakain ni Jesus ang 5,000 Tao(A)
6 Pagkatapos nito, tumawid si Jesus sa Lawa ng Galilea, na tinatawag ding Lawa ng Tiberias. 2 Sinundan siya ng napakaraming tao dahil nakita nila ang mga himalang ginawa niya sa pagpapagaling ng mga may sakit. 3 Umakyat si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya sa isang bundok at naupo roon. 4 (Malapit na noon ang pista ng mga Judio na tinatawag na Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel.) 5 Nang tumingin si Jesus, nakita niya ang napakaraming taong papalapit sa kanya. Tinanong niya si Felipe, “Saan tayo makakabili ng pagkain para pakainin ang mga taong ito?” 6 (Tinanong niya ito upang subukan si Felipe, kahit alam na niya ang kanyang gagawin.) 7 Sumagot si Felipe, “Sa dami po nila, ang walong buwan na sahod ng isang tao ay hindi sapat para pakainin ng kahit tigkakaunti ang bawat isa.” 8 Sinabi naman ng isa sa mga tagasunod niyang si Andres na kapatid ni Pedro, 9 “May isang batang lalaki rito na may limang tinapay at dalawang isda. Pero kakasya ba naman ito sa dami ng tao?” 10 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Paupuin ninyo ang mga tao.” Umupo naman ang mga tao dahil madamo sa lugar na iyon. Ang bilang ng mga lalaki lang ay mga 5,000 na. 11 Kinuha ni Jesus ang tinapay at nagpasalamat sa Dios. Pagkatapos, ipinamahagi ito sa mga tao. Ganoon din ang ginawa niya sa isda, at nabusog ang lahat. 12 Pagkakain nila, sinabi ni Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya, “Tipunin nʼyo ang lahat ng natira para walang masayang.” 13 Tinipon nga nila ang natira mula sa limang tinapay na ipinakain sa mga tao at nakapuno sila ng 12 basket.
14 Nang makita ng mga tao ang himalang ginawa ni Jesus, sinabi nila, “Siguradong ito na nga ang propetang hinihintay nating darating dito sa mundo!” 15 Alam ni Jesus na balak ng mga taong kunin siya at sapilitang gawing hari. Kaya umalis siya roon at muling umakyat nang mag-isa sa bundok.
Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig(B)
16 Nang gumagabi na, nagpunta ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus sa tabi ng lawa. 17 Madilim na at wala pa rin si Jesus, kaya sumakay na sila sa isang bangka at tumawid papuntang Capernaum. 18 At habang tumatawid sila, nagsimulang lumakas ang hangin at lumaki ang mga alon. 19 Nang nakasagwan na sila ng mga anim o limang kilometro, nakita nila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig papalapit sa kanilang bangka. At natakot sila. 20 Pero sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ako ito! Huwag kayong matakot.” 21 Kaya pinasakay nila si Jesus sa bangka, at nakarating agad sila sa kanilang pupuntahan.
Hinanap ng mga Tao si Jesus
22-23 Kinabukasan, naroon pa ang mga tao sa kabila ng lawa, kung saan sila kumain ng tinapay matapos magpasalamat ng Panginoon. Alam nilang iisa lang ang bangka roon nang gabing iyon, at iyon ang sinakyan ng mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Alam din nilang hindi kasamang umalis si Jesus ng mga tagasunod niya. Samantala, may dumating na mga bangka galing sa Tiberias at dumaong malapit sa kinaroroonan ng mga tao. 24 Nang mapansin ng mga tao na wala na roon si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya, sumakay sila sa mga bangkang iyon at pumunta sa Capernaum para hanapin si Jesus.
Ang Pagkaing Nagbibigay-buhay
25 Pagdating ng mga tao sa Capernaum, nakita nila si Jesus at tinanong, “Guro, kailan pa po kayo dumating dito?” 26 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila, “Ang totoo, hinahanap nʼyo ako, hindi dahil sa mga nakita ninyong himala, kundi dahil nakakain kayo ng tinapay at nabusog. 27 Huwag kayong magtrabaho para lang sa pagkaing nasisira, kundi para sa pagkaing hindi nasisira at nakakapagbigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. Ako na Anak ng Tao ang siyang magbibigay sa inyo ng pagkaing ito, dahil ako ang binigyan ng Ama ng kapangyarihang magbigay nito.” 28 Kaya tinanong ng mga tao si Jesus, “Ano po ang dapat naming gawin upang masunod namin ang ipinapagawa ng Dios?” 29 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ito ang ipinapagawa ng Dios sa inyo: manampalataya kayo sa akin na isinugo niya.” 30 Nagtanong ang mga tao, “Anong himala po ang maipapakita nʼyo para manampalataya kami sa inyo? 31 Ang ating mga ninuno ay kumain ng ‘manna’ noong nasa ilang sila. Sapagkat ayon sa Kasulatan, binigyan sila ni Moises ng tinapay na mula sa langit.”[a] 32 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, hindi si Moises ang nagbigay sa mga ninuno ninyo ng tinapay na mula sa langit, kundi ang aking Ama. Siya ang nagbibigay sa inyo ng tunay na tinapay mula sa langit. 33 Sapagkat ang tinapay na ibinibigay ng Dios ay walang iba kundi siya na bumaba mula sa langit at nagbibigay-buhay sa mga tao sa mundo.” 34 Sinabi ng mga tao, “Palagi nʼyo po kaming bigyan ng sinasabi nʼyong tinapay.” 35 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ako ang tinapay na nagbibigay-buhay. Ang sinumang lumalapit at sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi na magugutom o mauuhaw kailanman.
36 “Ngunit gaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo, ayaw ninyong manampalataya sa akin kahit nakita na ninyo ang mga himalang ginawa ko. 37 Ang lahat ng taong ibinibigay sa akin ng Ama ay lalapit sa akin, at hinding-hindi ko itataboy ang mga lumalapit sa akin. 38 Sapagkat naparito ako mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ang sarili kong kalooban kundi ang kalooban ng aking Amang nagsugo sa akin. 39 At ito ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin: na huwag kong pabayaang mawala ang kahit isa sa mga ibinigay niya sa akin; sa halip ay bubuhayin ko silang muli sa huling araw. 40 Sapagkat kalooban ng aking Ama na ang lahat ng kumikilala at sumasampalataya sa Anak ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan, at bubuhayin ko silang muli sa huling araw.”
41 Samantala, nagbulung-bulungan ang mga Judio dahil sinabi ni Jesus na siya ang tinapay na mula sa langit. 42 Kaya sinabi nila, “Hindi baʼt si Jesus lang naman iyan na anak ni Jose? Bakit sinasabi niyang bumaba siya mula sa langit, samantalang kilala natin ang mga magulang niya?” 43 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Huwag kayong magbulung-bulungan. 44 Walang makakalapit sa akin maliban kung papalapitin siya ng Amang nagsugo sa akin. At ang mga lalapit sa akin ay bubuhayin kong muli sa huling araw. 45 Ayon sa isinulat ng mga propeta, ‘Tuturuan silang lahat ng Dios.’[b] Kaya ang lahat ng nakikinig at natututo sa Ama ay lalapit sa akin. 46 Hindi ito nangangahulugang may nakakita na sa Ama. Ako lang na nagmula sa Dios Ama ang nakakita sa kanya.
47 “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ang sumasampalataya sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan, 48 dahil ako ang tinapay na nagbibigay-buhay. 49 Kumain ng ‘manna’ ang mga ninuno ninyo noong nasa ilang sila, ngunit namatay din silang lahat. 50 Pero narito ang tinapay na mula sa langit, at hindi na mamamatay ang sinumang kumain nito. 51 Ako ang tinapay na mula sa langit. Mabubuhay magpakailanman ang sinumang kumain ng tinapay na ito. Sapagkat ang ibibigay kong tinapay para magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan ang mga tao sa mundo ay walang iba kundi ang aking katawan.”
52 Nagtalo-talo ang mga Judiong nakikinig kay Jesus. Sinabi nila, “Paano maibibigay sa atin ng taong ito ang kanyang katawan para kainin?” 53 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, malibang kainin ninyo ang katawan ng Anak ng Tao at inumin ang kanyang dugo, hindi kayo magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 54 Pero ang kumakain ng aking katawan at umiinom ng aking dugo ay may buhay na walang hanggan, at bubuhayin ko siyang muli sa huling araw. 55 Sapagkat ang aking katawan ay tunay na pagkain at ang aking dugo ay tunay na inumin. 56 Ang kumakain ng aking katawan at umiinom ng aking dugo ay nananatili sa akin, at ako naman sa kanya. 57 Ang Dios Amang nagsugo sa akin ang pinagmumulan ng buhay, at dahil sa kanya ay nabubuhay ako. Ganoon din naman, ang sinumang kumain sa akin ay mabubuhay dahil sa akin. 58 Ako ang tinapay na mula sa langit. Hindi ito tulad ng ‘manna’ na kinain ng inyong mga ninuno, dahil namatay pa rin sila kahit kumain sila noon. Ngunit ang sinumang kumain ng tinapay na ito ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.” 59 Sinabi ni Jesus ang mga bagay na ito nang nangangaral siya sa sambahan ng mga Judio sa Capernaum.
Ang mga Salitang Nagbibigay ng Buhay na Walang Hanggan
60 Nang marinig iyon ng mga tagasunod ni Jesus, marami sa kanila ang nagsabi, “Mabigat ang itinuturo niya. Sino ang makakatanggap nito?” 61 Kahit na walang nagsabi sa kanya, alam ni Jesus na nagbubulung-bulungan ang mga tagasunod niya dahil sa mga itinuro niya. Kaya sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hindi ba ninyo matanggap ang mga sinabi ko? 62 Paano pa kaya kung makita ninyo ako na Anak ng Tao na pumapaitaas pabalik sa aking pinanggalingan? 63 Ang Banal na Espiritu ang nagbibigay-buhay; hindi ito magagawa ng tao. Ang mga salitang sinabi ko sa inyo ay mula sa Espiritu at nakakapagbigay-buhay. 64 Pero may ilan sa inyo na hindi sumasampalataya.” Sinabi ito ni Jesus dahil alam niya sa simula pa kung sino ang mga hindi sumasampalataya, at kung sino ang magtatraydor sa kanya. 65 “Ito ang dahilan kaya sinabi ko sa inyong walang makakalapit sa akin malibang ipahintulot ng Ama.” Dagdag pa ni Jesus.
66 Mula noon, marami sa mga tagasunod niya ang tumalikod at hindi na sumunod sa kanya. 67 Kaya tinanong ni Jesus ang 12 apostol, “Kayo ba, gusto rin ninyong umalis?” 68 Sumagot si Simon Pedro, “Panginoon, kanino pa po kami pupunta? Kayo lang ang may mensaheng nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. 69 Sumasampalataya kami sa inyo at alam naming kayo ang Banal na sugo ng Dios.” 70 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi baʼt pinili ko kayong 12? Pero ang isa sa inyo ay diyablo!” 71 Ang tinutukoy ni Jesus ay si Judas na anak ni Simon Iscariote,[c] dahil kahit kabilang si Judas sa 12 apostol, tatraydurin niya si Jesus sa bandang huli.
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.

La Palabra (España)
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:
— Haced 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:
— Recoged 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 tengáis 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 buscáis no por los milagros que habéis visto, sino porque comisteis pan hasta saciaros. 27 Deberíais preocuparos no tanto por el alimento transitorio, cuanto por el duradero, el que da vida eterna. Este es el alimento que os 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 vosotros es que creáis 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 os aseguro que no fue Moisés el que os dio pan del cielo. Mi Padre es quien os 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 vosotros, como ya os he dicho, no creéis 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:
— Dejad ya de criticar entre vosotros. 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 Os aseguro que quien cree, tiene vida eterna. 48 Yo soy el pan de la vida. 49 Vuestros antepasados 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:
— Os aseguro que, si no coméis la carne del Hijo del hombre y no bebéis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros. 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 os hace duro aceptar esto? 62 Pues ¿qué ocurriría si vieseis 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 os he dicho son espíritu y vida. 64 Pero algunos de vosotros 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 os 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 vosotros queréis 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 os elegí yo a los Doce? Sin embargo, uno de vosotros es un diablo.
71 Se refería a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote. Porque Judas, que era uno de los Doce, lo iba a traicionar.
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)
