< 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 (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 there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;
3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,
4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.
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 having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto 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.
and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about 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, 'Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'
8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith 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 one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to 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 to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, 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 he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes 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 filled, he saith to his disciples, 'Gather together the broken pieces that are over, 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 together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having 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, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — 'This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to 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, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.
16 But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
And when evening came, 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 entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,
18 moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,
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 pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;
20 But, he, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
and he saith to them, 'I am [he], 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 then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.
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 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 went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went 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: —
(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having 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 multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, 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 on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come 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 to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;
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 )
work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.' (aiōnios )
28 They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?
They said therefore unto him, 'What may 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 may believe in him whom He did send.'
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, dost thou, that we may see and may 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 the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them 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, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the 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 that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'
34 They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
They said, therefore, unto him, 'Sir, always 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 to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;
36 But I told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet do not believe.
but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye 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 doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,
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.
because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my 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 the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may 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 )
and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.' (aiōnios )
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, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the 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 saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?'
43 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;
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 is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not 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 having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh 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 hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age-abiding. (aiōnios )
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; (aiōnios )
48 I am the bread of life: —
I am the bread of the life;
49 Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and 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 out of the heaven is coming down, that any 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 )
'I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' (aiōn )
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, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink 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 )
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios )
55 For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink:
for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain 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.
'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because 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 )
this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.' (aiōn )
59 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
These things he said in a 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, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'
61 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them—Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble?
And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?
62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? …
if then ye may behold the Son of Man going 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.
the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you 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 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,
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, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'
66 Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking.
From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,
67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to go away?'
68 Simon Peter answered him—Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age-abiding, thou hast; (aiōnios )
Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; (aiōnios )
69 And, we, have believed, and come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the 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, 'Did not I choose 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.
And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
