John 6:60-68

60So then many of His 1disciples, when they heard this, said, “2This statement is very 3unpleasant; who can listen to it?” 61But Jesus, 4aware that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Is this 56offensive to you? 62What then if you see 7the Son of Man 8ascending to where He was before? 639It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; 10the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. 64But there are 11some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus 12knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and 13who it was who would 14betray Him. 65And He was saying, “For this reason I have 15told you that no one can come to Me unless 16it has been granted him from the Father.”

66As a result of this many of His 17disciples 18left, and would no longer walk with Him. 67So Jesus said to 19the twelve, “You do not want to leave also, do you?” 6820Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have 21words of eternal life.
