John 6:60-66

Modern English Version

The Words of Eternal Life

⁶⁰ When they heard this, many of His disciples said, “This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?”

⁶¹ Knowing in Himself that His disciples murmured about it, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? ⁶² Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before? ⁶³ It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray Him. ⁶⁵ Then He said, “For this reason I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it were given him by My Father.”

⁶⁶ From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.
