John 6:61-71

61But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense?

62What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?

63It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].

64But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

65And He was saying, “This is the reason why I have told you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him [that is, unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father.”

66As a result of this many of His disciples abandoned Him, and no longer walked with Him.

67So Jesus said to the twelve [disciples], “You do not want to leave too, do you?”

68Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope].

69We have believed and confidently trusted, and [even more] we have come to know [by personal observation and experience] that You are the Holy One of God [the Christ, the Son of the living God].”

70Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve [disciples]? And yet one of you is a devil (ally of Satan).”

71Now He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for he, one of the twelve [disciples], was about to betray Him.
