¹ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

² And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

³ And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

⁴ And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

⁵ When 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?

⁶ And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

⁹ There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

¹⁰ And 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.

¹¹ And 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.

¹² When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

¹³ Therefore 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.

¹⁴ Then 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.

¹⁵ When 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.

¹⁶ And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

¹⁷ And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

¹⁸ And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁹ So 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.

²⁰ But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

²¹ Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

²² The 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:)

²⁴ When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

²⁵ And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

²⁶ Jesus 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.

²⁷ Labour 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.

²⁸ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

³⁰ They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

³¹ Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

³² Then 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.

³³ For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

³⁵ And 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.

³⁶ But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

³⁷ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹ And 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.

⁴⁰ And 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.

⁴¹ The Jews then murmured at 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 saith, I came down from heaven?

⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁵ It 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.

⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

⁴⁸ I am that bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

⁵¹ I 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.

⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵³ Then 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.

⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

⁵⁸ This 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.

⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

⁶¹ When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

⁶² What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

⁶⁴ But 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.

⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

⁶⁶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

⁷¹ He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

¹ After ^G3326 these things ^G5023 Jesus ^G2424 went ^G565 over ^G4008 the sea ^G2281 of Galilee, ^G1056 which is the sea of Tiberias. ^G5085

² And ^G2532 a great ^G4183 multitude ^G3793 followed ^G190 him, ^G846 because ^G3754 they saw ^G3708 his ^G846 miracles ^G4592 which ^G3739 he did ^G4160 on ^G1909 them that were diseased. ^G770

³ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 went up ^G424 into ^G1519 a mountain, ^G3735 and ^G2532 there ^G1563 he sat ^G2521 with ^G3326 his ^G846 disciples. ^G3101

⁴ And ^G1161 the passover, ^G3957 a feast ^G1859 of the Jews, ^G2453 was ^G2258 nigh. ^G1451

⁵ When Jesus ^G2424 then ^G3767 lifted up ^G1869 his eyes, ^G3788 and ^G2532 saw ^{G2300 G3754} a great ^G4183 company ^G3793 come ^G2064 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 he saith ^G3004 unto ^G4314 Philip, ^G5376 Whence ^G4159 shall we buy ^G59 bread, ^G740 that ^G2443 these ^G3778 may eat? ^G5315

⁶ And ^G1161 this ^G5124 he said ^G3004 to prove ^G3985 him: ^G846 for ^G1063 he himself ^G846 knew ^G1492 what ^G5101 he would ^G3195 do. ^G4160

⁷ Philip ^G5376 answered ^G611 him, ^G846 Two hundred ^G1250 pennyworth ^G1220 of bread ^G740 is ^G714 not ^G3756 sufficient ^G714 for them, ^G846 that ^G2443 every one ^G1538 of them ^G846 may take ^G2983 a ^G5100 little. ^G1024

⁸ One ^G1520 of ^G1537 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 Andrew, ^G406 Simon ^G4613 Peter's ^G4074 brother, ^G80 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846

⁹ There is ^G2076 a ^G1520 lad ^G3808 here, ^G5602 which ^G3739 hath ^G2192 five ^G4002 barley ^G2916 loaves, ^G740 and ^G2532 two ^G1417 small fishes: ^G3795 but ^G235 what ^G5101 are ^G2076 they ^G5023 among ^G1519 so many? ^G5118

¹⁰ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Make ^G4160 the men ^G444 sit down. ^G377 Now ^G1161 there was ^G2258 much ^G4183 grass ^G5528 in ^G1722 the place. ^G5117 So ^G3767 the men ^G435 sat down, ^G377 in number ^G706 about ^G5616 five thousand. ^G4000

¹¹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 took ^G2983 the loaves; ^G740 and ^G2532 when he had given thanks, ^G2168 he distributed ^G1239 to the disciples, ^G3101 and ^G1161 the disciples ^G3101 to them that were set down; ^G345 and ^G2532 likewise ^G3668 of ^G1537 the fishes ^G3795 as much as ^G3745 they would. ^G2309

¹² When ^{G1161 G5613} they were filled, ^G1705 he said ^G3004 unto his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 Gather up ^G4863 the fragments ^G2801 that remain, ^G4052 that nothing ^{G3363 G5100} be lost. ^G622

¹³ Therefore ^G3767 they gathered them together, ^G4863 and ^G2532 filled ^G1072 twelve ^G1427 baskets ^G2894 with the fragments ^G2801 of ^G1537 the five ^G4002 barley ^G2916 loaves, ^G740 which ^G3739 remained over and above ^G4052 unto them that had eaten. ^G977

¹⁴ Then ^G3767 those men, ^G444 when they had seen ^G1492 the miracle ^G4592 that ^G3739 Jesus ^G2424 did, ^G4160 said, ^G3004 This ^{G3754 G3778} is ^G2076 of a truth ^G230 that prophet ^G4396 that should come ^G2064 into ^G1519 the world. ^G2889

¹⁵ When Jesus ^G2424 therefore ^G3767 perceived ^G1097 that ^G3754 they would ^G3195 come ^G2064 and ^G2532 take ^G726 him ^G846 by force, ^G726 to ^G2443 make ^G4160 him ^G846 a king, ^G935 he departed ^G402 again ^G3825 into ^G1519 a mountain ^G3735 himself ^G846 alone. ^G3441

¹⁶ And ^G1161 when ^G5613 even ^G3798 was now come, ^G1096 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 went down ^G2597 unto ^G1909 the sea, ^G2281

¹⁷ And ^G2532 entered ^G1684 into ^G1519 a ship, ^G4143 and went ^G2064 over ^G4008 the sea ^G2281 toward ^G1519 Capernaum. ^G2584 And ^G2532 it was ^G1096 now ^G2235 dark, ^G4653 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 was ^G2064 not ^G3756 come ^G2064 to ^G4314 them. ^G846

¹⁸ And ^G5037 the sea ^G2281 arose ^G1326 by reason of a great ^G3173 wind ^G417 that blew. ^G4154

¹⁹ So ^G3767 when they had rowed ^G1643 about ^G5613 five ^G4002 and twenty ^G1501 or ^G2228 thirty ^G5144 furlongs, ^G4712 they see ^G2334 Jesus ^G2424 walking ^G4043 on ^G1909 the sea, ^G2281 and ^G2532 drawing ^G1096 nigh ^G1451 unto the ship: ^G4143 and ^G2532 they were afraid. ^G5399

²⁰ But ^G1161 he saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 It is ^G1510 I; ^G1473 be ^G5399 not ^G3361 afraid. ^G5399

²¹ Then ^G3767 they willingly ^G2309 received ^G2983 him ^G846 into ^G1519 the ship: ^G4143 and ^G2532 immediately ^G2112 the ship ^G4143 was ^G1096 at ^G1909 the land ^G1093 whither ^{G1519 G3739} they went. ^G5217

²² The day following, ^G1887 when the people ^G3793 which ^G3588 stood ^G2476 on the other side ^G4008 of the sea ^G2281 saw ^G1492 that ^G3754 there was ^G2258 none ^G3756 other ^G243 boat ^G4142 there, ^G1563 save ^G1508 that ^G1565 one ^G1520 whereinto ^{G1519 G3739} his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 were entered, ^G1684 and ^G2532 that ^G3754 Jesus ^G2424 went ^G4897 not ^G3756 with ^G4897 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 into ^G1519 the boat, ^G4142 but ^G235 that his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 were gone away ^G565 alone; ^G3441

²³ (Howbeit ^{G235 G1161} there came ^G2064 other ^G243 boats ^G4142 from ^G1537 Tiberias ^G5085 nigh ^G1451 unto the place ^G5117 where ^G3699 they did eat ^G5315 bread, ^G740 after that the Lord ^G2962 had given thanks:) ^G2168

²⁴ When ^G3753 the people ^G3793 therefore ^G3767 saw ^G1492 that ^G3754 Jesus ^G2424 was ^G2076 not ^G3756 there, ^G1563 neither ^G3761 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 they ^G846 also ^G2532 took ^{G1684 G1519} shipping, ^G4143 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 to ^G1519 Capernaum, ^G2584 seeking for ^G2212 Jesus. ^G2424

²⁵ And ^G2532 when they had found ^G2147 him ^G846 on the other side ^G4008 of the sea, ^G2281 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Rabbi, ^G4461 when ^G4219 camest thou ^G1096 hither? ^G5602

²⁶ Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 them ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Verily, ^G281 verily, ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Ye seek ^G2212 me, ^G3165 not ^G3756 because ^G3754 ye saw ^G1492 the miracles, ^G4592 but ^G235 because ^G3754 ye did eat ^G5315 of ^G1537 the loaves, ^G740 and ^G2532 were filled. ^G5526

²⁷ Labour ^G2038 not ^G3361 for the meat ^G1035 which ^G3588 perisheth, ^G622 but ^G235 for that meat ^G1035 which ^G3588 endureth ^G3306 unto ^G1519 everlasting ^G166 life, ^G2222 which ^G3739 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 shall give ^G1325 unto you: ^G5213 for ^G1063 him ^G5126 hath ^G4972 God ^G2316 the Father ^G3962 sealed. ^G4972

²⁸ Then ^G3767 said they ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 What ^G5101 shall we do, ^{G4160 G4160} that ^G2443 we might work ^G2038 the works ^G2041 of God? ^G2316

²⁹ Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 This ^G5124 is ^G2076 the work ^G2041 of God, ^G2316 that ^G2443 ye believe ^G4100 on ^G1519 him ^G3739 whom ^G1565 he hath sent. ^G649

³⁰ They said ^G2036 therefore ^G3767 unto him, ^G846 What ^G5101 sign ^G4592 shewest ^G4160 thou ^G4771 then, ^G3767 that ^G2443 we may see, ^G1492 and ^G2532 believe ^G4100 thee? ^G4671 what ^G5101 dost thou work? ^G2038

³¹ Our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 did eat ^G5315 manna ^G3131 in ^G1722 the desert; ^G2048 as ^G2531 it is ^G2076 written, ^G1125 He gave ^G1325 them ^G846 bread ^G740 from ^G1537 heaven ^G3772 to eat. ^G5315

³² Then ^G3767 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Verily, ^G281 verily, ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Moses ^G3475 gave ^G1325 you ^G5213 not ^G3756 that bread ^G740 from ^G1537 heaven; ^G3772 but ^G235 my ^G3450 Father ^G3962 giveth ^G1325 you ^G5213 the true ^G228 bread ^G740 from ^G1537 heaven. ^G3772

³³ For ^G1063 the bread ^G740 of God ^G2316 is he ^G2076 which ^G3588 cometh down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven, ^G3772 and ^G2532 giveth ^G1325 life ^G2222 unto the world. ^G2889

³⁴ Then ^G3767 said they ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Lord, ^G2962 evermore ^G3842 give ^G1325 us ^G2254 this ^G5126 bread. ^G740

³⁵ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 I ^G1473 am ^G1510 the bread ^G740 of life: ^G2222 he that cometh ^G2064 to ^G4314 me ^G3165 shall never ^G3364 hunger; ^G3983 and ^G2532 he that believeth ^G4100 on ^G1519 me ^G1691 shall ^G1372 never ^{G3364 G4455} thirst. ^G1372

³⁶ But ^G235 I said ^G2036 unto you, ^G5213 That ^G3754 ye ^G3708 also ^G2532 have seen ^G3708 me, ^G3165 and ^G2532 believe ^G4100 not. ^G3756

³⁷ All ^G3956 that ^G3739 the Father ^G3962 giveth ^G1325 me ^G3427 shall come ^G2240 to ^G4314 me; ^G1691 and ^G2532 him that cometh ^G2064 to ^G4314 me ^G3165 I will ^G1544 in no wise ^G3364 cast ^G1544 out. ^G1854

³⁸ For ^G3754 I came down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven, ^G3772 not ^G3756 to ^G2443 do ^G4160 mine own ^G1699 will, ^G2307 but ^G235 the will ^G2307 of him that sent ^G3992 me. ^G3165

³⁹ And ^G1161 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 the Father's ^G3962 will ^G2307 which ^G3588 hath sent ^G3992 me, ^G3165 that ^G2443 of all ^G3956 which ^G3739 he hath given ^G1325 me ^G3427 I should lose ^G622 nothing, ^{G3361 G1537 G846} but ^G235 should raise ^G450 it ^G846 up again ^G450 at ^G1722 the last ^G2078 day. ^G2250

⁴⁰ And ^G1161 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 the will ^G2307 of him that sent ^G3992 me, ^G3165 that ^G2443 every one ^G3956 which ^G3588 seeth ^G2334 the Son, ^G5207 and ^G2532 believeth ^G4100 on ^G1519 him, ^G846 may have ^G2192 everlasting ^G166 life: ^G2222 and ^G2532 I ^G1473 will raise ^G450 him ^G846 up ^G450 at the last ^G2078 day. ^G2250

⁴¹ The Jews ^G2453 then ^G3767 murmured ^G1111 at ^G4012 him, ^G846 because ^G3754 he said, ^G2036 I ^G1473 am ^G1510 the bread ^G740 which ^G3588 came down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven. ^G3772

⁴² And ^G2532 they said, ^G3004 Is ^G2076 not ^G3756 this ^G3778 Jesus, ^G2424 the son ^G5207 of Joseph, ^G2501 whose ^G3739 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 mother ^G3384 we ^G2249 know? ^G1492 how is it ^G4459 then ^G3767 that he ^G3778 saith, ^{G3004 G3754} I came down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven? ^G3772

⁴³ Jesus ^G2424 therefore ^G3767 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Murmur ^G1111 not ^G3361 among ^G3326 yourselves. ^G240

⁴⁴ No man ^G3762 can ^G1410 come ^G2064 to ^G4314 me, ^G3165 except ^G3362 the Father ^G3962 which ^G3588 hath sent ^G3992 me ^G3165 draw ^G1670 him: ^G846 and ^G2532 I ^G1473 will raise ^G450 him ^G846 up ^G450 at the last ^G2078 day. ^G2250

⁴⁵ It is ^G2076 written ^G1125 in ^G1722 the prophets, ^G4396 And ^G2532 they shall be ^G2071 all ^G3956 taught ^G1318 of God. ^G2316 Every man ^G3956 therefore ^G3767 that hath heard, ^G191 and ^G2532 hath learned ^G3129 of ^G3844 the Father, ^G3962 cometh ^G2064 unto ^G4314 me. ^G3165

⁴⁶ Not ^G3756 that ^G3754 any man ^G5100 hath seen ^G3708 the Father, ^G3962 save ^G1508 he which ^G3588 is ^{G3844 G5607} of God, ^G2316 he ^G3778 hath seen ^G3708 the Father. ^G3962

⁴⁷ Verily, ^G281 verily, ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 He that believeth ^G4100 on ^G1519 me ^G1691 hath ^G2192 everlasting ^G166 life. ^G2222

⁴⁸ I ^G1473 am ^G1510 that bread ^G740 of life. ^G2222

⁴⁹ Your ^G5216 fathers ^G3962 did eat ^G5315 manna ^G3131 in ^G1722 the wilderness, ^G2048 and ^G2532 are dead. ^G599

⁵⁰ This ^G3778 is ^G2076 the bread ^G740 which ^G3588 cometh down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven, ^G3772 that ^G3363 a man ^G5100 may eat ^G5315 thereof, ^{G1537 G846} and ^G2532 not ^G3363 die. ^G599

⁵¹ I ^G1473 am ^G1510 the living ^G2198 bread ^G740 which ^G3588 came down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven: ^G3772 if ^G1437 any man ^G5100 eat ^G5315 of ^G1537 this ^G5127 bread, ^G740 he shall live ^G2198 for ^G1519 ever: ^G165 and ^{G1161 G2532} the bread ^G740 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 will give ^G1325 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 flesh, ^G4561 which ^G3739 I ^G1473 will give ^G1325 for ^G5228 the life ^G2222 of the world. ^G2889

⁵² The Jews ^G2453 therefore ^G3767 strove ^G3164 among ^G4314 themselves, ^G240 saying, ^G3004 How ^G4459 can ^G1410 this man ^G3778 give ^G1325 us ^G2254 his flesh ^G4561 to eat? ^G5315

⁵³ Then ^G3767 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Verily, ^G281 verily, ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Except ^G3362 ye eat ^G5315 the flesh ^G4561 of the Son ^G5207 of man, ^G444 and ^G2532 drink ^G4095 his ^G846 blood, ^G129 ye have ^G2192 no ^G3756 life ^G2222 in ^G1722 you. ^G1438

⁵⁴ Whoso eateth ^G5176 my ^G3450 flesh, ^G4561 and ^G2532 drinketh ^G4095 my ^G3450 blood, ^G129 hath ^G2192 eternal ^G166 life; ^G2222 and ^G2532 I ^G1473 will raise ^G450 him ^G846 up ^G450 at the last ^G2078 day. ^G2250

⁵⁵ For ^G1063 my ^G3450 flesh ^G4561 is ^G2076 meat ^G1035 indeed, ^G230 and ^G2532 my ^G3450 blood ^G129 is ^G2076 drink ^G4213 indeed. ^G230

⁵⁶ He that eateth ^G5176 my ^G3450 flesh, ^G4561 and ^G2532 drinketh ^G4095 my ^G3450 blood, ^G129 dwelleth ^G3306 in ^G1722 me, ^G1698 and I ^G2504 in ^G1722 him. ^G846

⁵⁷ As ^G2531 the living ^G2198 Father ^G3962 hath sent ^G649 me, ^G3165 and I ^G2504 live ^G2198 by ^G1223 the Father: ^G3962 so ^G2532 he that eateth ^G5176 me, ^G3165 even he ^G2548 shall live ^G2198 by ^G1223 me. ^G1691

⁵⁸ This ^G3778 is ^G2076 that bread ^G740 which ^G3588 came down ^G2597 from ^G1537 heaven: ^G3772 not ^G3756 as ^G2531 your ^G5216 fathers ^G3962 did eat ^G5315 manna, ^G3131 and ^G2532 are dead: ^G599 he that eateth ^G5176 of this ^G5126 bread ^G740 shall live ^G2198 for ^G1519 ever. ^G165

⁵⁹ These things ^G5023 said he ^G2036 in ^G1722 the synagogue, ^G4864 as he taught ^G1321 in ^G1722 Capernaum. ^G2584

⁶⁰ Many ^G4183 therefore ^G3767 of ^G1537 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 when they had heard ^G191 this, said, ^G2036 This ^G3778 is ^G2076 an hard ^G4642 saying; ^G3056 who ^G5101 can ^G1410 hear ^G191 it? ^G846

⁶¹ When ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 knew ^G1492 in ^G1722 himself ^G1438 that ^G3754 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 murmured ^G1111 at ^G4012 it, ^G5127 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Doth this ^G5124 offend ^G4624 you? ^G5209

⁶² What and ^G3767 if ^G1437 ye shall see ^G2334 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 ascend up ^G305 where ^G3699 he was ^G2258 before? ^G4386

⁶³ It is ^G2076 the spirit ^G4151 that quickeneth; ^G2227 the flesh ^{G4561 G3756} profiteth ^G5623 nothing: ^G3762 the words ^G4487 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 speak ^G2980 unto you, ^G5213 they are ^G2076 spirit, ^G4151 and ^G2532 they are ^G2076 life. ^G2222

⁶⁴ But ^G235 there are ^G1526 some ^G5100 of ^G1537 you ^G5216 that ^G3739 believe ^G4100 not. ^G3756 For ^G1063 Jesus ^G2424 knew ^G1492 from ^G1537 the beginning ^G746 who ^G5101 they were ^G1526 that believed ^G4100 not, ^G3361 and ^G2532 who ^G5101 should ^G2076 betray ^G3860 him. ^G846

⁶⁵ And ^G2532 he said, ^G3004 Therefore ^{G1223 G5124} said I ^G2046 unto you, ^G5213 that ^G3754 no man ^G3762 can ^G1410 come ^G2064 unto ^G4314 me, ^G3165 except ^G3362 it were ^G5600 given ^G1325 unto him ^G846 of ^G1537 my ^G3450 Father. ^G3962

⁶⁶ From ^G1537 that ^G5127 time many ^G4183 of his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 went ^G565 back, ^{G1519 G3694} and ^G2532 walked ^G4043 no more ^G3765 with ^G3326 him. ^G846

⁶⁷ Then ^G3767 said ^G2036 Jesus ^G2424 unto the twelve, ^{G1427 G3361} Will ^G2309 ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 go away? ^G5217

⁶⁸ Then ^G3767 Simon ^G4613 Peter ^G4074 answered ^G611 him, ^G846 Lord, ^G2962 to ^G4314 whom ^G5101 shall we go? ^G565 thou hast ^G2192 the words ^G4487 of eternal ^G166 life. ^G2222

⁶⁹ And ^G2532 we ^G2249 believe ^G4100 and ^G2532 are sure ^G1097 that ^G3754 thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 that Christ, ^G5547 the Son ^G5207 of the living ^G2198 God. ^G2316

⁷⁰ Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 them, ^G846 Have ^G1586 not ^G3756 I ^G1473 chosen ^G1586 you ^G5209 twelve, ^G1427 and ^G2532 one ^G1520 of ^G1537 you ^G5216 is ^G2076 a devil? ^G1228

^{71 G1161} He spake ^G3004 of Judas ^G2455 Iscariot ^G2469 the son of Simon: ^G4613 for ^G1063 he ^G3778 it was that should ^G3195 betray ^G3860 him, ^G846 being ^G5607 one ^G1520 of ^G1537 the twelve. ^G1427

¹ After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is `the sea' of Tiberias.

² And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

³ And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

⁴ Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

⁵ Jesus 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?

⁶ And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

⁹ There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?

¹⁰ Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ Jesus 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.

¹² And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.

¹³ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

¹⁴ When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;

¹⁷ and 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.

¹⁸ And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁹ When 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.

²⁰ But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.

²² On 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):

²⁴ when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

²⁶ Jesus 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.

²⁷ Work 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.

²⁸ They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?

²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

³⁰ They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?

³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

³² Jesus 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.

³³ For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

³⁴ They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

³⁵ Jesus 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.

³⁶ But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.

³⁷ All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

³⁸ For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹ And 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.

⁴⁰ For 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.

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.

⁴² And 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?

⁴³ Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It 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.

⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

⁵¹ I 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.

⁵² The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵³ Jesus 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.

⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.

⁵⁸ This 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.

⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when the heard `this', said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

⁶¹ But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?

⁶² `What' then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?

⁶³ It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

⁶⁴ But 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.

⁶⁵ And 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.

⁶⁶ Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

⁷¹ Now he spake of Judas `the son' of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, `being' one of the twelve.

---

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

² and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

³ and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

⁴ and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

⁵ Jesus then having lifted up `his' eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' --

⁶ and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

⁷ Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

⁸ one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?'

¹⁰ And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

¹² And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'

¹³ they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

¹⁴ The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'

¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

¹⁸ the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised,

¹⁹ having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

²⁰ and he saith to them, `I am `he', be not afraid;'

²¹ they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

²² On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

²³ (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

²⁴ when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

²⁵ and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- `even' God.'

²⁸ They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

³⁰ They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

³¹ our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

³⁴ They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.'

³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

³⁶ but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷ all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹ `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰ and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

⁴¹ The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

⁴² and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

⁴³ Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁴⁴ no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁶ not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷ `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life;

⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us `his' flesh to eat?'

⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵ for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

⁶⁰ many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

⁶¹ And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

⁶² if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

⁶⁴ but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

⁶⁵ and he said, `Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

⁶⁶ From this `time' many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

⁶⁷ Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?'

⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you -- the twelve? and of you -- one is a devil.

⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's `son', Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

---

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,

² and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

³ And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:

⁴ but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵ Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

⁶ But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

⁷ Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

⁹ There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

¹⁰ [And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

¹² And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

¹³ They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

¹⁴ The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶ But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

¹⁸ and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

¹⁹ Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

²⁰ But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.

²² On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his disciples had gone away alone;

²³ (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

²⁴ when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.

²⁷ Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God.

²⁸ They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God?

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent.

³⁰ They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

³² Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, [It is] not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

³³ For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

³⁴ They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.

³⁵ [And] Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time.

³⁶ But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.

³⁷ All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.

³⁸ For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my* will, but the will of him that has sent me.

³⁹ And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven?

⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and has learned [of him], comes to me;

⁴⁶ not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵² The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

⁵⁵ for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

⁵⁶ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.

⁵⁹ These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?

⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?

⁶² If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?

⁶³ It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and 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 deliver him up.

⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.

⁶⁶ From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast words of life eternal;

⁶⁹ and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.

⁷¹ Now he spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon, Iscariote, for he [it was who] should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

¹ After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

² A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

³ Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

⁴ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

⁵ Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

⁶ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

⁹ "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

¹⁰ Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

¹² When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."

¹³ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

¹⁴ When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

¹⁶ When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

¹⁹ When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,{25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles} they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰ But he said to them, "I AM. Don't be afraid."

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

²² On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

²³ However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

²⁴ When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

²⁶ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷ Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

²⁸ They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"

²⁹ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

³⁰ They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven{Greek and Hebrew use the same word for "heaven", "the heavens", "the sky", and "the air".} to eat.'"

³² Jesus therefore said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

³³ For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

³⁴ They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

³⁵ Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

³⁶ But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.

³⁷ All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw 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 my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁰ This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

⁴² They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

⁴³ Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, 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 tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

⁵² The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ He who 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 lives 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, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down out of heaven-- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. 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 listen to it?"

⁶¹ But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

⁶² Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to 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 are life.

⁶⁴ But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

⁶⁵ He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

⁶⁶ At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?"

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

⁷¹ Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

---

¹ After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.

² And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

³ Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

⁴ Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵ Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

⁶ This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

⁷ Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

⁹ There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

¹⁰ Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

¹¹ Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

¹² And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

¹³ So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

¹⁴ And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

¹⁶ When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;

¹⁷ And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

¹⁹ After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

²⁰ But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

²¹ Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

²² The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

²³ Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

²⁴ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

²⁵ And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

²⁶ Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

²⁷ Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

²⁸ Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

²⁹ Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

³⁰ So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

³¹ Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

³² Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

³³ The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

³⁴ Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

³⁵ And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

³⁶ But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

³⁷ Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

³⁹ And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

⁴⁰ This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

⁴¹ Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, 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 have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

⁴³ Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

⁴⁴ No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

⁴⁵ The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

⁴⁶ Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

⁵⁰ The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵² Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

⁵⁵ My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

⁵⁹ Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?

⁶¹ When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

⁶² What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

⁶³ The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

⁶⁴ But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

⁶⁵ And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

⁶⁶ Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

⁶⁹ And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

⁷⁰ Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

⁷¹ He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.
