John 6:48-71

481I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 492Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 3comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 4not dieG599. 515I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 6cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 7he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 8for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 9My fleshG4561.”

5210ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 11began 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 12the 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 13raiseG450 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 14abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 15livingG2198 FatherG3962 16sentG649 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 17cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 18the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 19will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 20in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 21in CapernaumG2746.

60ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of His 22disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this saidG3004, “23ThisG3778 is a difficultG4642 statementG3056; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 24consciousG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 grumbledG1111 at thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Does thisG3778 25causeG4624 you to stumbleG4624? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 26the SonG5207 of ManG444 27ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6328It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 profitsG5623 nothingG3762; 29the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151 and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 30someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 31knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 32whoG5101 it was that would 33betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 34saidG3004 to you, that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 35it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”

66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 36disciplesG3101 37withdrewG3694G565 and were not walkingG4043 with Him anymoreG3765. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 38the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to goG5217 awayG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6839SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 40wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69We have believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 41the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “42Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 43the twelveG1427, and yet oneG1520 of you is 44a devilG1228?” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 45the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469, for he, 46oneG1520 of 47the twelveG1427, 48was goingG3195 to betrayG3860 Him.
