21 For since, in the (A)wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For (B)Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, (C)to the Jews a [a]stumbling block and to the [b]Greeks (D)foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (E)the power of God and (F)the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Glory Only in the Lord
26 For [c]you see your calling, brethren, (G)that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many [d]noble, are called. 27 But (H)God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the [e]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

Many Disciples Turn Away
60 (A)Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a [a]hard saying; who can understand it?”
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples [b]complained about this, He said to them, “Does this [c]offend you? 62 (B)What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 (C)It is the Spirit who gives life; the (D)flesh profits nothing. The (E)words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But (F)there are some of you who do not believe.” For (G)Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore (H)I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 (I)From that time many of His disciples went [d]back and walked with Him no more.

Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(A) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(B)
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(C) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(D) ascend to where he was before!(E) 63 The Spirit gives life;(F) the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[a] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known(G) from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.(H) 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.”(I)
66 From this time many of his disciples(J) turned back and no longer followed him.
