40 John 6:1-71
   1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
 4And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5When 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?
6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peters brother, saith unto him,
9There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10And 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.
11And 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.
12When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13Therefore 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.
14Then 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.
 15When 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.
16And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19So 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.
20But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
 22The 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:)
24When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus 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.
27Labour 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.
 28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Then 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.
33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
 34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35And 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.
36But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And this is the Fathers 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.
40And 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.
 41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42And 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?
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It 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.
46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48I am that bread of life.
49Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51I 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.
 52The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53Then 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.
54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58This 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.
 59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
 64But 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.
65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.(KJV)
40 John 6:1-71
1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5When 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?
6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7Philip answered him, 200 pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every 1 of them may take a little.
81 of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9There is a lad here, which hath 5 barley loaves, and 2 small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about 5000.
11And 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.
12When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13Therefore they gathered them together, and filled 12 baskets with the fragments of the 5 barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14Then 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.
15When 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.
16And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19So when they had rowed about 25 or 30 furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that 1 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:)
24When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus 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.
27Labour 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.
28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Then 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.
33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35And 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.
36But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And 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.
40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every 1 which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42And 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?
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It 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.
46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48I am that bread of life.
49Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51I 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.
52The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53Then 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.
54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58This 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.
59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64But 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.
65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67Then said Jesus unto the 12, Will ye also go away?
68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you 12, and 1 of you is a devil?
71He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being 1 of the 12.(KJV/NC)
40 John 6:1-71
1After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.
3And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
5Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?
6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
10Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.
12And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.
14When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.
15Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.
16And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
17and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.
19When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.
20But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.
22On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone
23(howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
24when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.
28They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
32Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.
33For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.
37All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
41The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?
43Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.
46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
52The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53Jesus therefore 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 not life in yourselves.
54He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.
58This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.
59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?
62What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
63It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him.
65And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.
66Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?
68Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.
70Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.(ASV)
40 John 6:1-71
1AFTER these things, Jesus went to the port of the sea of Galilee, at Tiberias.
2And a great many people followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on sick people.
3So Jesus went up to the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4And the feast of the passover of the Jews was at hand.
5¶ And Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a large crowd coming to him, and he said to Philip, Where can we buy bread that all these may eat?
6He said this merely to test him; for he knew what he would do.
7Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little.
8One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,
9There is a boy here who has with him five barley loaves and two fish; but what are these for all of them?
10Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, five thousand in number.
11And Jesus took the bread and blessed it, and distributed it to those who were sitting down; likewise the fish also, as much as they wanted.
12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, so that nothing is lost.
13And they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces which were left over by those who ate from five barley loaves.
14Then the men who saw the miracle which Jesus performed said, Truly this is the prophet who is to come into the world.
15¶ But Jesus knew that they were ready to come and seize him to make him a king, so he departed to the mountain alone.
16And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea
17And entered into a boat, and were going to the port of Capernaum. And now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18And the sea became rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
19And they rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, and they saw Jesus walking on the sea; and as he drew towards their boat, they became afraid.
20But Jesus said to them, It is I, do not be afraid.
21So they wanted to receive him into the boat; but soon the boat reached the land to which they were going.
22¶ The next day, the multitude which stood waiting at the seaport saw no other boat there, except the boat in which the disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples.
23But other boats had come from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread when Jesus blessed it.
24And when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they entered the boats and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
25And when they found him at the seaport, they said to him, Teacher, when did you come here?
26Jesus answered, saying to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but just because you ate bread and were filled.
27Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you; for this one God the Father has sealed.
28They said to him, What shall we do to work the works of God?
29Jesus answered, saying to them, This is the work of God, that you should believe in him whom he has sent.
30They said to him, What miracle do you perform that we may see and believe in you? What have you performed?
31Our forefathers ate manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, It was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33For the bread of God is he who has come down from heaven, who gives life to the world.
34They said to him, Our Lord, give us this bread always.
35Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes in me shall never thirst.
36But I have said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
37Everyone whom my Father has given me shall come to me; and he who comes to me I will not cast out.
38For I came down from heaven, not merely to do my own will, but to do the will of him who sent me.
39This is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise it up at the last day.
40For this is the will of my Father, that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have life everlasting; and I will raise him up at the last day.
41Now the Jews murmured against him, for he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he say, I have come down from heaven?
43Jesus answered, saying to them, Do not murmur one with another.
44No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45For it is written in the prophet, They shall all be taught by God. Everyone therefore who hears from the Father and learns from him will come to me.
46No man can see the Father except him who is from God; he can see the Father.
47Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your forefathers ate manna in the wilderness, and yet they died.
50This is the bread which came down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread because I came down from heaven; if any man eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give is my body, which I am giving for the sake of the life of the world.
52The Jews argued one with another, saying, How can this man give us his body to eat?
53Jesus said to them. Truly, truly I say to you, Unless you eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves,
54He who eats of my body and drinks of my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him at the last day.
55For my body truly is the food, and my blood truly is the drink.
56He who eats my body and drinks my blood will abide with me, and I with him.
57Just as the living Father sent me, and I am living because of the Father, so whoever eats of me will also live because of me.
58This is the bread which came down from heaven; it is not like that manna which your forefathers ate and died; he who eats of this bread shall live forever.
59These things he said in the synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.
60¶ Many of his disciples who heard it said, This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?
61Jesus knew in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this; so he said to them, Does this cause you to stumble?
62What then if you should see the Son of man ascending to the place where he was before?
63It is the spirit that gives life; the body is of no account; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew for a long while who were those who did not believe, and who was to betray him.
65And he said to them, For this reason I have told you that no man can come to me unless it is given to him by my Father.
66¶ Just because of this saying a great many of his disciples turned away and did not walk with him.
67So Jesus said to his twelve, What! do you also want to go away?
68Simon Peter answered, saying, My Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69And we have believed and known that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
70Jesus said to them, Did not I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is Satan?
71He said it concerning Judah, the son of Simon Iscariot; for he was the one of the twelve who was going to betray him.

40 John 6:1-71
1After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber'i-as.
2And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.
3Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples.
4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
5Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"
6This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."
8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"
10Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
12And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."
13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.
14When the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world!"
15Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.
19When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened,
20but he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."
21Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
23However, boats from Tiber'i-as came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Caper'na-um, seeking Jesus.
25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
26Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.
27Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."
28Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"
29Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
30So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34They said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always."
35Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.
36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
37All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.
38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
39and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.
40For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."
42They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, `I have come down from heaven'?"
43Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.
44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
46Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.
47Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."
52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;
54he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.
58This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."
59This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Caper'na-um.
60Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"
61But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?
62Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?
63It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.
65And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."
66After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.
67Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"
68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;
69and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."
70Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
71He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was to betray him.(RSV)
40 John 6:1-71
1Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias),
2and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.
3Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.
4The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
5When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
8Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,
9"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
10Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted."
13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
17where 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.
18A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.
19When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.
20But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid."
21Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake 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.
23Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
25When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
26Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
28Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
30So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
31Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, 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.
33For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
34"Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread."
35Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
36But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
38For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
40For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
41At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
42They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, `I came down from heaven'?"
43"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.
44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the Prophets: `They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
47I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.
50But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.
51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
52Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
57Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
59He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
61Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?
62What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!
63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.
65He went on to say, "This is why I told you |
