Context of John 6:59

57As 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. 58This 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. These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum. 60Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it? 61But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?
