John 6
1 After this Jesus went away across the Sea of Galilee (that is the lake of Tiberias).
After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,
2 A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.
and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:
4 Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,
but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to 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 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended to do.
But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.
7 "Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."
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, said to him.
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
9 "There is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among 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 "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;
[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 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,
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 satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."
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 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.
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 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."
The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.
15 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.
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 When evening came on, his disciples went down to the sea.
But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,
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 Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing.
and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
19 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;
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 but he said to them, "It is I, be not afraid."
But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.
21 Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
22 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.
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 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,
(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks; )
24 when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for 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 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?
26 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.
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 "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)
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 "What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"
They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God?
29 "This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he has sent.
30 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?
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 manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’"

32 "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;
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 what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

34 "Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread."
They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.
35 "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.
[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 as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.
37 "Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.
All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.
38 "For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own 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.

41 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.
The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.
42 "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’?"
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 "Do not find fault with me among yourselves,"
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 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.
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.

52 Then the Jews began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?
53 "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.

59 He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"
Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?
61 Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 "Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?
63 "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 "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.
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 So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the 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 Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.
From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.
67 So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, do you?"
Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal 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 learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."
and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.
70 In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.
71 Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was 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.
