Ginpakaon ni Jesus ang Lima 5,000 ka mga Tawo(A)

Pagkatapos sadto, nagtabok liwat si Jesus sa Dagat sang Galilea nga ginatawag man nga Dagat sang Tiberias. Madamo nga mga tawo ang nagsulunod sa iya, tungod kay nakita nila ang iya mga ginpanghimo nga mga milagro sa iya pagpang-ayo sang mga masakiton. Nagtaklad si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod sa bukid kag didto nagpungko. (Malapit na lang sadto ang piesta sang mga Judio nga ginatawag Piesta sang Paglabay sang Anghel.) Pagtan-aw ni Jesus, nakita niya nga madamo nga mga tawo ang nagapalapit sa iya. Gani nagsiling siya kay Felipe, “Sa diin bala kita makabakal sang pagkaon[a] para makakaon ini nga mga tawo?” (Amo ini ang iya pamangkot tungod kay gusto niya nga tilawan si Felipe. Pero sa pagkamatuod, may plano na siya nga daan kon ano ang iya himuon.) Nagsiling si Felipe sa iya, “Sa kadamuon sang mga tawo nga ini, bisan gamay lang ang aton ihatag, ang walo ka bulan nga suweldo sang isa ka tawo kulang pa nga ibakal sang ila pagkaon.” Pero nagsiling ang utod ni Pedro nga si Andres nga isa man sa mga sumulunod ni Jesus, “May bata diri nga lalaki nga may lima ka tinapay[b] kag duha ka isda. Pero ano ang pulos sini sa amo nga kadamuon sang mga tawo?” 10 Nagsiling si Jesus, “Abi, papungkua ninyo ang mga tawo.” Kag ginpapungko nila sila, kay hilamunon man ato nga lugar. Ang mga lalaki lang mga 5,000 nga daan. 11 Pagkatapos ginkuha ni Jesus ang tinapay kag nagpasalamat sa Dios, kag ginpanagtag niya ini sa mga tawo nga nagapungko didto. Amo man ang iya ginhimo sa isda, kag nabusog sila tanan. 12 Pagkatapos nila kaon, nagsiling si Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod, “Tipuna ninyo ang mga nabilin agod wala gid sing may mausik.” 13 Gani gintipon nila ang tanan nga nabilin. Kag halin sa lima ka tinapay nga ginpakaon sa mga tawo, nakapuno pa sila sang dose ka alat.

14 Pagkakita sang mga tawo sadto nga milagro nga ginhimo ni Jesus, nagsiling sila, “Amo na gid ini matuod ang Propeta nga aton ginahulat nga magaabot diri sa kalibutan!” 15 Nakahibalo na nga daan si Jesus nga may tuyo sila nga kuhaon siya kag piliton nga mangin hari nila. Gani naghalin siya didto kag nagtaklad balik sa bukid nga siya lang.

Naglakat si Jesus sa Ibabaw sang Tubig(B)

16 Sang sirom na, nagdulhog sa baybay ang iya mga sumulunod 17 kag nagsakay sa sakayan. Gab-i na, pero wala pa makabalik si Jesus didto sa ila. Gani nag-umpisa na lang sila nga magtabok pabalik sa Capernaum. 18 Samtang nagatabok sila, hinali lang nga nagbaskog ang hangin kag nagdalagko ang mga balod. 19 Pagkaantad nila sing mga lima ukon anom ka kilometro, nakita nila si Jesus nga nagalakat sa ibabaw sang tubig pakadto sa ila sakayan, kag hinadlukan sila. 20 Pero nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Indi kamo magkahadlok, ako ini!” 21 Gani ginpasakay nila siya. Pagkasakay ni Jesus, nakaabot sila dayon sa ila kaladtuan.

Ginpangita sang mga Tawo si Jesus

22-23 Sang madason nga adlaw, ang mga tawo wala pa gid naghalin didto sa lugar nga ginpakaunan sa ila sang Ginoo sang tinapay nga iya ginpasalamatan sa Dios. Nahibaluan nila nga sang gab-i nga nagligad may isa lang ka sakayan, kag amo ato ang ginsakyan sang mga sumulunod ni Jesus. Nahibaluan man nila nga si Jesus wala nagsakay upod sa iya mga sumulunod. Karon, may nag-abot didto nga mga sakayan nga halin sa Tiberias. 24 Gani pagkahibalo sang mga tawo nga wala na didto si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod, nagsakay sila sa mga sakayan kag nagpa-Capernaum agod pangitaon si Jesus.

Ang Tinapay nga Nagahatag sang Kabuhi

25 Pag-abot nila didto sa Capernaum nakita nila si Jesus. Nagsiling sila, “Manunudlo, san-o ka pa diri?” 26 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasugid ko sa inyo nga ginapangita ninyo ako indi tungod sa mga milagro nga inyo nakita, kundi tungod kay ginpakaon ko kamo sang tinapay kag nabusog kamo. 27 Pero indi kamo magpangabudlay para sa pagkaon nga madunot man lang, kundi magpangabudlay kamo para sa pagkaon nga nagapadayon hasta san-o, nga nagahatag sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Ako nga Anak sang Tawo amo ang magahatag sa inyo sini nga pagkaon, kay ako ang ginhatagan sang Dios nga Amay sang awtoridad nga maghatag sini.” 28 Gani nagpamangkot sila sa iya, “Ti ano ang dapat namon nga himuon agod masunod namon ang gusto nga ipahimo sang Dios?” 29 Nagsabat si Jesus, “Ang gusto sang Dios nga inyo himuon amo ini: magtuo kamo sa akon nga iya ginpadala.” 30 Nagsiling man sila, “Ti, ano nga milagro ang imo mapakita sa amon agod magtuo kami sa imo? 31 Sadto anay ang aton mga katigulangan nagkaon sang manna[c] sang didto pa sila sa kamingawan. Kay nagasiling ang Kasulatan nga ginhatagan sila ni Moises sang tinapay nga halin sa langit.”[d] 32 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasugid ko sa inyo nga indi si Moises ang naghatag sang tinapay nga halin sa langit kundi ang akon Amay. Kag siya amo man ang nagahatag sa inyo sang matuod nga tinapay nga halin sa langit. 33 Kay ang tinapay nga ginahatag sang Dios wala sing iban kundi siya nga naghalin sa langit kag nagahatag sang kabuhi sa mga tawo diri sa kalibutan.” 34 Nagsiling dayon ang mga tawo, “Ti hatagi man kami permi sina nga tinapay nga imo ginasiling.” 35 Nagsiling si Jesus, “Ako amo ang tinapay[e] nga nagahatag sang kabuhi. Ang nagapalapit sa akon kag nagatuo indi na gid paggutumon ukon pag-uhawon.

36 “Pero pareho bala sang ginsiling ko anay sa inyo, indi gihapon kamo magtuo sa akon bisan nakita na ninyo ang mga milagro nga akon ginhimo.[f] 37 Ang tanan nga tawo nga ginahatag sang Amay sa akon magapalapit sa akon, kag ang mga nagapalapit sa akon indi ko gid pagsikwayon. 38 Kay nagkadto ako diri halin sa langit indi agod tumanon ko ang akon kaugalingon nga kabubut-on, kundi agod tumanon ko ang kabubut-on sang Amay nga nagpadala sa akon. 39 Kag ang kabubut-on sang nagpadala sa akon amo ini: nga indi ko pagpabay-an nga mawala ang bisan isa ka tawo nga iya gintugyan sa akon, kundi nga banhawon ko sila sa katapusan nga adlaw. 40 Kay amo ini ang gusto sang akon Amay: nga ang tanan nga nagakilala kag nagatuo sa akon makaangkon sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan, kag banhawon ko sila sa katapusan nga adlaw.”

41 Karon, nagkulumuron ang mga Judio kontra kay Jesus, kay nagsiling siya nga siya amo ang tinapay nga naghalin sa langit. 42 Nagsiling sila, “Si Jesus man lang ina nga anak ni Jose. Ngaa nagasiling siya nga halin siya sa langit, kay kilala ta man gani ang iya amay kag iloy?” 43 Ginsabat sila ni Jesus, “Indi kamo magsagi kumod dira. 44 Wala sing tawo nga makapalapit sa akon kon indi pagtandugon ang iya tagipusuon sang Amay nga nagpadala sa akon. Kag ang mga tawo nga magpalapit sa akon banhawon ko sa katapusan nga adlaw. 45 Nagsiling ang isa sa mga propeta, ‘Tudluan sila tanan sang Dios.’[g] Gani ang tanan nga nagapamati sa mga ginatudlo sang Amay magapalapit sa akon. 46 Wala ini nagakahulugan nga may tawo na nga nakakita sa Amay. Ako nga naghalin sa Dios nga Amay amo gid lang ang nakakita sa iya.

47 “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasugid ko sa inyo nga ang nagatuo sa akon may kabuhi na nga wala sing katapusan, 48 tungod kay ako amo ang tinapay nga nagahatag sang kabuhi. 49 Ang inyo mga katigulangan nagkaon sang manna sang didto pa sila sa kamingawan, pero nagkalamatay gihapon sila. 50 Pero may ara sang tinapay nga naghalin sa langit, kag ang bisan sin-o nga magkaon sini indi na mapatay. 51 Ako amo ang buhi nga tinapay nga naghalin sa langit. Ang bisan sin-o nga magkaon sa sini nga tinapay magakabuhi sa wala sing katapusan. Tungod kay ang tinapay nga akon ihatag sa iya wala sing iban kundi ang akon lawas. Ini nga lawas ihatag ko agod makabaton ang mga tawo diri sa kalibutan sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan.”

52 Nagbinaisay ang mga Judio nga nagapamati kay Jesus. Nagsiling sila, “Paano bala ang paghatag sang tawo nga ini sa aton sang iya lawas agod kaunon ta?” 53 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasiling ko sa inyo nga kon indi kamo magkaon sang lawas sang Anak sang Tawo kag kon indi kamo mag-inom sang iya dugo, indi gid kamo makabaton sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. 54 Pero ang bisan sin-o nga nagakaon sang akon lawas kag nagainom sang akon dugo may kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan, kag banhawon ko siya sa katapusan nga adlaw. 55 Kay ang akon lawas kag ang akon dugo amo ang matuod nga tinapay kag matuod nga ilimnon.[h] 56 Ang bisan sin-o nga nagakaon sang akon lawas kag nagainom sang akon dugo nagapabilin sa akon kag ako nagapabilin man sa iya. 57 Ang Dios nga Amay nga nagpadala sa akon amo ang ginahalinan sang kabuhi, kag tungod sa iya nagakabuhi ako. Pareho man sini ang matabo sa mga nagakaon sa akon, magakabuhi man sila tungod sa akon. 58 Ako ang tinapay nga naghalin sa langit. Indi ini pareho sa manna nga ginkaon sang inyo mga katigulangan, kay nagkalamatay gihapon sila. Ang nagakaon sang sini nga tinapay nga akon ginasiling sa inyo magakabuhi sa wala sing katapusan.” 59 Ini nga mga butang ginahambal ni Jesus sang siya nagapanudlo didto sa simbahan sang mga Judio sa Capernaum.

Ang mga Pulong nga Nagahatag sang Kabuhi nga Wala sing Katapusan

60 Madamo sa iya mga sumulunod ang nakabati sa iya gintudlo, kag nagsiling sila, “Tama kabudlay ining ginatudlo niya, sin-o bala ang makabaton sini?” 61 Bisan wala sing may nagsugid kay Jesus, nahibaluan niya nga ang iya mga sumulunod mismo nagakulumuron tungod sang iya pagpanudlo nga ato. Gani nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Nasaklaw bala kamo sa akon ginahambal? 62 Ti paano na lang kon ako nga Anak sang Tawo makita ninyo nga nagkayab pabalik sa akon ginhalinan? 63 Ang Espiritu Santo amo ang nagahatag sang kabuhi. Ang tawo indi makahimo sini. Ang akon mga ginahambal sa inyo halin sa Espiritu Santo, kag nagahatag sang kabuhi. 64 Pero may ara sa inyo nga wala nagatuo sa akon.” (Nagsiling siya sini tungod kay nahibaluan na niya nga daan kon sin-o atong mga indi magatuo kag kon sin-o ang magatraidor sa iya.) 65 Kag nagsiling pa gid siya, “Amo ini ang kabangdanan kon ngaa nagsiling ako sa inyo nga wala sing may makapalapit sa akon kon indi siya pagtugutan sang Amay.”

66 Halin sadto, madamo sa mga sumulunod ni Jesus ang nagbiya sa iya kag wala na magsagi upod. 67 Gani nagsiling si Jesus sa iya dose ka apostoles, “Ti, mabiya man bala kamo sa akon?” 68 Nagsabat si Simon Pedro sa iya, “Ginoo, sa kay sin-o pa bala kami makadto? Ikaw lang ang may mensahi nga makahatag sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. 69 Nagatuo kami sa imo tungod kay nahibaluan namon nga ikaw amo gid ang Balaan nga ginpadala sang Dios.” 70 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Indi bala ginpili ko kamo nga dose? Pero ang isa sa inyo Yawa!”[i] 71 Ang ginatumod ni Jesus amo si Judas nga anak ni Simon Iscariote.[j] Kay bisan tuod si Judas isa sa dose ka apostoles, pero siya amo ang magatraidor kay Jesus.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(A)

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs(B) he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside(C) and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival(D) was near.

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?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

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!”

Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,(F) spoke up, “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)

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

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?

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

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.
