John 6:41-71

411SoG3767 thenG3767 the JewsG2453 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 Him becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 2cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42And they were sayingG3004, “3Is thisG3778 not 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, “StopG3361 complainingG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 6drawsG1670 him; and I will 7raiseG450 him upG450 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, the one 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 that 15comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 thatG2443 anyoneG5100 may eatG2068 from it and 16not dieG599. 5117I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 18cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 from thisG3778 breadG740, 19he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 20for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 alsoG2532 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. 54The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 25raiseG450 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 26remainsG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57JustG2531 asG2531 the 27livingG2198 FatherG3962 28sentG649 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 29cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, not as 30the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; the one who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 31will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 32in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 33in CapernaumG2746.

60SoG3767 thenG3767 manyG4183 of His 34disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this, saidG3004, “35ThisG3778 statementG3056 is very 36unpleasantG4642; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 37awareG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Is thisG3778 3839offensiveG4624 to you? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 40the SonG5207 of ManG444 41ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6342It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 providesG5623 noG3762 benefitG5623; 43the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151, and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 44someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 45knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 46whoG5101 it was whoG3739 would 47betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 48toldG3004 you that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 49it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”

66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 50disciplesG3101 51leftG3694G565, and would noG3765 longerG3765 walkG4043 with Him. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 52the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to leaveG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6853SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 54wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69And we have already believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 55the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “56Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 57the twelveG1427? And yet oneG1520 of you is 58a devilG1228.” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 59the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469; for he, 60oneG1520 of 61the twelveG1427, 62wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 betrayG3860 Him.
