John 6:38-71

38For 1I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 2not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 3the willG2307 of Him who 4sentG3992 Me. 39ThisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 5allG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I 6loseG622 nothingG3361, but 7raiseG450 it up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 8beholdsG2334 the SonG5207 and 9believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 10raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”

4111ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 12cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “13Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 14we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘15I 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 16drawsG1670 him; and I will 17raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 18in the prophetsG4396, ‘19And they shall allG3956 be 20taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4621Not 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 22hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4823I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4924Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 25comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 26not dieG599. 5127I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 28cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 29he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 30for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 31My fleshG4561.”

5232ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 33began 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 34the 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 35raiseG450 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 36abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 37livingG2198 FatherG3962 38sentG649 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 39cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 40the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 41will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 42in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 43in CapernaumG2746.

60ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of His 44disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this saidG3004, “45ThisG3778 is a difficultG4642 statementG3056; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 46consciousG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 grumbledG1111 at thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Does thisG3778 47causeG4624 you to stumbleG4624? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 48the SonG5207 of ManG444 49ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6350It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 profitsG5623 nothingG3762; 51the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151 and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 52someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 53knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 54whoG5101 it was that would 55betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 56saidG3004 to you, that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 57it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”

66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 58disciplesG3101 59withdrewG3694G565 and were not walkingG4043 with Him anymoreG3765. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 60the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to goG5217 awayG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6861SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 62wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69We have believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 63the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “64Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 65the twelveG1427, and yet oneG1520 of you is 66a devilG1228?” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 67the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469, for he, 68oneG1520 of 69the twelveG1427, 70was goingG3195 to betrayG3860 Him.
