John 6
1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he says to Philip, From where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, 'Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' —
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Philip answered him, 'Two hundred denaries' 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, says to him,
one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him,
9 There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
'There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?'
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
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 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, 'Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that 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 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — 'This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down to the sea,
And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come 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 unto them,
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid.
having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;
20 But he says to them, It is I; be not afraid.
and he saith to them, 'I am [he], be not afraid;'
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land where they went.
they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one into where his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
On the morrow, 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 went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,
23 (However, there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks: )
(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when came you here?
and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'
26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;
27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him has God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.' (aiōnios g166)
28 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?'
29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'
30 They said therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?
They said therefore to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'
32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;
33 For the bread of God is he which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.
for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'
34 Then said they to him, Lord, ever more give us this bread.
They said, therefore, unto him, 'Sir, always give us this bread.'
35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;
36 But I said to you, That you also have seen me, and believe not.
but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;
37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.' (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?
and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?'
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
no one is able to come unto 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 shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me.
it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;
46 Not that any man has seen the Father, save he which is of God, he has seen the Father.
not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
48 I am that bread of life.
I am the bread of the life;
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;
50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: 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 that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to 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 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, 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 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye 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, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I 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.
'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Does this offend you?
And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?
62 What and if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that vivifies; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should 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 And he said, Therefore said I to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him of my Father.
and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,
67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?
Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to go away?'
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
69 And we believe and are sure that you are that Christ, the Son of the living God.
and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Jesus answered them, 'Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
