John 6
1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
Afterward, Jesus crossed the sea of Galilee, also called of Tiberias;
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they had seen the signs which he did in the case of the sick.
and a great multitude followed him, because they had seen the miraculous cures which he had performed.
3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and sat there with his disciples.
And Jesus went up on a mountain; where he sat down with his disciples.
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
Now the passover, the Jewish festival, was near.
5 Then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?
Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and perceiving that a great multitude was flocking to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread to feed these people?
6 But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was about to do.
(This he said to try him; for he knew himself, what he was to do.)
7 Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each may take a little.
Philip answered, Two hundred denarii would not purchase bread enough to afford every one a morsel.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9 There is a lad here that has five barley loaves, and two little fishes; but what are these among so many?
Here is a boy who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
10 But Jesus said: Make die men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.
Jesus said, Make the men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So they reclined; in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks, distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who had reclined; and in like manner of the fishes, as much as they wished.
And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those who had reclined. He gave them also of the fishes, as much as they would.
12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the broken pieces which remain, that nothing be lost.
When they had eat sufficiently, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Then they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces of the five barley loaves, which remained after they had eaten.
They, therefore, gathered, and with the fragments which the people had left of the five barley loaves, they filled twelve baskets.
14 Then the men, after having seen the sign which Jesus did, said: This is, in truth, the prophet that was to come into the world.
When those men had seen the miracle which Jesus had wrought they said, This is certainly the prophet who comes into the world.
15 Therefore, Jesus perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew into the mountain himself alone.
Then Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and carry him off, to make him king, withdrew again, alone, to the mountain.
16 And when evening had come, his disciples went down to the sea,
In the evening, his disciples went to the sea,
17 and, having entered the ship, went across the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
and having embarked, were passing by sea to Capernaum. It was now dark; and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that was blowing.
And the water was raised by a tempestuous wind.
19 Then, having rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the ship; and they were afraid.
When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they observed Jesus walking on the sea, very near the bark, and were afraid.
20 But he said to them: It is I; be not afraid.
But he said to them, It is I, be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.
Then they gladly received him into the bark; and the bark was immediately at the place whither they were going.
22 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, seeing that no other boat had been there but the one which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone;
On the next day, the people who were on the seaside, knowing that there had been but one boat there, and that Jesus went not into the boat with his disciples, who went alone,
23 (but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks; )
(other boats, however, arrived from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eat, after the Lord had given thanks; )
24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they also entered the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
knowing, besides, that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, embarked, and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 And finding him on the opposite side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when didst thou come hither?
Having found him on the opposite shore, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come hither?
26 Jesus answered them, and said: Verily, verily I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.
Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw miracles, but because you eat of the loaves, and were satisfied.
27 Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father attested. (aiōnios g166)
Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures through eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for to him the Father, that is, God, has given his attestation. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they said to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
They asked him, therefore, What are the works which God requires us to do?
29 Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
Jesus answered, This is the work which God requires--that you believe on him whom he has sent forth.
30 Therefore, they said to him: What sign do you show, then, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?
They replied, What miracles, then, do you, that seeing it, we may believe you? What do you perform?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Our fathers eat the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread of heaven to eat."
32 Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Jesus then said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread of heaven: but my Father gives you the true bread of heaven:
33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life for the world.
for the bread of God is that which descends from heaven, and gives life to the world.
34 Then they said to him: Lord, evermore give us this bread.
They said, therefore, to him, Master, give us always this bread.
35 Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger; he that believes on me shall never thirst.
Jesus answered, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me, shall never hunger; and he who believes on me, shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you, that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives me, will come to me; and him that comes to me, I will by no means cast out.
All the Father gives me, will come to me; and him who comes to me, I will not reject.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
For I descended from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that he gives me, I shall lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day.
Now, this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none of all he has given me, but raise the whole again at the last day.
40 For this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
This is the will of him who sent me, that whoever recognizes the Son, and believes on him, should obtain eternal life, and that I should raise him again at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am like bread that came down from heaven.
The Jews then murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which descended from heaven:
42 And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I came down from heaven?
and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I descended from heaven!
43 Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves;
Jesus answered, Murmur not amongst yourselves:
44 no man can come to me, unless the Father, who sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
no man can come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, draw him; and him I will raise again at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hears from the Father, and learns, comes to me.
It is written in the prophets, "They shall be taught of God." Every one who has heard, and learned from the Father, comes to me.
46 Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.
Not that any man, except him who is from God, has seen the Father.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.
Your fathers eat the manna in the desert, and died.
50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
Behold the bread which descended from heaven, that whosoever eats of it may not die.
51 I am the bread that lives, which came down from heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread, which descended from heaven. Whosoever eats of this bread, shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, contended among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
The Jews then debated among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not life in you.
54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood, has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; (aiōnios g166)
He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him again at the last day: (aiōnios g166)
55 for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
for my flesh is truly meat, and my blood is truly drink.
56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.
He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I abide in him.
57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, even he shall live by me.
As the Father lives, who sent me; and I live by the Father; even so he, who feeds on me, shall live by me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which descended from heaven. It is not like what your fathers eat, for they died: he that eats this bread, shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 These things he spoke in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
This discourse he spoke in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 Therefore, many of his disciples, when they heard him, said: This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
Many of his disciples having heard it, said, This is hard doctrine; who can understand it?
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them: Does this offend you?
Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 Then, what if you should see the Son of man go up where he was before?
What if you should see the Son of Man reascending thither, where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.
It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words which I speak to you, are spirit and life.
64 But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.
But there are some of you who do not believe. (For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was that would betray him.)
65 And he said: For this reason I said to you: No one can come to me unless it be given him from my Father.
He added, Therefore, I said to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
66 After this, many of his disciples went back, and walked with him no more.
From this time, many of his disciples withdrew, and accompanied him no longer.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?
68 Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered, Master, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
69 and we believe, and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
and we believe, and know that you are the Holy One of God.
70 Jesus answered them: Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy.
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
He meant Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; for it was he who was to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
