< John 6 >

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,
2 and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;
and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:
4 and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.
but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 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?”
Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?
6 And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little”;
Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].
8 one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
9 “There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?”
There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
10 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,
[And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 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.
And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.
12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the broken pieces that are left over, that nothing may be lost”;
And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.
13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.
14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world”;
The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.
15 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.
Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.
16 And when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 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,
and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,
18 the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,
and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
19 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;
Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.
20 and He says to them, “I AM; do not be afraid”;
But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.
21 they were willing then to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
22 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
On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his disciples had gone away alone;
23 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the LORD having given thanks),
(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks; )
24 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;
when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?
26 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;
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.
27 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)
Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God. (aiōnios g166)
28 Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do that we may work the works of God?”
They said therefore to him, What should 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 may believe in Him whom He sent.”
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he has sent.
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign, then, do You do, that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, according as it is having been written: He gave them bread out of 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 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;
Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, [It is] not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
33 for the bread of God is Him coming down out of Heaven, and giving life to the world.”
For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
34 Therefore they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.
35 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;
[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 at any time.
36 but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.
37 all that the Father gives to Me will come to Me; and him who is coming to Me, I will never cast outside,
All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.
38 because I have come down out of Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do my will, but the will of him that has sent me.
39 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;
And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.
40 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)
For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at Him, because He said, “I AM the bread that came down out of Heaven”;
The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.
42 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?”
And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?
43 Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, “Do not murmur with one another;
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 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;
No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 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;
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and has learned [of him], comes to me;
46 not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.
not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me has continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal. (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 they died;
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50 this is the bread that is coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it, and not die.
This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51 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)
I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us [His] flesh to eat?”
The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?
53 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;
Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
54 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)
He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day: (aiōnios g166)
55 for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink;
for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.
56 he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.
57 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;
As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, he also who eats me shall live also on account of me.
58 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)
This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to hear it?”
Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?
61 And Jesus having known in Himself that His disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this stumble you?
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?
63 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;
It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.
64 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,
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 would deliver him up.
65 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.”
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.
66 From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Simon Peter, therefore, answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have sayings of continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast words of life eternal; (aiōnios g166)
69 and we have believed, and we have known, that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.
71 And He spoke of Judas, [son] of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to deliver Him up, being one of the Twelve.
Now he spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon, Iscariote, for he [it was who] should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
