John 6:27-65

27Do not 1workG2038 for the foodG1035 which perishesG622, but for the foodG1035 which enduresG3306 to 2eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 3the SonG5207 of ManG444 will giveG1325 to you, for on Him the FatherG3962, GodG2316, 4has setG4972 His sealG4972.” 28ThereforeG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 shall we doG4160, soG3767 that we may workG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is 5the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 6has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “7WhatG5101 thenG3767 do You doG4160 for a 8signG4592, soG3767 that we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 do You performG2038? 319Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125, ‘10He gaveG1325 them breadG740 out of heavenG3772 to eatG2068.’” 32JesusG2424 thenG3767 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, it is not MosesG3475 who has givenG1325 you the breadG740 out of heavenG3772, but it is My FatherG3962 who givesG1325 you the trueG228 breadG740 out of heavenG3772. 33For the breadG740 of GodG2316 is 11that which 12comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 13giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”

35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “14I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; he who comesG2064 to Me will not hungerG3983, and he who believesG4100 in Me 15will neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372. 36But 16I saidG3004 to you that you have seenG3708 Me, and yet do not believeG4100. 3717AllG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I will certainlyG3756G3361 not castG1544 out. 38For 18I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 19not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 20the willG2307 of Him who 21sentG3992 Me. 39ThisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 22allG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I 23loseG622 nothingG3361, but 24raiseG450 it up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 25beholdsG2334 the SonG5207 and 26believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 27raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”

4128ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 29cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “30Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 31we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘32I have comeG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772’?” 43JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “Do not grumbleG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 33drawsG1670 him; and I will 34raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 35in the prophetsG4396, ‘36And they shall allG3956 be 37taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4638Not that anyoneG5100 has seenG3708 the FatherG3962, exceptG1508 the One who is from GodG2316; He has seenG3708 the FatherG3962. 47TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, he who believesG4100 39hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4840I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4941Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 42comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 43not dieG599. 5144I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 45cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 46he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 47for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 48My fleshG4561.”

5249ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 50began to argueG3164 with oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, “HowG4459 canG1410 thisG3778 manG3778 giveG1325 us His fleshG4561 to eatG2068?” 53SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you eatG2068 the fleshG4561 of 51the SonG5207 of ManG444 and drinkG4095 His bloodG129, you haveG2192 noG3756 lifeG2222 in yourselvesG1438. 54He who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 52raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 55For My fleshG4561 is trueG227 foodG1035, and My bloodG129 is trueG227 drinkG4213. 56He who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 53abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 54livingG2198 FatherG3962 55sentG649 Me, and I liveG2198 becauseG1223 of the FatherG3962, soG2532 he who eatsG5176 Me, he alsoG2548 will liveG2198 becauseG1223 of Me. 58ThisG3778 is the breadG740 whichG3588 56cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 57the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 58will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 59in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 60in CapernaumG2746.

60ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of His 61disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this saidG3004, “62ThisG3778 is a difficultG4642 statementG3056; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 63consciousG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 grumbledG1111 at thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Does thisG3778 64causeG4624 you to stumbleG4624? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 65the SonG5207 of ManG444 66ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6367It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 profitsG5623 nothingG3762; 68the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151 and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 69someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 70knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 71whoG5101 it was that would 72betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 73saidG3004 to you, that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 74it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”
