Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may 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 would 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, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”

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,
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.

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.

14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world”;
When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes 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, 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 evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

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 boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
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 next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but 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),
However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the 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 the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats 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?”
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

28 Therefore they said to Him, “What may 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 answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you may believe in Him whom He sent.”
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in 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 then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
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, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

36 but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t 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 those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw 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 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 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;
This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

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 concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”

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;

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;

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (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 with one another, 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;
Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have 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 who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives 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 sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.

60 many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; 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 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 murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
62 If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
Then what if you would see 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;
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 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 don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would 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.”
He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
66 From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, 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 him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the 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.”
We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you 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 Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
