John 6:27-71

27Do not 1workG2038 for the foodG1035 that perishesG622, but for the foodG1035 that lastsG3306 for 2eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 3the SonG5207 of ManG444 will giveG1325 you, for onG4972 Him the FatherG3962, GodG2316, 4has setG4972 His 5sealG4972.” 28ThereforeG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 are we to doG4160, soG2443 thatG2443 we may accomplishG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is 6the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 7has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “8WhatG5101 thenG3767 are You doingG4160 as a 9signG4592, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 are You performingG2038? 3110Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125: ‘11He 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 12that which 13comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 14giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”

35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “15I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; the one who comesG2064 to Me will not beG3983 hungryG3983, and the one who believesG4100 in Me 16will neverG3756G3361 beG1372 thirstyG1372. 36But 17I saidG3004 to you that you have indeedG2532 seenG3708 Me, and yet you do not believeG4100. 3718EverythingG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I certainlyG3756G3361 will not castG1544 outG1544. 38For 19I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 20not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 21the willG2307 of Him who 22sentG3992 Me. 39And thisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 23everythingG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I will 24loseG622 nothingG3361, but will 25raiseG450 it upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 26seesG2334 the SonG5207 and 27believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 28raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”

4129SoG3767 thenG3767 the JewsG2453 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 Him becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 30cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42And they were sayingG3004, “31Is thisG3778 not JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 32we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘33I have comeG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772’?” 43JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “StopG3361 complainingG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 34drawsG1670 him; and I will 35raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 36in the ProphetsG4396: ‘37And they shall allG3956 be 38taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4639Not that anyoneG5100 has seenG3708 the FatherG3962, exceptG1508 the One who is from GodG2316; He has seenG3708 the FatherG3962. 47TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, the one who believesG4100 40hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4841I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4942Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 that 43comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 thatG2443 anyoneG5100 may eatG2068 from it and 44not dieG599. 5145I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 46cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 from thisG3778 breadG740, 47he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 48for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 alsoG2532 is 49My fleshG4561.”

5250ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 51began 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 52the SonG5207 of ManG444 and drinkG4095 His bloodG129, you haveG2192 noG3756 lifeG2222 in yourselvesG1438. 54The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 53raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 55For My fleshG4561 is trueG227 foodG1035, and My bloodG129 is trueG227 drinkG4213. 56The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 54remainsG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57JustG2531 asG2531 the 55livingG2198 FatherG3962 56sentG649 Me, and I liveG2198 becauseG1223 of the FatherG3962, the one who eatsG5176 Me, he alsoG2548 will liveG2198 becauseG1223 of Me. 58ThisG3778 is the breadG740 that 57cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, not as 58the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; the one who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 59will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 60in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 61in CapernaumG2746.

60SoG3767 thenG3767 manyG4183 of His 62disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this, saidG3004, “63ThisG3778 statementG3056 is very 64unpleasantG4642; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 65awareG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Is thisG3778 6667offensiveG4624 to you? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 68the SonG5207 of ManG444 69ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6370It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 providesG5623 noG3762 benefitG5623; 71the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151, and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 72someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 73knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 74whoG5101 it was whoG3739 would 75betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 76toldG3004 you that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 77it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”

66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 78disciplesG3101 79leftG3694G565, and would noG3765 longerG3765 walkG4043 with Him. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 80the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to leaveG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6881SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 82wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69And we have already believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 83the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “84Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 85the twelveG1427? And yet oneG1520 of you is 86a devilG1228.” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 87the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469; for he, 88oneG1520 of 89the twelveG1427, 90wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 betrayG3860 Him.
