John 6
1 After these things Jesus went beyond the Sea of Galilee, of Tiberias.
After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw the miracles He was doing in behalf of the sick.
A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were sick.
3 And Jesus came into the mountain; and was sitting there with His disciples.
Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Now the Passover, the Jewish festival, was near.
5 Therefore Jesus lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to Him, He says to Philip, Whence can we purchase bread, that these may eat?
Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"
6 He spoke this testing him; for He knew what He was about to do.
This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip responded to Him, The loaves of two hundred denaria are not sufficient for these, that each one may receive a little.
Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."
8 And one of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Peter, says to Him,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9 There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
10 And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. And there was much grass in the place. However the men sat down in number about five thousand.
Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the bread; and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples to the people sitting down; and likewise also of the fishes so much as they wished.
Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, Gather up the remaining fragments, that nothing may be lost.
When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."
13 Then they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets from the live barley loaves, which remained to those having eaten.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 Then the people, seeing the miracle which Jesus did, were saying, that, This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.
When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world."
15 And Jesus knowing that they are about to come and take Him, that they may make Him king, departs again into the mountain Himself alone.
Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16 And when it was evening, His disciples went down to the sea;
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 and embarking in the ship, they were going to the other side of the sea into Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them;
and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18 and the sea wrought, a great wind blowing.
The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
19 Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and being near the ship; and were terrified.
When therefore they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
20 And He says to them, I am here; fear not.
But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
21 Then they wished to receive Him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
22 On the following day the multitude standing beyond the sea saw that there was no other ship there, except one, and that Jesus did not go along with His disciples into the ship, but His disciples went away alone
On the next day, the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
23 (other ships came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks).
Other boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 And when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they went into ships, and came into Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 And having found Him beyond the sea, they said to Him, Master, when did you come hither?
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
26 Jesus responded to them and said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, You seek me not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labor not for the food that perishes, but the food that abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man gives to you: for this God the Father hath sealed. (aiōnios g166)
Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him." (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they said to Him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"
29 Jesus responded and said to them, This is the work of God, that you may believe on Him whom He hath sent.
Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
30 Then they said to Him, Then what miracle do you perform, that we may see, and believe you, what you may do?
They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness; as has been written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"
32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
33 For the bread of God is the One coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world.
For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 Then they said to Him, Lord, evermore give to us this bread.
They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."
35 Then Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one coming unto me can never hunger, and the one believing on me shall never thirst.
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 But I said unto you, That you have seen, and you do not believe.
But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
37 Everything which the Father giveth unto me shall come to me; and him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
38 Because I have come down from heaven, not that I may do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of the One having sent me, that everything that the Father has given unto me I shall lose nothing of it, but I shall raise it up in the last day.
This is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one seeing the Son, and believing on Him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
This is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." (aiōnios g166)
41 Then the Jews were murmuring concerning Him, because He said, I am the bread having come down from heaven,
The Jewish people therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."
42 and they continued to say, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how does He now say; I have come down from heaven?
They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"
43 Jesus responded and said to them, Murmur not with one another.
Therefore Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.
44 No one is able to come unto me, unless the Father who sent me may draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, They shall all be taught of God; every one hearing and learning from the Father, comes to me.
It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.
46 No one has seen the Father, except the One who is with God, He hath seen God.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has everlasting 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 ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50 this is the bread coming down from heaven, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread, having come down from heaven; if any one may eat of me the bread, he will live forever: and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews were contending with one another, saying, How is this One able to give unto us His flesh to eat?
The Jews therefore argued with one another, saying, "How can this one give us flesh to eat?"
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless you may eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.
54 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood abides in me, and I in him.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father; truly the one eating me, shall also live through me.
As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.
58 He is the bread having come down from heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died: the one eating this bread shall live forever. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as the fathers ate, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever." (aiōn g165)
59 And He spoke these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Then many of His disciples, hearing, said, This is a hard sermon; who is able to hear it?
Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?"
61 And Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples are murmuring concerning it, said to them, Does this offend you?
But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
62 If then you may see the Son of man ascending up, where He was formerly?
Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 The Spirit is the One who creates life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and life.
It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
64 But there are certain ones of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning that there are certain ones not believing, and there is one going to betray Him.
But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.
65 And He said, Therefore I have said unto you, that no one is able to come unto me, unless it may have been given unto him of the Father.
He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father."
66 Moreover from this many of His disciples went back, and walked with Him no more.
At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also wish to go away?
Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You do not also want to go away, do you?"
68 Simon Peter responded to Him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
69 we have believed and we know that thou art the Holy One of God.
We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
70 Jesus responded to them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is devilish?
Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
71 But He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for he was going to betray Him, being one of the twelve.
Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
