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。

Expanded Bible
More than Five Thousand Fed(A)
6 After this, Jesus went ·across [to the other side of] ·Lake [T the Sea of] Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias). 2 Many people followed him because they saw the ·miracles [L signs; 2:11] he did ·to heal [L for; on behalf of] the sick. 3 Jesus went up on a ·hill [or mountain] and sat down there with his ·followers [disciples]. 4 It was almost the time for the Jewish Passover Feast [C the annual festival that celebrates God’s rescue of Israel from Egypt; Ex. 12; John 2:13].
5 When Jesus ·looked up [L raised his eyes] and saw a large crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip [C one of the twelve disciples; 1:43], “Where can we buy enough bread for all these people to eat?” 6 (Jesus asked Philip this question to test him, because Jesus already knew what he ·planned [was going] to do.)
7 Philip answered [L him], “·Someone would have to work almost a year to buy enough bread [L Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough; C a denarius was a unit of money worth about a day’s wages] for each person to have only a little piece.”
8 Another one of his ·followers [disciples], Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish, but ·that is not enough [L what are these…?] for so many people.”
10 Jesus said, “·Tell [L Make] the people to sit down.” There was plenty of grass there, and about five thousand men sat down there. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves of bread, ·thanked God [L gave thanks] for them, and ·gave [distributed] them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, giving as much as the people wanted.
12 When they ·had all had enough to eat [L were filled/satisfied], Jesus said to his ·followers [disciples], “Gather the leftover ·pieces of fish and bread [L pieces] so that nothing is wasted.” 13 So they gathered up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left from the five barley loaves [2 Kin. 4:42–44; C Jesus’ miracle surpasses that of Elisha].
14 When the people saw this ·miracle [L sign] that Jesus did, they said, “He must truly be the Prophet [1:21; C probably the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18] who is coming into the world.”
15 Jesus knew that the people ·planned [intended; were about] to come and take him by force and make him their king, so he ·left [withdrew] and went into the ·hills [or mountains] alone.
Jesus Walks on the Water(B)
16 That evening Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] went down to ·Lake Galilee [L the lake/sea]. 17 It was dark now, and Jesus had not yet ·come to [joined] them. The ·followers [disciples] 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 [L the sea/lake rose up]. 19 When they had rowed the boat about ·three or four miles [L twenty-five or thirty stadia; C a stadion was about 600 feet], they saw Jesus walking on the ·water [sea; lake], coming toward the boat. The ·followers [disciples] were afraid, 20 but Jesus said to them, “It is I [or “I am”; C there could be an echo here of Ex. 3:14]. Do not be afraid.” 21 Then they ·were glad [or were willing] to take him into the boat. ·At once [Immediately] the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go. [C The sea often stands for chaos, and God controls it.]
The People Seek Jesus
22 The next day the ·people [L crowd] who had stayed on the ·other [opposite] side of the ·lake [sea] knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his ·followers [disciples] but that they had left ·without him [L alone]. And they ·knew [L saw] that only one boat had been there. 23 But then some boats came from Tiberias [C a major city on the western shore of Lake Galilee] and landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 When the ·people [L crowd] saw that Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] were not there now, they got into boats and went to Capernaum to find Jesus.
Jesus, the Bread of Life
25 When ·the people [L they] found Jesus on the ·other [opposite] side of the ·lake [sea], they asked him, “·Teacher [L Rabbi], when did you come here?”
26 Jesus answered, “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], you aren’t looking for me because you saw ·me do miracles [L signs]. You are looking for me because you ate the bread and were ·satisfied [filled]. 27 Don’t work for the food that ·spoils [perishes]. Work for the food that ·stays good always and gives eternal life [L endures/remains/abides for eternal life]. The Son of Man [C a title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] will give you this food, because on him God the Father has ·put his power [L set his seal; C a seal impression signifies ownership and authority; 3:33].”
28 The people asked Jesus, “What ·are the things God wants us to do [L should we do to work the works of God]?”
29 Jesus answered, “·The work God wants you to do is this [L This is the work of God]: Believe the One he sent.”
30 So ·the people [L they] asked, “What ·miracle will you do? If we see a miracle, we will believe you [L sign will you do that we might see and believe you?]. What ·will you do [work will you perform]? 31 Our ·ancestors [forefathers; L fathers] ate the manna [C a flaky breadlike food that God provided the Israelites in the wilderness; Ex. 16:13–36] in the ·desert [wilderness]. ·This is written in the Scriptures [L As it is written]: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat [compare Ex. 16:4; Neh. 9:15; Ps. 78:24].’
32 [L Therefore; So; Then] Jesus said to them, “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven. 33 [L For] God’s bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 [L Therefore] ·the people [L they] said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “I am the ·bread that gives life [T bread of life]. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don’t believe. 37 ·The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me [L All/Everything the Father gives me will come to me], and I will ·always accept them [not reject them; L not cast them out]. 38 [L For] I came down from heaven to do ·what God wants me to do [L the will of him who sent me], not ·what I want to do [L my own will]. 39 Here is ·what the One who sent me wants me to do [L the will of him who sent me]: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day. 40 Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is ·what my Father wants [L the will of my Father].”
41 ·Some people [The Jewish leaders; L The Jews] began to ·complain [grumble; murmur] about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that comes down from heaven.” 42 They said, “·This is [L Is this not…?] Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he [L now] say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
43 But Jesus ·answered [responded], “Stop ·complaining to each other [grumbling/murmuring among yourselves]. 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 that person up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God [Is. 54:13].’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 ·No one has [or Not that anyone has] seen the Father except the One who is from God; only he has seen the Father. [C Some interpreters put the previous sentence in parentheses as a side comment made by the author.] 47 ·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the ·bread that gives life [T bread of life]. 49 Your ·ancestors [forefathers; L fathers] ate the manna [see 6:31] in the ·desert [wilderness], but still they died. 50 Here is the bread that comes down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give up so that the world may have life.”
52 Then the ·Jewish leaders [L Jews] began to ·argue [dispute; quarrel] among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 [L So] Jesus said to them, “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], you must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood. Otherwise, you won’t have ·real life [L life] in you. 54 Those who ·eat [feed on; C Jesus uses a different Greek word for “eat” in vv. 54–57 than in the previous verses; but the difference is probably stylistic] my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 55 [L For] My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who ·eat [feed on] my flesh and drink my blood ·live [remain; abide] in me, and I ·live [remain; abide] in them. 57 The living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father. So whoever ·eats [feeds on] me will live because of me. 58 I am not like the bread your ·ancestors [forefathers; L fathers] ate [C the manna; 6:31]. They ate that bread and still died. I am the bread that came down from heaven, and whoever ·eats [feeds on] this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus said all these things while he was teaching in the synagogue [C a local congregation of Jews] in Capernaum [2:12].
The Words of Eternal Life
60 When the ·followers [disciples; C a broader circle of followers, not the twelve disciples] of Jesus heard this, many of them said, “This teaching [C that Jesus is the bread of life; 6:25–59] is ·hard [difficult; offensive]. Who can ·accept [obey; L hear] it?”
61 Knowing that his ·followers [disciples] were ·complaining [grumbling] about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this teaching ·bother [offend] you? 62 Then ·will it also bother you to [L what if you] see the Son of Man ·going back [L going up; ascending] to the place ·where he came from [L where he was before; C heaven]? 63 It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh ·doesn’t give life [L is useless; counts for nothing]. The words I told you ·are spirit, and they give life [or are from the Spirit who gives life]. 64 But some of you don’t believe.” ([L For] Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe and who would ·turn against [betray] him.) 65 Jesus said, “That is the reason I said, ·‘If the Father does not bring a person to me, that one cannot come.’ [L ‘No one can come to me unless the Father enables/grants him.’]”
66 After Jesus said this, many of his ·followers [disciples] ·left him [L turned back to previous things] and ·stopped following [L no longer walked with] him.
67 Jesus asked ·the twelve followers [the Twelve], “Do you want to leave, too?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord [or Master], who would we go to? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One from God.”
70 Then Jesus answered them, “·I chose [L Did I not choose…?] all twelve of you, but one of you is ·a devil [or the Devil; C Jesus equates the work of Judas with the work of Satan; compare Mark 8:33].”
71 Jesus was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was one of the twelve, but later he was going to ·turn against [betray] Jesus.
