John 6
1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
After this Jesus went away across the Sea of Galilee (that is the lake of Tiberias).
2 and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;
A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.
3 and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,
Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.
4 and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.
Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,
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?”
he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6 And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended 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”;
"Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."
8 one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said 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 lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among 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,
"Make the men sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so the men sat down, in numbers about five thousand. "of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;
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.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,
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 were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."
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.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves - the broken pieces that were left after they 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”;
So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come 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.
When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.
16 And when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
When evening came on, 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,
There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,
18 the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,
Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was 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;
After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;
20 and He says to them, “I AM; do not be afraid”;
but he said 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.
Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
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
The crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves.
23 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the LORD having given thanks),
So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,
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 they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get 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. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were 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)
"Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life - that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father - God - has set his seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do that we may work the works of God?”
"What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you may believe in Him whom He sent.”
"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign, then, do You do, that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing?
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 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;
"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give 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 what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 Therefore they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
"Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give 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;
"I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.
36 but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
"But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you 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,
"Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.
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 to do my own will, but the will of him who 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 who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at 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 my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. 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”;
Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.
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?”
"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?"
43 Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, “Do not murmur with one another;
"Do not find fault with me 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;
answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on 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 all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from 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 the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
"I tell you solemnly that he who believes 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 they died;
"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they 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 that comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and never 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 myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given 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?”
Then the Jews began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his 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;
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
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 who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink;
"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
"He who feeds upon my flesh abides 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;
"Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by 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 came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever." (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to hear it?”
So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"
61 And Jesus having known in Himself that His disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this stumble you?
Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.
62 If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
"Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to 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;
"The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to 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,
"Yet 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 should betray him.
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.”
So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."
66 From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, do you?"
68 Simon Peter, therefore, answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have sayings of continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life; (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 learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."
71 And He spoke of Judas, [son] of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to deliver Him up, being one of the Twelve.
Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.
