John 6
1 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).
tataH paraM yIzu rgAlIl pradEzIyasya tiviriyAnAmnaH sindhOH pAraM gatavAn|
2 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.

3 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.

4 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
tasmin samaya nistArOtsavanAmni yihUdIyAnAma utsava upasthitE
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?"
yIzu rnEtrE uttOlya bahulOkAn svasamIpAgatAn vilOkya philipaM pRSTavAn EtESAM bhOjanAya bhOjadravyANi vayaM kutra krEtuM zakrumaH?
6 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.
vAkyamidaM tasya parIkSArtham avAdIt kintu yat kariSyati tat svayam ajAnAt|
7 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
zimOn pitarasya bhrAtA AndriyAkhyaH ziSyANAmEkO vyAhRtavAn
9 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"
atra kasyacid bAlakasya samIpE panjca yAvapUpAH kSudramatsyadvayanjca santi kintu lOkAnAM EtAvAtAM madhyE taiH kiM bhaviSyati?
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.
pazcAd yIzuravadat lOkAnupavEzayata tatra bahuyavasasattvAt panjcasahastrEbhyO nyUnA adhikA vA puruSA bhUmyAm upAvizan|
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.
tatO yIzustAn pUpAnAdAya Izvarasya guNAn kIrttayitvA ziSyESu samArpayat tatastE tEbhya upaviSTalOkEbhyaH pUpAn yathESTamatsyanjca prAduH|
12 When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
tESu tRptESu sa tAnavOcad EtESAM kinjcidapi yathA nApacIyatE tathA sarvvANyavaziSTAni saMgRhlIta|
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.

14 Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come 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.

16 When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
sAyaMkAla upasthitE ziSyA jaladhitaTaM vrajitvA nAvamAruhya nagaradizi sindhau vAhayitvAgaman|
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.
tasmin samayE timira upAtiSThat kintu yISustESAM samIpaM nAgacchat|
18 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
tadA prabalapavanavahanAt sAgarE mahAtaraggO bhavitum ArEbhE|
19 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
tatastE vAhayitvA dvitrAn krOzAn gatAH pazcAd yIzuM jaladhErupari padbhyAM vrajantaM naukAntikam AgacchantaM vilOkya trAsayuktA abhavan
20 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."

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.
tadA tE taM svairaM nAvi gRhItavantaH tadA tatkSaNAd uddiSTasthAnE naurupAsthAt|
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.
yayA nAvA ziSyA agacchan tadanyA kApi naukA tasmin sthAnE nAsIt tatO yIzuH ziSyaiH sAkaM nAgamat kEvalAH ziSyA agaman Etat pArasthA lOkA jnjAtavantaH|
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.
kintu tataH paraM prabhu ryatra Izvarasya guNAn anukIrttya lOkAn pUpAn abhOjayat tatsthAnasya samIpasthativiriyAyA aparAstaraNaya Agaman|
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.

25 So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
tatastE saritpatEH pArE taM sAkSAt prApya prAvOcan hE gurO bhavAn atra sthAnE kadAgamat?
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.

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)

28 "What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
tadA tE'pRcchan IzvarAbhimataM karmma karttum asmAbhiH kiM karttavyaM?
29 "This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
tatO yIzuravadad IzvarO yaM prairayat tasmin vizvasanam IzvarAbhimataM karmma|
30 "What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?

31 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven 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.

33 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
yaH svargAdavaruhya jagatE jIvanaM dadAti sa IzvaradattabhakSyarUpaH|
34 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
tadA tE prAvOcan hE prabhO bhakSyamidaM nityamasmabhyaM dadAtu|
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.

36 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.

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.

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.
nijAbhimataM sAdhayituM na hi kintu prErayiturabhimataM sAdhayituM svargAd AgatOsmi|
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.

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)
yaH kazcin mAnavasutaM vilOkya vizvasiti sa zESadinE mayOtthApitaH san anantAyuH prApsyati iti matprErakasyAbhimataM| (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.
tadA svargAd yad bhakSyam avArOhat tad bhakSyam ahamEva yihUdIyalOkAstasyaitad vAkyE vivadamAnA vakttumArEbhirE
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'?"
yUSaphaH putrO yIzu ryasya mAtApitarau vayaM jAnIma ESa kiM saEva na? tarhi svargAd avArOham iti vAkyaM kathaM vaktti?
43 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
tadA yIzustAn pratyavadat parasparaM mA vivadadhvaM
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.
matprErakENa pitrA nAkRSTaH kOpi janO mamAntikam AyAtuM na zaknOti kintvAgataM janaM caramE'hni prOtthApayiSyAmi|
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.

46 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.

48 I am the bread of Life.

49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.

50 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.

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)

52 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
tasmAd yihUdIyAH parasparaM vivadamAnA vakttumArEbhirE ESa bhOjanArthaM svIyaM palalaM katham asmabhyaM dAsyati?
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.

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)
yO mamAmiSaM svAdati mama sudhiranjca pivati sOnantAyuH prApnOti tataH zESE'hni tamaham utthApayiSyAmi| (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with 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.

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)

59 Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
yadA kapharnAhUm puryyAM bhajanagEhE upAdizat tadA kathA EtA akathayat|
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
tadEtthaM zrutvA tasya ziSyANAm anEkE parasparam akathayan idaM gAPhaM vAkyaM vAkyamIdRzaM kaH zrOtuM zakruyAt?
61 But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
kintu yIzuH ziSyANAm itthaM vivAdaM svacittE vijnjAya kathitavAn idaM vAkyaM kiM yuSmAkaM vighnaM janayati?
62 "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?
yadi manujasutaM pUrvvavAsasthAnam UrdvvaM gacchantaM pazyatha tarhi kiM bhaviSyati?
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.
Atmaiva jIvanadAyakaH vapu rniSphalaM yuSmabhyamahaM yAni vacAMsi kathayAmi tAnyAtmA jIvananjca|
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.
kintu yuSmAkaM madhyE kEcana avizvAsinaH santi kE kE na vizvasanti kO vA taM parakarESu samarpayiSyati tAn yIzurAprathamAd vEtti|
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."

66 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.

67 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
tadA yIzu rdvAdazaziSyAn ukttavAn yUyamapi kiM yAsyatha?
68 "Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
tataH zimOn pitaraH pratyavOcat hE prabhO kasyAbhyarNaM gamiSyAmaH? (aiōnios g166)
69 And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God."

70 "Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."

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.
