John 6:66-71
Wycliffe Bible
66 From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.
67 Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Whether ye will also go away?
68 And Simon Peter answered to him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life;
69 and we believe, and have known [and we have believed, and know], that thou art Christ, the Son of God.
70 Therefore Jesus answered to them, Whether I chose not you twelve, and one of you is a fiend [and one of you is a devil]?
71 And he said this of Judas of Simon Iscariot, for this was to betray him, when he was one of the twelve.
