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 that 3comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 thatG2443 anyoneG5100 may eatG2068 from it and 4not dieG599. 515I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 6cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 from thisG3778 breadG740, 7he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 8for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 alsoG2532 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. 54The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 13raiseG450 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 14remainsG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57JustG2531 asG2531 the 15livingG2198 FatherG3962 16sentG649 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 17cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, not as 18the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; the one who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 19will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 20in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 21in CapernaumG2746.

60SoG3767 thenG3767 manyG4183 of His 22disciplesG3101, when they heardG191 this, saidG3004, “23ThisG3778 statementG3056 is very 24unpleasantG4642; whoG5101 canG1410 listenG191 to it?” 61But JesusG2424, 25awareG3609G1722G1438 that His disciplesG3101 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 thisG3778, saidG3004 to them, “Is thisG3778 2627offensiveG4624 to you? 62What thenG3767 ifG1437 you seeG2334 28the SonG5207 of ManG444 29ascendingG305 to whereG3699 He was beforeG4387? 6330It is the SpiritG4151 who givesG2227 lifeG2227; the fleshG4561 providesG5623 noG3762 benefitG5623; 31the wordsG4487 that I have spokenG2980 to you are spiritG4151, and are lifeG2222. 64But there are 32someG5100 of you whoG3739 do not believeG4100.” For JesusG2424 33knewG3609 from the beginningG746 whoG5101 they were who did not believeG4100, and 34whoG5101 it was whoG3739 would 35betrayG3860 Him. 65And He was sayingG3004, “For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I have 36toldG3004 you that noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 37it has beenG1510 grantedG1325 him from the FatherG3962.”

66As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 manyG4183 of His 38disciplesG3101 39leftG3694G565, and would noG3765 longerG3765 walkG4043 with Him. 67SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to 40the twelveG1427, “You do not wantG2309 to leaveG5217 alsoG2532, do you?” 6841SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 Him, “LordG2962, to whomG5101 shall we goG565? You haveG2192 42wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 69And we have already believedG4100 and have come to knowG1097 that You are 43the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316.” 70JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “44Did I MyselfG1473 not chooseG1586 you, 45the twelveG1427? And yet oneG1520 of you is 46a devilG1228.” 71NowG1161 He meantG3004 JudasG2455 47the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469; for he, 48oneG1520 of 49the twelveG1427, 50wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 betrayG3860 Him.
