John 6
1 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).
AFTER these Jeshu went over the Sea of Galila of Tiberios,
2 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.
and great multitudes went after him, because they had seen the signs which he wrought on the diseased.
3 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
And Jeshu ascended a mountain, and there sat with his disciples.
4 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
Now the feast of the petscha of the Jihudoyee drew nigh.
5 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?"
And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.
But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do.
7 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."
Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take.
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha,
9 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"
There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all?
10 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
Jeshu saith to them, Make all the men recline; for there was much herbage in that place. And the men reclined, in number five thousand.
11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
And Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and divided unto those who reclined, and likewise also of the fishes, as much as they willed.
12 When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that abound, that nothing be lost;
13 Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.
and they gathered and filled twelve baskets of fragments, those which abounded unto them who had eaten of the five loaves of barley.
14 Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."
But those men, when they had seen the sign which Jeshu had wrought, said, Truly this is the Prophet that cometh into the world.
15 Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.
But when Jeshu knew that they were about to come to seize him and make him the King, he passed away to a mountain alone.
16 When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
AND when it was eventide, his disciples went down to the sea.
17 There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
And they sat in a vessel, and went over for Kapher-nachum. And it was dark, and Jeshu had not come to them.
18 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
But the sea had risen against them, because a great wind blew.
19 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
And they had led stadia twentyfive or thirty, and they saw Jeshu walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the vessel; and they feared.
20 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."
But Jeshu himself said to them, I am, fear not.
21 Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
And they willed to receive him into the vessel, and soon that vessel was at that land to which they were going.
22 Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
The day after the people that stood on the opposite shore of the sea saw that there was not another vessel there except that into which the disciples had ascended, and that Jeshu had not entered with his disciples into the vessel;
23 Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
but there came other boats from Tiberios near the place, where they did eat bread when Jeshu had blessed.
24 When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
And when that company saw that Jeshu was not there nor his disciples, they ascended into those boats, and came to Kapher-nachum. And they sought Jeshu;
25 So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
and when they had found him on the opposite side of the sea, they say to him, Raban, when camest thou hither?
26 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, You seek me, not because you considered the signs, but because you did eat the bread, and were satisfied.
27 Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." (aiōnios g166)
Work not (for) the food which perisheth, but (for) the food that endureth unto the life that is eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you: for this hath the Father sealed, (even) Aloha. (aiōnios g166)
28 "What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
They say to him, What shall we do that we may work the works of Aloha?
29 "This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
Jeshu answered and said to them, This is the work of Aloha, that you believe in Him whom he hath sent.
30 "What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?
THEY say to him, What sign doest thou that we may see, and believe in thee? What performest thou?
31 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
Our fathers manna did eat in the desert, as it is written, that bread from heaven be gave them to eat.
32 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, That Musha gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven:
33 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
for the bread of Aloha is He who hath descended from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
They say to him, Our Lord, at all time give us this bread.
35 "I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
Jeshu saith to them, I am the bread of life: he who cometh to me shall not hunger, and he who believeth in me shall not thirst, for ever.
36 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
But I have told you that you have seen me, and have not believed.
37 Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
Every one whom the Father hath given me, unto me will come; and him who unto me shall come, I will not cast out.
38 For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
I descended from heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of Him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.
But this is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all whom he hath given me I shall lose not of him, but shall raise him at the last day.
40 For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." (aiōnios g166)
For this is the will of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son and believeth on him, shall have the life that is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
But the Jihudoyee murmured against him because he said, I am the bread which hath descended from heaven.
42 They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"
And they said, Is not this Jeshu bar Jauseph, he whose father and mother we know? and how saith this, From heaven I have descended?
43 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
Jeshu answered and said to them, Murmur not one with another.
44 "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.
No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me shall attract him, and I will raise him at the last day.
45 It stands written in the Prophets, 'And they shall all of them be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.
It is written in the prophet, that they shall be all taught of Aloha: every one, therefore, who hath heard from the Father and learned of him, cometh unto me.
46 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.
There is no man who hath seen the Father, but he who is from Aloha, he hath seen the Father.
AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever believeth in me hath the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of Life.
I am the bread of life.
49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.
Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead:
50 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.
but this is the bread which hath descended from heaven, that man may eat of it, and die not.
51 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world." (aiōn g165)
I am the bread of life that from heaven hath descended; and if man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my body, which for the life of the world I give. (aiōn g165)
52 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
The Jihudoyee contended one with another, saying, How can this his body give to us to eat?
53 "In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
And Jeshu said to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, That unless you eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
He who eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, hath the life which is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
For my body is truly food, and my blood is truly drink.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.
He who eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.
57 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
As the Father the Living (one) who hath sent me, and I live by the Father, even so he who shall eat me, shall live, too, by me.
58 This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever." (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which hath descended from heaven. Not as was the manna that your fathers ate, and are dead; he who eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Kapher-nachum.
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
And many of his disciples who heard said, A hard word is this: who can hear it?
61 But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
BUT Jeshu knew in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this; and he said to them, Does this stumble you?
62 "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?
If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first?
63 It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
It is the Spirit that maketh alive, the body profiteth nothing: the words which I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jeshu knew from the first who they were who believed not, and who it was who would betray him.
65 So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
And he said to them, On account of this I told you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him of my Father.
66 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
On account of this word many of his disciples went back, and walked not with him.
67 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
Jeshu said to the twelve, Do you also will to go?
68 "Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Shemun Kipha answered and said, My Lord, unto whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
69 And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God."
and we believe and know that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living.
70 "Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."
Jeshu saith to them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and from you one is Satana?
71 He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.
He spake concerning Jihuda bar Shemun Scarjuta; for he it was who would betray him, one from the twelve.
