John 6 : 35 - 71
Chapter 6
35 | And Jesus 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. |
36 | But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. |
37 | All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. |
38 | For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. |
39 | This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. |
40 | And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." |
41 | The Jews then complained about 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 says, "I have come down from heaven'?" |
43 | Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves. |
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. |
45 | It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. |
46 | Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. |
47 | Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. |
48 | I am the bread of life. |
49 | Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. |
50 | This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. |
51 | I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." |
52 | The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" |
53 | Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. |
54 | Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. |
55 | For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. |
56 | He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. |
57 | As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. |
58 | This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." |
59 | These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. |
60 | Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" |
61 | When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? |
62 | What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? |
63 | It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. |
64 | But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. |
65 | And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." |
66 | From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. |
67 | Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" |
68 | But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. |
69 | Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." |
70 | Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
71 | He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve. |
