Ang Pagpapakain sa Limanlibo(A)

Pagkatapos nito, tumawid si Jesus sa ibayo ng Lawa ng Galilea, na tinatawag ding Lawa ng Tiberias. Sinundan siya ng napakaraming tao sapagkat nakita nila ang mga himalang ginawa niya sa pagpapagaling sa mga maysakit. Umakyat si Jesus sa bundok kasama ang kanyang mga alagad at naupo roon. Noon ay malapit na ang Paskwa ng mga Judio. Tumanaw si Jesus at nang makita niyang dumarating ang napakaraming tao, tinanong niya si Felipe, “Saan kaya tayo makakabili ng tinapay upang makakain ang mga taong ito?” Sinabi niya iyon upang subukin si Felipe, sapagkat alam na niya ang kanyang gagawin.

Sumagot naman si Felipe, “Kahit na po halagang dalawandaang salaping pilak[a] ng tinapay ay di sasapat para makakain sila nang tigkakaunti.”

Sinabi ni Andres na isa sa kanyang mga alagad at kapatid ni Simon Pedro, “Mayroon po ritong isang batang lalaki na may dalang limang tinapay na sebada at dalawang isda. Subalit sasapat kaya ang mga ito?” 10 “Paupuin ninyo ang mga tao,” sabi ni Jesus. Madamo sa lugar na iyon. Umupo nga ang mga tao; sa kanila'y may humigit-kumulang sa limanlibo ang mga lalaki. 11 Kinuha ni Jesus ang tinapay at matapos magpasalamat sa Diyos ay ipinamahagi iyon sa mga taong nakaupo. Gayundin ang ginawa niya sa mga isda. Nakakain ang lahat at nabusog. 12 Nang makakain na ang mga tao, sinabi ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “Ipunin ninyo ang lumabis nang di masayang.” 13 Ganoon nga ang ginawa nila, at nakapuno sila ng labindalawang kaing mula sa limang tinapay na sebada.

14 Nang makita ng mga tao ang himalang ginawa ni Jesus, sinabi nila, “Tunay na ito ang Propetang darating sa sanlibutan!” 15 Napansin ni Jesus na lalapitan siya ng mga tao at pipilitin siyang gawing hari, kaya't umalis siyang muli at mag-isang umakyat sa bundok.

Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig(B)

16 Nang magtatakipsilim na, ang mga alagad ay pumunta sa tabi ng lawa. 17 Sumakay sila sa bangka at naglayag papuntang Capernaum. Madilim na'y wala pa si Jesus. 18 Lumakas ang hangin at lumaki ang alon. 19 Nang makasagwan na sila nang may lima o anim na kilometro, nakita nila si Jesus na lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig papalapit sa bangka, at sila'y natakot. 20 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matakot. Ako ito!” 21 Tuwang-tuwa nilang pinasakay si Jesus; at kaagad na nakarating ang bangka sa kanilang pupuntahan.

Hinanap ng mga Tao si Jesus

22 Kinabukasan, nakita ng mga taong naiwan sa dalampasigan na iisa lamang ang bangkang naroon. Nalaman nilang si Jesus ay hindi kasama ng mga alagad nang ang mga ito'y sumakay sa bangka dahil ang mga ito lamang ang umalis. 23 Dumating naman ang ilang bangkang galing sa Tiberias at dumaong sa lugar na malapit sa kinainan nila ng tinapay matapos magpasalamat ang Panginoon. 24 Kaya't nang makita nilang wala roon si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad, sila'y sumakay sa mga bangka at pumunta sa Capernaum upang hanapin si Jesus.

Si Jesus ang Tinapay na Nagbibigay-buhay

25 Nang makita nila si Jesus sa ibayo ng lawa, siya'y tinanong nila, “Guro, kailan pa kayo rito?”

26 Sumagot si Jesus, “Totoo ang sinasabi kong ito: hinahanap ninyo ako, hindi dahil sa mga himalang nakita ninyo, kundi dahil nakakain kayo ng tinapay at nabusog. 27 Huwag(C) ang pagkaing nasisira ang inyong pagsikapang kamtan, kundi ang pagkaing hindi nasisira na nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. Iyan ang ibibigay sa inyo ng Anak ng Tao, sapagkat ipinapakita ng Diyos Ama na siya ang may ganitong karapatan.”

28 Kaya't siya'y tinanong nila, “Ano po ang dapat naming gawin upang aming matupad ang ipinapagawa ng Diyos?”

29 “Ito ang ipinapagawa sa inyo ng Diyos, sumampalataya kayo sa sinugo niya,” tugon ni Jesus.

30 “Ano pong himala ang maipapakita ninyo upang sumampalataya kami sa inyo? Ano po ang inyong gagawin? 31 Ang(D) aming mga ninuno ay kumain ng manna sa ilang; ayon sa nasusulat, ‘Sila'y binigyan niya ng tinapay na galing sa langit,’” sabi nila.

32 Sumagot si Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: hindi si Moises ang nagbigay sa inyo ng tinapay na galing sa langit. Ang aking Ama ang nagbibigay sa inyo ng tunay na tinapay na galing sa langit. 33 Sapagkat ang tinapay na galing sa Diyos ay ang bumabâ mula sa langit at nagbibigay-buhay sa sangkatauhan.”

34 Sumagot sila, “Ginoo, bigyan po ninyo kaming lagi ng tinapay na ito.”

35 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ako ang tinapay ng buhay. Ang lumalapit sa akin ay hindi na magugutom kailanman, at ang sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi na mauuhaw kailanman. 36 Ngunit sinabi ko na sa inyo, nakita na ninyo ako, ngunit hindi pa rin kayo sumasampalataya sa akin. 37 Lalapit sa akin ang lahat ng ibinibigay sa akin ng Ama, at hinding-hindi ko itataboy kailanman ang sinumang lumalapit sa akin. 38 Ako'y bumabâ mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ang sarili kong kalooban, kundi ang kalooban niya na nagsugo sa akin. 39 At ito ang kanyang kalooban: ang huwag kong hayaang mapahamak ang kahit sinuman sa mga ibinigay niya sa akin, kundi ang buhayin ko silang muli sa huling araw. 40 Sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng aking Ama: ang lahat ng nakakakita sa Anak at sumasampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. At sila'y muli kong bubuhayin sa huling araw.”

41 Nagbulung-bulungan ang mga Judio dahil sa sinabi niyang, “Ako ang tinapay na bumabâ mula sa langit.” 42 Sinabi nila, “Hindi ba ito si Jesus na anak ni Jose? Kilala natin ang kanyang ama't ina. Paano niya masasabi ngayong bumabâ siya mula sa langit?” 43 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, “Tigilan ninyo ang inyong bulung-bulungan. 44 Walang makakalapit sa akin malibang dalhin siya sa akin ng Ama na nagsugo sa akin. At ang lumalapit sa akin ay muli kong bubuhayin sa huling araw. 45 Nasusulat(E) sa aklat ng mga propeta, ‘At silang lahat ay tuturuan ng Diyos.’ Ang bawat nakikinig sa Ama at natututo sa kanya ay lumalapit sa akin. 46 Hindi ito nangangahulugang may nakakita na sa Ama; ang nagmula sa Diyos ang tanging nakakita sa Ama. 47 Pakatandaan ninyo: ang sumasampalataya sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan. 48 Ako ang tinapay ng buhay. 49 Kumain ng manna ang inyong mga ninuno nang sila'y nasa ilang, ngunit sila'y namatay. 50 Narito ang tinapay na bumabâ mula sa langit upang ang sinumang kumain nito ay hindi na mamatay. 51 Ako nga ang tinapay na nagbibigay-buhay na bumabâ mula sa langit. Mabubuhay magpakailanman ang sinumang kumain ng tinapay na ito. At ang tinapay na ibibigay ko upang mabuhay ang sanlibutan ay ang aking laman.”

52 Dahil dito'y nagtalu-talo ang mga Judio, “Paanong maibibigay sa atin ng taong ito ang kanyang laman upang makain natin?”

53 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: malibang kainin ninyo ang laman ng Anak ng Tao at inumin ang kanyang dugo, hindi kayo magkakaroon ng buhay. 54 Ang kumakain ng aking laman at umiinom ng aking dugo ay may buhay na walang hanggan at muli ko siyang bubuhayin sa huling araw. 55 Sapagkat ang aking laman ay tunay na pagkain, at ang aking dugo ay tunay na inumin. 56 Ang kumakain ng aking laman at umiinom ng aking dugo ay nananatili sa akin, at ako naman sa kanya. 57 Isinugo ako ng buháy na Ama at ako'y nabubuhay dahil sa kanya. Gayundin naman, ang sinumang kumakain sa akin ay mabubuhay dahil sa akin. 58 Ito ang tinapay na bumabâ mula sa langit. Hindi ito katulad ng kinain ng inyong mga ninuno sa ilang; namatay sila kahit na kumain niyon. Ang kumakain ng tinapay na ito ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.”

59 Sinabi ito ni Jesus sa sinagoga habang siya'y nagtuturo sa Capernaum.

Mga Salita tungkol sa Buhay na Walang Hanggan

60 Narinig ito ng kanyang mga alagad at marami sa kanila ang nagsabi, “Mabigat na pananalita ito; sino ang makakatanggap nito?”

61 Kahit walang nagsasabi kay Jesus, alam niya na nagbubulung-bulungan ang kanyang mga alagad tungkol dito. Kaya't sinabi niya, “Dahil ba rito'y tatalikuran na ninyo ako? 62 Gaano pa kaya kung makita ninyong umaakyat ang Anak ng Tao papunta sa dati niyang kinaroroonan? 63 Ang(F) Espiritu ang nagbibigay-buhay; hindi ito magagawa ng laman. Ang mga salitang sinabi ko sa inyo ay espiritu at ito ang nagbibigay-buhay. 64 Ngunit may ilan sa inyong hindi sumasampalataya.” Alam na ni Jesus buhat pa noong una kung sinu-sino ang hindi mananalig sa kanya, at kung sino ang magkakanulo sa kanya. 65 Idinugtong pa niya, “Iyan ang dahilan kaya ko sinabi sa inyo na walang makakalapit sa akin malibang ito'y loobin ng Ama.”

66 Mula noo'y marami sa kanyang mga alagad ang tumalikod at hindi na sumama sa kanya. 67 Tinanong ni Jesus ang Labindalawa, “At kayo, gusto rin ba ninyong umalis?”

68 Sumagot(G) si Simon Pedro, “Panginoon, kanino pa po kami pupunta? Nasa inyo ang mga salitang nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. 69 Naniniwala kami at natitiyak namin na kayo nga ang Banal na mula sa Diyos.”

70 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ba't ako ang humirang sa inyong Labindalawa at ang isa sa inyo ay diyablo!” 71 Ang tinutukoy niya'y si Judas na anak ni Simon Iscariote, sapagkat siya na kabilang sa Labindalawa ay magkakanulo sa kanya.

耶穌使五千人吃飽(A)

這些事以後,耶穌渡過加利利海,就是提比哩亞海 有一大羣人因為看見他在病人身上所行的神蹟,就跟隨他。 耶穌上了山,和門徒一同坐在那裏。 那時猶太人的逾越節近了。 耶穌舉目看見一大羣人來,就對腓力說:「我們到哪裏去買餅給這些人吃呢?」 他說這話是要考驗腓力,他自己原知道要怎樣做。 腓力回答他:「就是兩百個銀幣的餅也不夠給他們每人吃一點點。」 有一個門徒,就是西門‧彼得的弟弟安得烈,對耶穌說: 「這裏有一個孩子,帶着五個大麥餅和兩條魚,但是分給這麼多人還算甚麼呢?」 10 耶穌說:「你們叫大家坐下。」那地方的草多,人們就坐下,男人的數目約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來,祝謝了,就分給坐着的人,也同樣分了魚,都照他們所要的來分。 12 他們吃飽後,耶穌對門徒說:「把剩下的碎屑收拾起來,免得糟蹋了。」 13 他們就把那五個大麥餅的碎屑,就是大家吃剩的,收拾起來,裝滿了十二個籃子。 14 人們看見耶穌所行的神蹟,就說:「這真是那要到世上來的先知!」 15 耶穌知道他們要來強迫他作王,就獨自又退到山上去了。

耶穌在海上行走(B)

16 到了晚上,他的門徒下到海邊, 17 上了船,要過海往迦百農去。天已經黑了,耶穌還沒有來到他們那裏。 18 忽然狂風大作,海浪翻騰。 19 門徒搖櫓,約行了十里多[a],看見耶穌在海面上走,漸漸靠近了船,他們就害怕。 20 耶穌對他們說:「是我,不要怕!」 21 門徒就欣然接他上船,船立刻到了他們所要去的地方。

耶穌是生命的糧

22 第二天,留在海的對岸的眾人發覺那裏原來只有一條小船,而且耶穌沒有同他的門徒上船,是門徒自己去的。 23 另外有幾條從提比哩亞來的小船,卻停靠在主祝謝後給他們吃餅的地方附近。 24 這時眾人見耶穌和門徒都不在那裏,就上了船,往迦百農去找耶穌。

25 他們在海的對岸找到他後,對他說:「拉比,你幾時到這裏來的?」 26 耶穌回答他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,你們找我,並不是因見了神蹟,而是因吃餅吃飽了。 27 不要為那會壞的食物操勞,而要為那存到永生的食物操勞。這食物是人子要賜給你們的,因為父 神已印證了。」 28 於是他們問他:「我們該做甚麼才算是做 神的工作呢?」 29 耶穌回答,對他們說:「信 神所差來的,這就是 神的工作。」 30 於是他們對他說:「你行甚麼神蹟,好讓我們看見而信你呢?你到底要做甚麼呢? 31 我們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪,如經上寫着:『他從天上賜下糧食來給他們吃。』」 32 於是耶穌對他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,那從天上來的糧不是摩西賜給你們的,那從天上來的真糧是我父賜給你們的。 33 因為 神的糧就是那位從天上降下來,並且賜生命給世界的。」

34 於是他們對他說:「主啊,請常常把這糧賜給我們!」 35 耶穌對他們說:「我就是生命的糧。到我這裏來的,絕不飢餓;信我的,永不乾渴。 36 可是,我告訴過你們,你們已經看見我[b],還是不信。 37 凡父所賜給我的人,必到我這裏來;到我這裏來的,我總不丟棄他。 38 因為我從天上降下來,不是要按自己的意願行,而是要遵行差我來那位的旨意。 39 差我來那位的旨意就是:他所賜給我的,要我一個也不失落,並且在末日使他復活。 40 因為我父的旨意是要使每一個見了子而信的人得永生,並且在末日我要使他復活。」

41 猶太人因為耶穌說「我是從天上降下來的糧」,就私下議論他, 42 說:「這不是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎?我們豈不認得他的父母嗎?現在他怎麼說『我是從天上降下來的』呢?」 43 耶穌回答,對他們說:「你們不要彼此私下議論。 44 若不是差我來的父吸引人,就沒有人能到我這裏來;到我這裏來的,在末日我要使他復活。 45 在先知書上寫着:『他們都要蒙 神教導。』凡聽了父的教導而學習的,都到我這裏來。 46 這不是說有人看見過父,惟獨從 神來的,他才看見過父。 47 我實實在在地告訴你們,信的人有永生。 48 我就是生命的糧。 49 你們的祖宗在曠野吃過嗎哪,還是死了。 50 這是從天上降下來的糧,使人吃了就不死。 51 我就是從天上降下來生命的糧;人若吃這糧,必永遠活着。我為世人的生命所賜下的糧就是我的肉。」

52 因此,猶太人彼此爭論說:「這個人怎能把他的肉給我們吃呢?」 53 耶穌對他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,你們若不吃人子的肉,不喝人子的血,在你們裏面就沒有生命。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人就有永生,並且在末日我要使他復活。 55 我的肉是真正可吃的;我的血是真正可喝的。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我裏面,我也常在他裏面。 57 永生的父怎樣差我來,我又怎樣因父活着,照樣,吃我肉的人也要因我活着。 58 這是從天上降下來的糧,不像你們的祖宗吃過嗎哪還是死了;吃這糧的人將永遠活着。」 59 這些話是耶穌在迦百農會堂裏教導人的時候說的。

永生的話

60 他的門徒中有好些人聽見了,就說:「這話很難,誰聽得進呢?」 61 耶穌心裏知道門徒為這話私下議論,就對他們說:「這話成了你們的絆腳石嗎? 62 如果你們看見人子升到他原來所在之處,會怎麼樣呢? 63 聖靈賜人生命,肉體毫無用處。我對你們所說的話就是靈,就是生命。 64 可是你們中間有些人不信。」耶穌起初就知道哪些人不信他,哪一個要出賣他。 65 於是耶穌說:「所以,我對你們說過,若不是蒙我父的恩賜,沒有人能到我這裏來。」

66 從此,他門徒中有很多退卻了,不再和他同行。 67 耶穌就對那十二使徒說:「你們也要離開嗎?」 68 西門‧彼得回答他:「主啊,你有永生之道,我們還跟從誰呢? 69 我們已經信了,又知道你是 神的聖者。」 70 耶穌回答他們:「我不是揀選了你們十二個嗎?但你們中間有一個是魔鬼。」 71 耶穌這話是指着要出賣他的加略西門的兒子猶大說的;他本是十二使徒裏的一個。

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.

Sen jälkeen Jeesus meni Galileaan, se on Tiberiaan, järven tuolle puolelle.

Ja häntä seurasi paljon kansaa, koska he näkivät ne tunnusteot, joita hän teki sairaille.

Ja Jeesus nousi vuorelle ja istui sinne opetuslapsinensa.

Ja pääsiäinen, juutalaisten juhla, oli lähellä.

Kun Jeesus nosti silmänsä ja näki paljon kansaa tulevan tykönsä, sanoi hän Filippukselle: "Mistä ostamme leipää näiden syödä?"

Mutta sen hän sanoi koetellakseen häntä, sillä itse hän tiesi, mitä aikoi tehdä.

Filippus vastasi hänelle: "Eivät kahdensadan denarin leivät heille riittäisi, niin että kukin saisi edes vähän".

Niin toinen hänen opetuslapsistansa, Andreas, Simon Pietarin veli, sanoi hänelle:

"Täällä on poikanen, jolla on viisi ohraleipää ja kaksi kalaa, mutta mitä ne ovat näin monelle?"

10 Jeesus sanoi: "Asettakaa kansa aterioimaan". Ja siinä paikassa oli paljon ruohoa. Niin miehet, luvultaan noin viisituhatta, laskeutuivat maahan.

11 Ja Jeesus otti leivät ja kiitti ja jakeli istuville; samoin kaloistakin, niin paljon kuin he tahtoivat.

12 Mutta kun he olivat ravitut, sanoi hän opetuslapsillensa: "Kootkaa tähteeksi jääneet palaset, ettei mitään joutuisi hukkaan".

13 Niin he kokosivat ne ja täyttivät kaksitoista vakkaa palasilla, mitkä olivat viidestä ohraleivästä jääneet tähteeksi niiltä, jotka olivat aterioineet.

14 Kun nyt ihmiset näkivät sen tunnusteon, jonka Jeesus oli tehnyt, sanoivat he: "Tämä on totisesti se profeetta, joka oli maailmaan tuleva".

15 Kun nyt Jeesus huomasi, että he aikoivat tulla ja väkisin ottaa hänet, tehdäkseen hänet kuninkaaksi, väistyi hän taas pois vuorelle, hän yksinänsä.

16 Mutta kun ilta tuli, menivät hänen opetuslapsensa alas järven rantaan,

17 astuivat venheeseen ja lähtivät menemään järven toiselle puolelle, Kapernaumiin. Ja oli jo tullut pimeä, eikä Jeesus ollut vielä saapunut heidän luokseen;

18 ja järvi aaltoili ankarasti kovan tuulen puhaltaessa.

19 Kun he olivat soutaneet noin viisikolmatta tai kolmekymmentä vakomittaa, näkivät he Jeesuksen kävelevän järven päällä ja tulevan lähelle venhettä; ja he peljästyivät.

20 Mutta hän sanoi heille: "Minä se olen; älkää peljätkö".

21 Niin he tahtoivat ottaa hänet venheeseen, ja kohta venhe saapui sen maan rantaan, jonne he olivat matkalla.

22 Seuraavana päivänä kansa yhä vielä oli järven toisella puolella, sillä he olivat nähneet, ettei siellä ollut muuta venhettä kuin se yksi ja ettei Jeesus mennyt opetuslastensa kanssa venheeseen, vaan että hänen opetuslapsensa lähtivät yksinään pois.

23 Kuitenkin oli muita venheitä tullut Tiberiaasta lähelle sitä paikkaa, jossa he olivat syöneet leipää, sittenkuin Herra oli lausunut kiitoksen.

24 Kun siis kansa näki, ettei Jeesus ollut siellä eivätkä hänen opetuslapsensa, astuivat hekin venheisiin ja menivät Kapernaumiin ja etsivät Jeesusta.

25 Ja kun he löysivät hänet järven toiselta puolelta, sanoivat he hänelle: "Rabbi, milloin tulit tänne?"

26 Jeesus vastasi heille ja sanoi: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: ette te minua sentähden etsi, että olette nähneet tunnustekoja, vaan sentähden, että saitte syödä niitä leipiä ja tulitte ravituiksi.

27 Älkää hankkiko sitä ruokaa, joka katoaa, vaan sitä ruokaa, joka pysyy hamaan iankaikkiseen elämään ja jonka Ihmisen Poika on teille antava; sillä häneen on Isä, Jumala itse, sinettinsä painanut."

28 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Mitä meidän pitää tekemän, että me Jumalan tekoja tekisimme?"

29 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Se on Jumalan teko, että te uskotte häneen, jonka Jumala on lähettänyt".

30 He sanoivat hänelle: "Minkä tunnusteon sinä sitten teet, että me näkisimme sen ja uskoisimme sinua? Minkä teon sinä teet?

31 Meidän isämme söivät mannaa erämaassa, niinkuin kirjoitettu on: 'Hän antoi leipää taivaasta heille syötäväksi'."

32 Niin Jeesus sanoi heille: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: ei Mooses antanut teille sitä leipää taivaasta, vaan minun Isäni antaa teille taivaasta totisen leivän.

33 Sillä Jumalan leipä on se, joka tulee alas taivaasta ja antaa maailmalle elämän."

34 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Herra, anna meille aina sitä leipää".

35 Jeesus sanoi heille: "Minä olen elämän leipä; joka tulee minun tyköni, se ei koskaan isoa, ja joka uskoo minuun, se ei koskaan janoa.

36 Mutta minä olen sanonut teille, että te olette nähneet minut, ettekä kuitenkaan usko.

37 Kaikki, minkä Isä antaa minulle, tulee minun tyköni; ja sitä, joka minun tyköni tulee, minä en heitä ulos.

38 Sillä minä olen tullut taivaasta, en tekemään omaa tahtoani, vaan hänen tahtonsa, joka on minut lähettänyt.

39 Ja minun lähettäjäni tahto on se, että minä kaikista niistä, jotka hän on minulle antanut, en kadota yhtäkään, vaan herätän heidät viimeisenä päivänä.

40 Sillä minun Isäni tahto on se, että jokaisella, joka näkee Pojan ja uskoo häneen, on iankaikkinen elämä; ja minä herätän hänet viimeisenä päivänä."

41 Niin juutalaiset nurisivat häntä vastaan, koska hän sanoi: "Minä olen se leipä, joka on tullut alas taivaasta";

42 ja he sanoivat: "Eikö tämä ole Jeesus, Joosefin poika, jonka isän ja äidin me tunnemme? Kuinka hän sitten sanoo: 'Minä olen tullut alas taivaasta'?"

43 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Älkää nurisko keskenänne.

44 Ei kukaan voi tulla minun tyköni, ellei Isä, joka on minut lähettänyt, häntä vedä; ja minä herätän hänet viimeisenä päivänä.

45 Profeetoissa on kirjoitettuna: 'Ja he tulevat kaikki Jumalan opettamiksi'. Jokainen, joka on Isältä kuullut ja oppinut, tulee minun tyköni.

46 Ei niin, että kukaan olisi Isää nähnyt; ainoastaan hän, joka on Jumalasta, on nähnyt Isän.

47 Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: joka uskoo, sillä on iankaikkinen elämä.

48 Minä olen elämän leipä.

49 Teidän isänne söivät mannaa erämaassa, ja he kuolivat.

50 Mutta tämä on se leipä, joka tulee alas taivaasta, että se, joka sitä syö, ei kuolisi.

51 Minä olen se elävä leipä, joka on tullut alas taivaasta. Jos joku syö tätä leipää, hän elää iankaikkisesti. Ja se leipä, jonka minä annan, on minun lihani, maailman elämän puolesta."

52 Silloin juutalaiset riitelivät keskenään sanoen: "Kuinka tämä voi antaa lihansa meille syötäväksi?"

53 Niin Jeesus sanoi heille: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: ellette syö Ihmisen Pojan lihaa ja juo hänen vertansa, ei teillä ole elämää itsessänne.

54 Joka syö minun lihani ja juo minun vereni, sillä on iankaikkinen elämä, ja minä herätän hänet viimeisenä päivänä.

55 Sillä minun lihani on totinen ruoka, ja minun vereni on totinen juoma.

56 Joka syö minun lihani ja juo minun vereni, se pysyy minussa, ja minä hänessä.

57 Niinkuin Isä, joka elää, on minut lähettänyt, ja minä elän Isän kautta, niin myös se, joka minua syö, elää minun kauttani.

58 Tämä on se leipä, joka tuli alas taivaasta. Ei ole, niinkuin oli teidän isienne: he söivät ja kuolivat; joka tätä leipää syö, se elää iankaikkisesti."

59 Tämän hän puhui synagoogassa opettaessaan Kapernaumissa.

60 Niin monet hänen opetuslapsistansa, sen kuultuaan, sanoivat: "Tämä on kova puhe, kuka voi sitä kuulla?"

61 Mutta kun Jeesus sydämessään tiesi, että hänen opetuslapsensa siitä nurisivat, sanoi hän heille: "Loukkaako tämä teitä?

62 Mitä sitten, jos saatte nähdä Ihmisen Pojan nousevan sinne, missä hän oli ennen!

63 Henki on se, joka eläväksi tekee; ei liha mitään hyödytä. Ne sanat, jotka minä olen teille puhunut, ovat henki ja ovat elämä.

64 Mutta teissä on muutamia, jotka eivät usko." Sillä Jeesus tiesi alusta asti, ketkä ne olivat, jotka eivät uskoneet, ja kuka se oli, joka oli kavaltava hänet.

65 Ja hän sanoi: "Sentähden minä olen sanonut teille, ettei kukaan voi tulla minun tyköni, ellei minun Isäni sitä hänelle anna".

66 Tämän tähden monet hänen opetuslapsistaan vetäytyivät pois eivätkä enää vaeltaneet hänen kanssansa.

67 Niin Jeesus sanoi niille kahdelletoista: "Tahdotteko tekin mennä pois?"

68 Simon Pietari vastasi hänelle: "Herra, kenen tykö me menisimme? Sinulla on iankaikkisen elämän sanat;

69 ja me uskomme ja ymmärrämme, että sinä olet Jumalan Pyhä."

70 Jeesus vastasi heille: "Enkö minä ole valinnut teitä, te kaksitoista? Ja yksi teistä on perkele."

71 Mutta sen hän sanoi Juudaasta, Simon Iskariotin pojasta; sillä tämä oli hänet kavaltava ja oli yksi niistä kahdestatoista.
