John 6
King James Version
6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men 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 to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

3. LA PASQUA DEL PANE DI VITA (NUOVO RIFIUTO DELLA RIVELAZIONE)
La moltiplicazione dei pani
6 Dopo questi fatti, Gesù andò all'altra riva del mare di Galilea, cioè di Tiberìade, 2 e una grande folla lo seguiva, vedendo i segni che faceva sugli infermi. 3 Gesù salì sulla montagna e là si pose a sedere con i suoi discepoli. 4 Era vicina la Pasqua, la festa dei Giudei. 5 Alzati quindi gli occhi, Gesù vide che una grande folla veniva da lui e disse a Filippo: «Dove possiamo comprare il pane perché costoro abbiano da mangiare?». 6 Diceva così per metterlo alla prova; egli infatti sapeva bene quello che stava per fare. 7 Gli rispose Filippo: «Duecento denari di pane non sono sufficienti neppure perché ognuno possa riceverne un pezzo». 8 Gli disse allora uno dei discepoli, Andrea, fratello di Simon Pietro: 9 «C'è qui un ragazzo che ha cinque pani d'orzo e due pesci; ma che cos'è questo per tanta gente?». 10 Rispose Gesù: «Fateli sedere». C'era molta erba in quel luogo. Si sedettero dunque ed erano circa cinquemila uomini. 11 Allora Gesù prese i pani e, dopo aver reso grazie, li distribuì a quelli che si erano seduti, e lo stesso fece dei pesci, finché ne vollero. 12 E quando furono saziati, disse ai discepoli: «Raccogliete i pezzi avanzati, perché nulla vada perduto». 13 Li raccolsero e riempirono dodici canestri con i pezzi dei cinque pani d'orzo, avanzati a coloro che avevano mangiato.
14 Allora la gente, visto il segno che egli aveva compiuto, cominciò a dire: «Questi è davvero il profeta che deve venire nel mondo!». 15 Ma Gesù, sapendo che stavano per venire a prenderlo per farlo re, si ritirò di nuovo sulla montagna, tutto solo.
Gesù raggiunge i discepoli camminando sul mare
16 Venuta intanto la sera, i suoi discepoli scesero al mare 17 e, saliti in una barca, si avviarono verso l'altra riva in direzione di Cafarnao. Era ormai buio, e Gesù non era ancora venuto da loro. 18 Il mare era agitato, perché soffiava un forte vento. 19 Dopo aver remato circa tre o quattro miglia, videro Gesù che camminava sul mare e si avvicinava alla barca, ed ebbero paura. 20 Ma egli disse loro: «Sono io, non temete». 21 Allora vollero prenderlo sulla barca e rapidamente la barca toccò la riva alla quale erano diretti.
Discorso nella sinagoga di Cafarnao
22 Il giorno dopo, la folla, rimasta dall'altra parte del mare, notò che c'era una barca sola e che Gesù non era salito con i suoi discepoli sulla barca, ma soltanto i suoi discepoli erano partiti. 23 Altre barche erano giunte nel frattempo da Tiberìade, presso il luogo dove avevano mangiato il pane dopo che il Signore aveva reso grazie. 24 Quando dunque la folla vide che Gesù non era più là e nemmeno i suoi discepoli, salì sulle barche e si diresse alla volta di Cafarnao alla ricerca di Gesù. 25 Trovatolo di là dal mare, gli dissero: «Rabbì, quando sei venuto qua?».
26 Gesù rispose: «In verità, in verità vi dico, voi mi cercate non perché avete visto dei segni, ma perché avete mangiato di quei pani e vi siete saziati. 27 Procuratevi non il cibo che perisce, ma quello che dura per la vita eterna, e che il Figlio dell'uomo vi darà. Perché su di lui il Padre, Dio, ha messo il suo sigillo». 28 Gli dissero allora: «Che cosa dobbiamo fare per compiere le opere di Dio?». 29 Gesù rispose: «Questa è l'opera di Dio: credere in colui che egli ha mandato».
30 Allora gli dissero: «Quale segno dunque tu fai perché vediamo e possiamo crederti? Quale opera compi? 31 I nostri padri hanno mangiato la manna nel deserto, come sta scritto: Diede loro da mangiare un pane dal cielo». 32 Rispose loro Gesù: «In verità, in verità vi dico: non Mosè vi ha dato il pane dal cielo, ma il Padre mio vi dà il pane dal cielo, quello vero; 33 il pane di Dio è colui che discende dal cielo e dà la vita al mondo». 34 Allora gli dissero: «Signore, dacci sempre questo pane». 35 Gesù rispose: «Io sono il pane della vita; chi viene a me non avrà più fame e chi crede in me non avrà più sete. 36 Vi ho detto però che voi mi avete visto e non credete. 37 Tutto ciò che il Padre mi dà, verrà a me; colui che viene a me, non lo respingerò, 38 perché sono disceso dal cielo non per fare la mia volontà, ma la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato. 39 E questa è la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato, che io non perda nulla di quanto egli mi ha dato, ma lo risusciti nell'ultimo giorno. 40 Questa infatti è la volontà del Padre mio, che chiunque vede il Figlio e crede in lui abbia la vita eterna; io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno».
41 Intanto i Giudei mormoravano di lui perché aveva detto: «Io sono il pane disceso dal cielo». 42 E dicevano: «Costui non è forse Gesù, il figlio di Giuseppe? Di lui conosciamo il padre e la madre. Come può dunque dire: Sono disceso dal cielo?».
43 Gesù rispose: «Non mormorate tra di voi. 44 Nessuno può venire a me, se non lo attira il Padre che mi ha mandato; e io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno. 45 Sta scritto nei profeti: E tutti saranno ammaestrati da Dio. Chiunque ha udito il Padre e ha imparato da lui, viene a me. 46 Non che alcuno abbia visto il Padre, ma solo colui che viene da Dio ha visto il Padre. 47 In verità, in verità vi dico: chi crede ha la vita eterna.
48 Io sono il pane della vita. 49 I vostri padri hanno mangiato la manna nel deserto e sono morti; 50 questo è il pane che discende dal cielo, perché chi ne mangia non muoia. 51 Io sono il pane vivo, disceso dal cielo. Se uno mangia di questo pane vivrà in eterno e il pane che io darò è la mia carne per la vita del mondo».
52 Allora i Giudei si misero a discutere tra di loro: «Come può costui darci la sua carne da mangiare?». 53 Gesù disse: «In verità, in verità vi dico: se non mangiate la carne del Figlio dell'uomo e non bevete il suo sangue, non avrete in voi la vita. 54 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha la vita eterna e io lo risusciterò nell'ultimo giorno. 55 Perché la mia carne è vero cibo e il mio sangue vera bevanda. 56 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue dimora in me e io in lui. 57 Come il Padre, che ha la vita, ha mandato me e io vivo per il Padre, così anche colui che mangia di me vivrà per me. 58 Questo è il pane disceso dal cielo, non come quello che mangiarono i padri vostri e morirono. Chi mangia questo pane vivrà in eterno».
59 Queste cose disse Gesù, insegnando nella sinagoga a Cafarnao. 60 Molti dei suoi discepoli, dopo aver ascoltato, dissero: «Questo linguaggio è duro; chi può intenderlo?». 61 Gesù, conoscendo dentro di sé che i suoi discepoli proprio di questo mormoravano, disse loro: «Questo vi scandalizza? 62 E se vedeste il Figlio dell'uomo salire là dov'era prima? 63 E' lo Spirito che dà la vita, la carne non giova a nulla; le parole che vi ho dette sono spirito e vita. 64 Ma vi sono alcuni tra voi che non credono». Gesù infatti sapeva fin da principio chi erano quelli che non credevano e chi era colui che lo avrebbe tradito. 65 E continuò: «Per questo vi ho detto che nessuno può venire a me, se non gli è concesso dal Padre mio».
66 Da allora molti dei suoi discepoli si tirarono indietro e non andavano più con lui.
La confessione di Pietro
67 Disse allora Gesù ai Dodici: «Forse anche voi volete andarvene?». 68 Gli rispose Simon Pietro: «Signore, da chi andremo? Tu hai parole di vita eterna; 69 noi abbiamo creduto e conosciuto che tu sei il Santo di Dio». 70 Rispose Gesù: «Non ho forse scelto io voi, i Dodici? Eppure uno di voi è un diavolo!». Egli parlava di Giuda, figlio di Simone Iscariota: questi infatti stava per tradirlo, uno dei Dodici.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

给五千人吃饱
6 这事以后，耶稣渡过加利利海，就是提比哩亚海。 2 有许多人因为看见他在病人身上所行的神迹，就跟随他。 3 耶稣上了山，和门徒一同坐在那里。 4 那时犹太人的逾越节近了。 5 耶稣举目看见许多人来，就对腓力说：“我们从哪里买饼叫这些人吃呢？” 6 他说这话是要试验腓力，他自己原知道要怎样行。 7 腓力回答说：“就是二十两银子的饼，叫他们各人吃一点也是不够的。” 8 有一个门徒，就是西门彼得的兄弟安得烈，对耶稣说： 9 “在这里有一个孩童，带着五个大麦饼、两条鱼，只是分给这许多人还算什么呢？” 10 耶稣说：“你们叫众人坐下。”原来那地方的草多。众人就坐下，数目约有五千。 11 耶稣拿起饼来，祝谢了，就分给那坐着的人，分鱼也是这样，都随着他们所要的。 12 他们吃饱了，耶稣对门徒说：“把剩下的零碎收拾起来，免得有糟蹋的。” 13 他们便将那五个大麦饼的零碎，就是众人吃了剩下的，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：“这真是那要到世间来的先知！”
15 耶稣既知道众人要来强逼他做王，就独自又退到山上去了。
耶稣履海
16 到了晚上，他的门徒下海边去， 17 上了船，要过海往迦百农去。天已经黑了，耶稣还没有来到他们那里。 18 忽然狂风大作，海就翻腾起来。 19 门徒摇橹约行了十里多路，看见耶稣在海面上走，渐渐近了船，他们就害怕。 20 耶稣对他们说：“是我，不要怕！” 21 门徒就喜欢接他上船，船立时到了他们所要去的地方。
22 第二日，站在海那边的众人知道那里没有别的船，只有一只小船，又知道耶稣没有同他的门徒上船，乃是门徒自己去的。 23 然而有几只小船从提比哩亚来，靠近主祝谢后分饼给人吃的地方。
当为永生的食物劳力
24 众人见耶稣和门徒都不在那里，就上了船，往迦百农去找耶稣。 25 既在海那边找着了，就对他说：“拉比，是几时到这里来的？” 26 耶稣回答说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：你们找我，并不是因见了神迹，乃是因吃饼得饱。 27 不要为那必坏的食物劳力，要为那存到永生的食物劳力，就是人子要赐给你们的，因为人子是父神所印证的。” 28 众人问他说：“我们当行什么，才算做神的工呢？” 29 耶稣回答说：“信神所差来的，这就是做神的工。” 30 他们又说：“你行什么神迹，叫我们看见就信你？你到底做什么事呢？ 31 我们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪，如经上写着说：‘他从天上赐下粮来给他们吃。’” 32 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的，乃是我父将天上来的真粮赐给你们。 33 因为神的粮就是那从天上降下来赐生命给世界的。”
耶稣为生命的粮
34 他们说：“主啊，常将这粮赐给我们！” 35 耶稣说：“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴。 36 只是我对你们说过，你们已经看见我，还是不信。 37 凡父所赐给我的人，必到我这里来；到我这里来的，我总不丢弃他。 38 因为我从天上降下来，不是要按自己的意思行，乃是要按那差我来者的意思行。 39 差我来者的意思就是：他所赐给我的，叫我一个也不失落，在末日却叫他复活。 40 因为我父的意思是叫一切见子而信的人得永生，并且在末日我要叫他复活。”
犹太人议论主
41 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 说：“这不是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗？他的父母我们岂不认得吗？他如今怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’呢？” 43 耶稣回答说：“你们不要大家议论。 44 若不是差我来的父吸引人，就没有能到我这里来的；到我这里来的，在末日我要叫他复活。 45 在先知书上写着说：‘他们都要蒙神的教训。’凡听见父之教训又学习的，就到我这里来。 46 这不是说有人看见过父，唯独从神来的，他看见过父。 47 我实实在在地告诉你们：信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的粮。 49 你们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪，还是死了； 50 这是从天上降下来的粮，叫人吃了就不死。 51 我是从天上降下来生命的粮，人若吃这粮，就必永远活着。我所要赐的粮就是我的肉，为世人之生命所赐的。”
52 因此，犹太人彼此争论说：“这个人怎能把他的肉给我们吃呢？” 53 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人就有永生，在末日我要叫他复活。 55 我的肉真是可吃的，我的血真是可喝的。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我里面，我也常在他里面。 57 永活的父怎样差我来，我又因父活着，照样，吃我肉的人也要因我活着。 58 这就是从天上降下来的粮。吃这粮的人就永远活着，不像你们的祖宗吃过吗哪还是死了。” 59 这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教训人说的。
主的话是灵是生命
60 他的门徒中有好些人听见了，就说：“这话甚难，谁能听呢？” 61 耶稣心里知道门徒为这话议论，就对他们说：“这话是叫你们厌弃[a]吗？ 62 倘或你们看见人子升到他原来所在之处，怎么样呢？ 63 叫人活着的乃是灵，肉体是无益的。我对你们所说的话就是灵，就是生命。 64 只是你们中间有不信的人。”耶稣从起头就知道谁不信他，谁要卖他。 65 耶稣又说：“所以我对你们说过，若不是蒙我父的恩赐，没有人能到我这里来。”
彼得认耶稣为神的圣者
66 从此，他门徒中多有退去的，不再和他同行。 67 耶稣就对那十二个门徒说：“你们也要去吗？” 68 西门彼得回答说：“主啊，你有永生之道，我们还归从谁呢？ 69 我们已经信了，又知道你是神的圣者。” 70 耶稣说：“我不是拣选了你们十二个门徒吗？但你们中间有一个是魔鬼。” 71 耶稣这话是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的，他本是十二个门徒里的一个，后来要卖耶稣的。
