John 6:41-71

411Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that 2came down out of heaven.” 42They were saying, “3Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 4we know? How does He now say, ‘5I have come down out of heaven’?” 43Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me 6draws him; and I will 7raise him up on the last day. 45It is written 8in the prophets, ‘9And they shall all be 10taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 4611Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes 12has eternal life. 4813I am the bread of life. 4914Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread which 15comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and 16not die. 5117I am the living bread that 18came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, 19he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give 20for the life of the world is 21My flesh.”

5222Then the Jews 23began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of 24the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will 25raise him up on the last day. 55For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood 26abides in Me, and I in him. 57As the 27living Father 28sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58This is the bread which 29came down out of heaven; not as 30the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread 31will live forever.” 59These things He said 32in the synagogue as He taught 33in Capernaum.

60Therefore many of His 34disciples, when they heard this said, “35This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” 61But Jesus, 36conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this 37cause you to stumble? 62What then if you see 38the Son of Man 39ascending to where He was before? 6340It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; 41the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64But there are 42some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus 43knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and 44who it was that would 45betray Him. 65And He was saying, “For this reason I have 46said to you, that no one can come to Me unless 47it has been granted him from the Father.”

66As a result of this many of His 48disciples 49withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. 67So Jesus said to 50the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” 6851Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have 52words of eternal life. 69We have believed and have come to know that You are 53the Holy One of God.” 70Jesus answered them, “54Did I Myself not choose you, 55the twelve, and yet one of you is 56a devil?” 71Now He meant Judas 57the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, 58one of 59the twelve, 60was going to betray Him.
