John 6
1 After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, 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 had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.
A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.
3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.
4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,
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?
he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6 But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, 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 denaries-worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little.
"Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."
8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said 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 lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that 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.
"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 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.
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 well-filled, he saith unto his disciples—Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing 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 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.
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 people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say—This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come 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, 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 perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.
16 But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
When evening came on, 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;
There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,
18 moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was 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.
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 But, he, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
but he said 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.
Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
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 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 howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had 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, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus;
when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him—Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
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—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. "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 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)
"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 They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working 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 unto them—This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.
"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."
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?
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, did eat, the manna, in the desert, —just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them to eat.
"Our fathers ate 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.
"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 that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world.
"for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
"Ah, Sir," said they, "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.
"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 told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet do not believe.
"But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you 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, —
"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 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 to do my own will, but the will of him who 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 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 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 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, began to murmur concerning 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 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?
"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, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
"Do not find fault with me 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.
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 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 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 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 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, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died.
50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, —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, 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 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, began to strive one with another, saying—How can this one, unto us, give 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 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.
"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 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 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, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink:
"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
"He who feeds upon my flesh abides 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.
"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, 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 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 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 Many, of his disciples, therefore, when they heard, said—Hard, is this discourse, —Who can, thereunto, hearken?
So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"
61 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them—Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble?
Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.
62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending 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 The spirit, it is, that giveth life, —the flesh, profiteth, nothing: The declarations which, I, have spoken unto you, are, spirit, and, 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 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; —
"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 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.
So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."
66 Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking.
Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, do you?"
68 Simon Peter answered him—Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age-abiding, thou hast; (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 come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
"and we have learned to believe and we know that you are 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.
In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."
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 Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.
