< John 6 >

1 After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, 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 had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.
and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:
4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 So then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him, saith unto Philip—Whence are we to 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 But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, 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 denaries-worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little.
Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].
8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
9 There is a little lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes, —but, these, —what are they, for such numbers?
There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
10 Jesus said—Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, to the number of about 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 Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing.
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 well-filled, he saith unto his disciples—Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing 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 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves, —which were left over by them who 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 The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say—This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was 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 Jesus, therefore, getting to know that they were about to come, and seize him, that they might make him king, retired again into 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 But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 and, entering into a boat, were going across the sea into Capernaum. And, dark, already, had it become, and, not yet, had Jesus reached 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 moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
19 Having therefore rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they observe Jesus, walking upon the sea, and, near the boat, coming; and they were affrighted.
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, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.
21 They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly 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 morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was not, another small-boat, there, save one, —and that Jesus entered not, along with his disciples, unto the boat, but that, alone, his disciples departed: —
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 howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had 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, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto 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, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him—Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
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—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye 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 have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.
27 Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, —which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, 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 They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working 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 unto them—This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he has sent.
30 They said, therefore, unto him—What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working?
They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers, did eat, the manna, in the desert, —just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them 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 said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Not Moses, gave you the bread out of heaven; but, my Father, giveth you the real 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 that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world.
For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
34 They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.
35 Jesus said unto them—I, am the bread of life: he that cometh unto me, in nowise shall hunger, and, he that believeth on me, in nowise shall thirst, any more.
[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 told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet do not believe.
But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.
37 All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, —
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 from heaven, —Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that 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 him that sent me, That, of all that which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at 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 For, this, is the will of my Father, That, every one that vieweth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life age-abiding, and, I, should raise him up, at 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, began to murmur concerning 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 were saying—Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, —of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?
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, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, 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 written in the prophets, —And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto 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 any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God, —this one, hath seen the Father.
not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age-abiding. (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, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, —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, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age-abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh—for the world’s life. (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, began to strive one with another, saying—How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?
The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?
53 Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you—Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have not life within 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 that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age-abiding, and, I, will raise him up at 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, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink:
for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.
56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent me, —and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason 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, which, out of heaven, came down: —Not just as your fathers did eat—and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age-abiding. (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 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 Many, of his disciples, therefore, when they heard, said—Hard, is this discourse, —Who can, thereunto, hearken?
Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?
61 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them—Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble?
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? …
If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?
63 The spirit, it is, that giveth life, —the flesh, profiteth, nothing: The declarations which, I, have spoken unto you, are, spirit, and, 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 some from among you, who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who it was would 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 went on to say—For this cause, have I said unto you: No one, can come unto me, except it have been given him, of 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 Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking.
From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Simon Peter answered him—Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age-abiding, thou hast; (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 come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.
70 Jesus answered them—Did not, I, make choice, of you, the twelve? And yet, from among you, one, is, an adversary.
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.
71 Now he was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot: for, the same, was about to deliver him up, —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.
