John 6
1 After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias;
AFTER these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea 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 multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
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?
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, what he was about to do.
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would 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, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto 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 lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among 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. So the men 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 when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the 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.
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing 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.
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them 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.
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come 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.
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto 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 entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
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.
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But, he, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
But he saith unto 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.
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither 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: —
The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were 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: —
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that 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 the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him—Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
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 unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were 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)
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might 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 unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath 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 unto him, What sign shewest thou then, 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 did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from 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.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from 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 which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give 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 unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet do not believe.
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
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 giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise 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 came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that 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 Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at 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)
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: 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 then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from 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 know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
Jesus therefore answered and said unto 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 man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at 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 man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto 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 man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life: —
I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, —and not die.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, 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 came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will 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 strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his 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.
Then Jesus 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 no life in you.
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)
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; 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 meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth 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 hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by 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 that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught 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, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; 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?
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? …
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend 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 that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they 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 that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
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 man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my 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 back, and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
Then said Jesus unto 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)
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 And, we, have believed, and come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living 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 twelve, and one of you 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.
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
