John 6:60-68

60When many of Jesus’ disciples heard him, they said, “What he says is hard to accept. Who wants to listen to him anymore?”

61Jesus was aware that his disciples were criticizing his message. So Jesus asked them, “Did what I say make you lose faith?

62What if you see the Son of Man go where he was before?

63Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn’t contribute to that life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. They are life.

64But some of you don’t believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning those who wouldn’t believe and the one who would betray him.

65So he added, “That is why I told you that people cannot come to me unless the Father provides the way.”

66Jesus’ speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Jesus.

67So Jesus asked the twelve apostles, “Do you want to leave me too?”

68Simon Peter answered Jesus, “Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life.
