John 6
- 1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
- 2And a great crowd followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on those who 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 near.
- 5When Jesus then looked up and saw a great company come to him, he says to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
- 6And this he said to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
- 7Philip answered him, Two hundred silver coins' worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
- 8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
- 9There is a boy here who has 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 those who were seated. And likewise of the fishes as much as they wanted.
- 12When they were filled, he said to 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 to those who had eaten.
- 14Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is truly that prophet who should come into the world.
- 15When Jesus therefore realized that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he went again into a mountain himself alone.
- 16And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea,
- 17And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
- 18And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
- 19So when they had rowed three or four miles, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship. And they were afraid.
- 20But he says to them, It is I. Do not be afraid.
- 21Then they willingly received him into the ship. And immediately the ship was at the land where they went.
- 22The next day, the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one his disciples had entered, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
- 23However other boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks.
- 24When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also got into boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
- 25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
- 26Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
- 27Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you. For him has God the Father sealed.
- 28Then they said to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
- 29Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he has sent.
- 30They said therefore to him, What sign do you show then, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?
- 31Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
- 32Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you that bread from heaven. But my Father 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.
- 34Then they said to him, Lord, forever give us this bread.
- 35And 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.
- 36But I said to you, You also have seen me, and do not believe.
- 37All that the Father gives me shall come to me. And him who comes to me I will in no way cast out.
- 38For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
- 39And this is the Father's will who has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
- 40And 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.
- 41The Jews then complained 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 says, I came down from heaven?
- 43Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Do not complain among yourselves.
- 44No man can come to me, unless the Father who has 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 of God. Every man therefore who has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me.
- 46Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
- 47Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me has everlasting life.
- 48I am that bread of life.
- 49Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
- 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 anyone eats this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
- 52The Jews therefore argued among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
- 53Then 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.
- 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 food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
- 56He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, lives in me, and I in him.
- 57As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he who eats me, even he shall live by me.
- 58This is that bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead. He who eats of this bread shall live forever.
- 59These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
- 60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying. Who can hear it?
- 61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples complained at it, he said to them, Does this offend you?
- 62What then if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
- 63It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
- 64But there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who should betray him.
- 65And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, unless it were given to him of my Father.
- 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
- 67Then Jesus said to the twelve, Will you also go away?
- 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, who shall we go to? You have the words of eternal life.
- 69And we believe and are sure that you are that Christ, the Son of the living God.
- 70Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
- 71He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon. For it was he that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
