John 6
1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;
3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,
4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
Jesus then having lifted up [His] eyes and having seen that a great multitude comes to Him, says to Philip, “From where will we buy loaves, that these may eat?”
6 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little”;
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,
9 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
“There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?”
10 “Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
And Jesus said, “Make the men to sit down”; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,
11 Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed [them] to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
12 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the broken pieces that are left over, that nothing may be lost”;
13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world”;
15 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to seize Him by force that they may make Him king, retired again to the mountain Himself alone.
16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
And when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come to them,
18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
having pushed onward, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid;
20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
and He says to them, “I AM; do not be afraid”;
21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
they were willing then to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
22 The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.
On the next day, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one—that into which His disciples entered—and that Jesus did not go in with His disciples into the little boat, but His disciples went away alone
23 However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
(and other little boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the LORD having given thanks),
24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.
when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor His disciples, they also entered into the boats themselves, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;
25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
26 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied;
27 Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” (aiōnios g166)
do not work for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to continuous life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for the Father sealed Him—[even] God.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you may believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
Therefore they said to Him, “What sign, then, do You do, that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, according as it is having been written: He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.”
32 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven;
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
for the bread of God is Him coming down out of Heaven, and giving life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
Therefore they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
And Jesus said to them, “I AM the bread of life; he who is coming to Me may not hunger, and he who is believing in Me may not thirst—at any time;
36 But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
all that the Father gives to Me will come to Me; and him who is coming to Me, I will never cast outside,
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
because I have come down out of Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.
And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that all that He has given to Me, I may lose none of it, but may raise it up in the last day;
40 For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
and this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who is beholding the Son, and is believing in Him, may have continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at Him, because He said, “I AM the bread that came down out of Heaven”;
42 They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”
and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? How then does this One say, I have come down out of Heaven?”
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, “Do not murmur with one another;
44 “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
no one is able to come to Me if the Father who sent Me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;
45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
it is having been written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught of God; everyone, therefore, who heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me;
46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me has continuous 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, yet they died.
your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died;
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
this is the bread that is coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it, and not die.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” (aiōn g165)
I AM the living bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone may eat of this bread he will live—throughout the age; and the bread also that I will give is My flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
52 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us [His] flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if you may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves;
54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, has continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios g166)
55 For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink;
56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
According as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating Me, even that one will live because of Me;
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
this is the bread that came down out of Heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread will live—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
59 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to hear it?”
61 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
And Jesus having known in Himself that His disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this stumble you?
62 Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
It is the Spirit that is giving life; the flesh does not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
64 However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)
but there are certain of you who do not believe”; for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver Him up,
65 Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
and He said, “Because of this I have said to you, No one is able to come to Me if it may not have been given him from My Father.”
66 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter, therefore, answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have sayings of continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
and we have believed, and we have known, that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
71 He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
And He spoke of Judas, [son] of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to deliver Him up, being one of the Twelve.
