Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Isus hrani više od pet tisuća ljudi
(Mt 14,13-21; Mk 6,30-44; Lk 9,10-17)
6 Nakon toga, Isus je pošao na drugu obalu Galilejskog jezera koje se zove i Tiberijadsko. 2 Mnoštvo je krenulo za njim jer su vidjeli čuda koja je učinio bolesnima. 3 Isus se popeo na brežuljak i ondje sjeo sa svojim učenicima. 4 Bližilo se vrijeme židovskoga blagdana Pashe.
5 Kad je Isus podigao pogled i vidio kako mu se približava veliko mnoštvo, rekao je Filipu: »Gdje ćemo kupiti kruh da nahranimo sve ove ljude?« 6 Tim ga je riječima zapravo iskušavao. Isus je već znao što će učiniti.
7 Filip mu je odgovorio: »Ni za dvije stotine srebrnjaka ne bi se moglo kupiti dovoljno kruha da svatko dobije barem komadić.«
8 Andrija, jedan od njegovih učenika i brat Šimuna Petra, rekao mu je: 9 »Ovdje je dječačić koji ima pet ječmenih kruhova i dvije ribe. Ali premalo je to za tolike ljude!«
10 »Neka svi sjednu«, rekao je Isus. Uokolo je sve bilo obraslo travom pa su ljudi posjedali. Bilo je tu oko pet tisuća muškaraca. 11 Tada je Isus uzeo kruhove, zahvalio Bogu i proslijedio ih ljudima koji su sjedili uokolo. Isto je učinio i s ribom, a svi su jeli koliko god su htjeli. Kad su se nasitili, 12 Isus je rekao učenicima: »Sakupite komade koji su ostali, da ništa ne propadne.« 13 Tako su učinili i komadima su kruha napunili dvanaest košara. Toliko je preostalo nakon jela.
14 Kad su ljudi vidjeli čudesni znak koji je Isus učinio, počeli su govoriti: »Ovo je sigurno Prorok[a] koji treba doći na svijet!«
15 Isus je znao da ga namjeravaju uhvatiti i na silu učiniti kraljem pa se ponovo sâm povukao na brdo.
Isus hoda po vodi
(Mt 14,22-27; Mk 6,45-52)
16 Kad se spustila večer, njegovi su se učenici spustili do jezera. 17 Ušli su u lađicu i otisnuli se preko jezera prema Kafarnaumu. Već je pala i noć, a Isus još uvijek nije došao k njima. 18 Puhao je jak vjetar te su se podigli veliki valovi. 19 Kad su učenici otplovili četiri ili pet kilometara prema pučini, ugledali su Isusa kako hoda po jezeru. Približavao se njihovoj lađici, a njih je uhvatio strah. 20 »Ne bojte se! Ja sam«, rekao im je Isus. 21 Tada su ga primili u lađicu, a lađica se odjednom našla uz obalu, upravo na mjestu na koje su se bili uputili.
Narod traži Isusa
22 Osvanuo je novi dan. Mnoštvo, koje je ostalo na drugoj obali jezera, prisjetilo se da se ondje nalazila samo jedna lađica. Znali su da Isus nije ušao u nju i da su njegovi učenici otplovili sami. 23 Neke su lađice iz Tiberijade pristale blizu mjesta na kojem su ljudi jeli kruh nakon što je Gospodin zahvalio Bogu. 24 Kad su vidjeli da ondje više nema ni Isusa ni njegovih učenika, ukrcali su se u lađice i otisnuli prema Kafarnaumu da ondje potraže Isusa.
25 Kad su ga pronašli na drugoj obali jezera, upitali su ga: »Učitelju, kada si došao ovamo?«
26 Na to im je Isus odgovorio: »Istinu vam kažem. Ne tražite vi mene zbog toga što ste razumjeli čudesne znakove, nego zbog kruha koji ste jeli i nasitili se. 27 Ne trudite se oko hrane koja se kvari, već oko hrane koja se nikad ne kvari i koja daje vječni život. Takvu će vam hranu dati Sin Čovječji jer ga je za to ovlastio Bog Otac.«
28 »Što moramo raditi«, upitali su ga tada, »da činimo djela koja želi Bog?«
29 Isus im je na to odgovorio: »Vjerujte u onoga koga je on poslao. To je Božja volja.«
30 »Čime nam možeš dokazati da si ti taj?« pitalo je mnoštvo ljudi. »Daj da vidimo neki znak pa ćemo ti vjerovati. 31 Naši su preci jeli manu u pustinji, baš kao što piše u Svetom pismu: ‘Dao im je kruh s Neba da jedu’[b].«
32 Isus im je rekao: »Govorim vam istinu. Nije vam Mojsije dao kruh s Neba. Moj vam Otac daje pravi kruh s Neba. 33 Jer, kruh koji daje Bog jest kruh koji dolazi s Neba i daje život svijetu.«
34 »Gospodine«, rekli su mu, »daj nam uvijek toga kruha!«
35 »Ja sam kruh života«, odgovorio im je Isus. »Tko dođe k meni, nikada više neće ogladnjeti. Tko vjeruje u mene, nikada više neće ožednjeti. 36 Ali već sam vam rekao da ste me vidjeli pa ipak ne vjerujete. 37 Sve koje mi Otac dâ, uzet ću k sebi. Neću izbaciti nikoga tko dođe k meni. 38 Nisam sišao s Neba da činim svoju volju, nego volju onoga koji me je poslao. 39 A volja onoga koji me je poslao jest da ne izgubim ni jednoga od onih koje mi je dao, već da ih sve uskrisim u posljednji dan. 40 Moj Otac želi da svatko tko vidi Sina i povjeruje u njega, ima vječni život. Toga ću ja uskrisiti u posljednji dan.«
41 Tada su Židovi počeli gunđati i prigovarati Isusu što je rekao: »Ja sam kruh koji je sišao s Neba.« 42 Govorili su: »Pa to je Isus, Josipov sin! Poznajemo mu i oca i majku. Kako može tvrditi: ‘Ja sam sišao s Neba?’«
43 Na to im je Isus rekao: »Prestanite mrmljati! 44 K meni mogu doći samo oni koje Otac, koji me je poslao, dovede k meni. A ja ću ih uskrisiti u posljednji dan. 45 Proroci su pisali: ‘Sve će ih Bog poučiti.’[c] Svatko tko sluša Oca i uči od njega, dolazi k meni. 46 To ipak ne znači da je itko vidio Oca. Oca je vidio samo onaj tko dolazi od njega. 47 Govorim vam istinu. Tko vjeruje, ima vječni život. 48 Ja sam kruh koji daje život. 49 Vaši su preci jeli manu u pustinji pa su ipak umrli. 50 Ovo je pak kruh koji je sišao s Neba. Tko jede ovaj kruh, neće nikada umrijeti. 51 Ja sam živi kruh koji je sišao s Neba. Tko bude jeo ovaj kruh, živjet će zauvijek. Kruh, koji ću ja dati, moje je tijelo koje dajem da svijet može živjeti.«
52 Tada su se Židovi počeli među sobom prepirati. Pitali su se: »Kako nam on može dati svoje tijelo za jelo?«
53 Isus im je rekao: »Govorim vam istinu. Morate jesti tijelo Sina Čovječjeg i piti njegovu krv inače nećete imati u sebi život. 54 Tko jede moje tijelo i pije moju krv, ima vječni život i ja ću ga uskrisiti u posljednji dan. 55 Moje je tijelo istinska hrana, a moja je krv istinsko piće. 56 Tko jede moje tijelo i pije moju krv, živi u meni i ja u njemu. 57 Otac, koji me poslao, živ je i ja živim zbog njega. Tako će i onaj koji mene jede, živjeti zbog mene. 58 Ovo je kruh koji je sišao s Neba. Nije kao onaj što su ga jeli vaši preci pa ipak umrli. Tko jede ovaj kruh, živjet će zauvijek.« 59 Sve je ovo Isus rekao dok je poučavao u sinagogi[d] u Kafarnaumu.
Mnogi napuštaju Isusa
60 Kad su ovo čuli, mnogi su Isusovi učenici rekli: »Ovo je učenje teško prihvatiti. Tko to može slušati?«
61 Isus je u sebi znao da je bilo mrmljanja zbog njegovih riječi pa im je rekao: »Ovo vas učenje uznemiruje? 62 Što biste rekli kad biste vidjeli Sina Čovječjeg kako se vraća onamo gore, gdje je prije bio? 63 Duh je taj koji daje život. Tijelo ga ne može dati. Riječi, koje sam vam uputio, jesu duh i daju život. Ipak, neki mi od vas ne vjeruju.« 64 Isus je, naime, od samoga početka znao tko su ti koji ne vjeruju i tko je taj koji će ga izdati. Stoga je rekao: 65 »Zato sam vam rekao: ‘Nitko ne može doći k meni ako mu to ne omogući Bog!’«
66 Kad su to čuli njegovi učenici, mnogi su se povukli i nisu ga više slijedili.
67 Tada je Isus upitao Dvanaestoricu: »Želite li i vi otići?«
68 »Gospodaru«, odgovorio mu je Šimun Petar, »komu ćemo poći? Ti imaš riječi koje daju vječni život. 69 Mi vjerujemo i znamo da si ti Božji Mesija[e].«
70 Isus im je odvratio: »Zar nisam ja odabrao vas dvanaestoricu? A ipak je jedan od vas đavao.«
71 Mislio je na Judu, sina Šimuna Iskariotskoga. Premda je bio jedan od dvanaestorice apostola, Juda je kasnije izdao Isusa.

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)
Johannes 6
Hoffnung für Alle
Fünftausend werden satt (Matthäus 14,13‒21; Markus 6,30‒44; Lukas 9,10‒17)
6 Danach fuhr Jesus an das andere Ufer des Sees Genezareth, den man auch See von Tiberias nennt. 2 Eine große Menschenmenge folgte ihm dorthin, weil sie die Wunder gesehen hatten, mit denen er Kranke heilte. 3 Zusammen mit seinen Jüngern ging Jesus auf einen Berg, und dort setzten sie sich. 4 Das jüdische Passahfest stand kurz bevor.
5 Als Jesus aufblickte, sah er die vielen Menschen, die zu ihm kamen. Darauf wandte er sich an Philippus: »Wo können wir für alle diese Leute Brot kaufen?« 6 Er fragte dies, um zu sehen, ob Philippus ihm vertraute; denn er wusste schon, wie er die Menschen versorgen würde. 7 Philippus überlegte: »Wir müssten über 200 Silberstücke ausgeben, wenn wir für jeden auch nur ein wenig Brot kaufen wollten.« 8 Da sagte ein anderer von seinen Jüngern zu Jesus – es war Andreas, der Bruder von Simon Petrus: 9 »Hier ist ein Junge, der hat fünf Gerstenbrote und zwei Fische dabei. Aber was ist das schon für so viele Menschen!«
10 Jetzt forderte Jesus die Jünger auf: »Sagt den Leuten, dass sie sich hinsetzen sollen!« Etwa fünftausend Männer ließen sich auf dem Boden nieder, der dort von dichtem Gras bewachsen war, außerdem noch viele Frauen und Kinder. 11 Dann nahm Jesus die fünf Gerstenbrote, dankte Gott dafür und ließ sie an die Menschen austeilen. Ebenso machte er es mit den Fischen. Jeder bekam so viel, wie er wollte. 12 Als alle satt waren, sagte Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: »Sammelt die Reste ein, damit nichts verdirbt!« 13 Das taten sie und füllten noch zwölf Körbe mit den Resten. So viel war von den fünf Gerstenbroten übrig geblieben.
14 Als die Leute begriffen, was für ein Wunder Jesus getan hatte, riefen sie begeistert: »Das ist wirklich der Prophet, der in die Welt kommen soll, so wie Mose es angekündigt hat!«[a] 15 Jesus merkte, dass die Leute kurz davor standen, ihn festzuhalten und zu ihrem König auszurufen. Deshalb zog er sich wieder auf den Berg zurück, er ganz allein.
Jesus geht auf dem Wasser (Matthäus 14,22‒33; Markus 6,45‒52)
16 Am Abend gingen seine Jünger hinunter an den See. 17 Sie stiegen in ein Boot, um nach Kapernaum überzusetzen. Die Nacht brach herein, und Jesus war nicht bei ihnen. 18 Ein heftiger Sturm kam auf und schlug hohe Wellen. 19 Die Jünger waren schon etwa fünf Kilometer weit gerudert, als sie plötzlich Jesus sahen. Er ging über das Wasser auf ihr Boot zu. Da packte sie die Angst. 20 Doch Jesus rief ihnen zu: »Habt keine Angst! Ich bin es!« 21 Sie wollten ihn noch zu sich ins Boot nehmen; aber da hatten sie schon ihr Ziel am Ufer erreicht.
Wo ist Jesus?
22 Am nächsten Morgen erinnerten sich die Menschen, die auf der anderen Seite des Sees geblieben waren, dass nur ein Boot am Ufer gelegen hatte. Sie hatten gesehen, wie die Jünger damit wegfuhren, aber Jesus war nicht bei ihnen gewesen. 23 Inzwischen legten mehrere Boote aus Tiberias nahe bei der Stelle an, wo die Menschenmenge nach dem Dankgebet des Herrn das Brot gegessen hatte. 24 Weil nun Jesus und seine Jünger nirgends zu finden waren, stiegen alle in diese Boote und fuhren hinüber nach Kapernaum, um ihn dort zu suchen.
Das Brot des Lebens
25 Als sie Jesus auf der anderen Seite des Sees gefunden hatten, fragten sie ihn: »Rabbi, wann bist du denn hierhergekommen?« 26 Jesus antwortete ihnen: »Ich weiß, weshalb ihr mich sucht: doch nur, weil ihr von mir Brot bekommen habt und satt geworden seid; nicht weil ihr verstanden hättet, was diese Wunder bedeuten! 27 Bemüht euch doch nicht nur um das vergängliche Brot, das ihr zum täglichen Leben braucht! Setzt alles dafür ein, die Nahrung zu bekommen, die bis ins ewige Leben reicht[b]. Diese wird der Menschensohn euch geben. Denn Gott, der Vater, hat ihn als seinen Gesandten bestätigt und ihm die Macht dazu verliehen.«
28 Da fragten sie ihn: »Was sollen wir tun, um Gottes Willen zu erfüllen?« 29 Er erwiderte: »Nur eins erwartet Gott von euch: Ihr sollt an den glauben, den er gesandt hat.« 30 »Wenn wir an dich glauben sollen«, wandten sie ein, »musst du uns schon beweisen, dass du im Auftrag Gottes handelst! Kannst du nicht ein Wunder tun? Vielleicht so eines wie damals, 31 als unsere Vorfahren in der Wüste jeden Tag Manna aßen? Es heißt doch in der Heiligen Schrift: ›Er gab ihnen Brot vom Himmel.‹[c]«
32 Jesus entgegnete: »Ich versichere euch: Nicht Mose gab euch das Brot vom Himmel! Das wahre Brot vom Himmel gibt euch jetzt mein Vater. 33 Und nur dieses Brot, das vom Himmel herabkommt, schenkt den Menschen das Leben.« 34 »Herr, gib uns jeden Tag dieses Brot!«, baten sie ihn.
35 »Ich bin das Brot des Lebens«, sagte Jesus zu ihnen. »Wer zu mir kommt, wird niemals wieder hungrig sein, und wer an mich glaubt, wird nie wieder Durst haben. 36 Doch ich habe euch ja schon einmal gesagt: Ihr glaubt nicht an mich, obwohl ihr mich mit eigenen Augen seht. 37 Alle Menschen, die mir der Vater gibt, werden zu mir kommen, und keinen von ihnen werde ich je abweisen. 38 Denn ich bin nicht vom Himmel herabgekommen, um zu tun, was ich will, sondern um den Willen des Vaters zu erfüllen, der mich gesandt hat. 39 Und das ist sein Wille: Kein Einziger von denen, die er mir anvertraut hat, soll verloren gehen. Ich werde sie alle am letzten Tag vom Tod auferwecken. 40 Denn nach dem Willen meines Vaters hat jeder, der den Sohn sieht und an ihn glaubt, das ewige Leben. Ich werde ihn am letzten Tag zum Leben erwecken.«
41 Weil Jesus behauptet hatte: »Ich bin das Brot, das vom Himmel herabgekommen ist«, riefen die Juden empört: 42 »Was? Das ist doch Jesus, Josefs Sohn. Wir kennen schließlich seinen Vater und seine Mutter. Wie kann er da behaupten: ›Ich bin vom Himmel gekommen‹?«
43 Jesus antwortete auf ihre Vorwürfe: »Warum empört ihr euch so? 44 Keiner kann zu mir kommen, wenn nicht der Vater, der mich gesandt hat, ihn zu mir bringt. Und alle diese Menschen, die er mir gibt, werde ich am letzten Tag vom Tod auferwecken.
45 Bei den Propheten heißt es: ›Alle werden von Gott lernen!‹[d] Wer also auf den Vater hört und von ihm lernt, der kommt zu mir. 46 Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass jemals ein Mensch den Vater gesehen hat. Nur einer hat ihn wirklich gesehen: der Eine, der von Gott gekommen ist. 47 Ich sage euch die Wahrheit: Wer an mich glaubt, der hat das ewige Leben!
48 Ich selbst bin das Brot, das euch dieses Leben gibt! 49 Eure Vorfahren haben in der Wüste das Manna gegessen und sind doch alle gestorben. 50 Aber hier ist das wahre Brot, das vom Himmel herabkommt. Wer davon isst, wird nicht sterben. 51 Ich selbst bin dieses Brot, das von Gott gekommen ist und euch das Leben gibt. Wer von diesem Brot isst, wird ewig leben. Dieses Brot ist mein Leib, den ich hingeben werde, damit die Menschen leben können.«
52 Nach diesen Worten kam es unter den Juden zu einer heftigen Auseinandersetzung. »Will dieser Mensch uns etwa seinen Leib zu essen geben?«, fragten sie.
53 Darauf erwiderte Jesus: »Ja, ich versichere euch: Wenn ihr den Leib des Menschensohnes nicht esst und sein Blut nicht trinkt, habt ihr das Leben nicht in euch. 54 Nur wer meinen Leib isst und mein Blut trinkt, der hat das ewige Leben, und ihn werde ich am letzten Tag auferwecken. 55 Denn mein Leib ist die wahre Nahrung und mein Blut der Leben spendende Trank. 56 Wer meinen Leib isst und mein Blut trinkt, der bleibt in mir, und ich bleibe in ihm. 57 Ich lebe durch die Kraft Gottes, des lebendigen Vaters, der mich gesandt hat. Ebenso wird jeder, der meinen Leib isst, durch mich leben. 58 Nun wisst ihr, was ich mit dem Brot meine, das vom Himmel zu euch herabgekommen ist! Eure Vorfahren haben zwar auch in der Wüste Brot vom Himmel gegessen, aber sie sind trotzdem gestorben. Doch wer dieses Brot isst, wird für immer leben.«
Jesus stellt seine Jünger vor die Wahl
59 Dies alles lehrte Jesus in der Synagoge von Kapernaum. 60 Viele von denen, die ihm bisher gefolgt waren, hörten es und sagten: »Das ist eine Zumutung! Wer will sich so etwas anhören?«
61 Jesus wusste, dass selbst seine Jünger empört waren, und fragte sie deshalb: »Nehmt ihr schon daran Anstoß? 62 Was werdet ihr erst sagen, wenn ihr seht, wie der Menschensohn dahin zurückkehrt, woher er gekommen ist? 63 Gottes Geist allein schafft Leben. Ein Mensch kann dies nicht.[e] Die Worte aber, die ich euch gesagt habe, sind aus Gottes Geist und bringen das Leben. 64 Aber einige von euch glauben mir trotzdem nicht.«
Jesus wusste nämlich von Anfang an, wer nicht an ihn glaubte und wer ihn später verraten würde. 65 »Deshalb«, so erklärte er weiter, »habe ich euch gesagt: Keiner kann zu mir kommen, wenn ihn nicht der Vater zu mir führt!«
66 Nach dieser Rede wandten sich viele, die ihm gefolgt waren, von Jesus ab und gingen nicht mehr mit ihm. 67 Da fragte Jesus seine zwölf Jünger: »Und ihr – wollt ihr mich auch verlassen?« 68 »Herr, zu wem sollten wir denn gehen?«, antwortete Simon Petrus. »Nur deine Worte schenken das ewige Leben. 69 Wir glauben und haben erkannt, dass du der Heilige bist, den Gott gesandt hat[f].«
70 Da sagte Jesus: »Ich selbst habe euch zwölf ausgewählt – und doch: Einer von euch ist ein Teufel!« 71 Damit meinte er Judas, den Sohn von Simon Iskariot, einen seiner zwölf Jünger. Und Judas war es dann auch, der Jesus später verriet.

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.
