John 6:41-71
411ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 2cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “3Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 4we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘5I 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 6drawsG1670 him; and I will 7raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 8in the prophetsG4396, ‘9And they shall allG3956 be 10taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4611Not 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 12hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4813I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4914Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 15comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 16not dieG599. 5117I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 18cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 19he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 20for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 21My fleshG4561.”
5222ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 23began 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 24the 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 25raiseG450 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 26abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 27livingG2198 FatherG3962 28sentG649 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 29cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 30the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 31will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 32in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 33in CapernaumG2746.
60ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of His 34disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this saidG3004, “35ThisG3778 is a difficultG4642 statementG3056; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 36consciousG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 grumbledG1111 at thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Does thisG3778 37causeG4624 you to stumbleG4624? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 38the SonG5207 of ManG444 39ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6340It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 profitsG5623 nothingG3762; 41the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151 and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 42someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 43knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 44whoG5101 it was that would 45betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 46saidG3004 to you, that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 47it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”
66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 48disciplesG3101 49withdrewG3694G565 and were not walkingG4043 with Him anymoreG3765. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 50the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to goG5217 awayG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6851SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 52wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69We have believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 53the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “54Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 55the twelveG1427, and yet oneG1520 of you is 56a devilG1228?” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 57the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469, for he, 58oneG1520 of 59the twelveG1427, 60was goingG3195 to betrayG3860 Him.
