John 6

1 After these things Jesus went away, beyond the sea of Galilee, which of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude was following Him, because they were beholding the signs which He was doing on the sick. 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Jesus, therefore, lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to Him, saith to Philip, 6 And this He said, proving him; for He Himself knew what He was about to do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denaries worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each one may take a little." 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to Him, 9 “There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but what are these among so many?" 10 Jesus said, Now there was much grass in the place. The men, therefore, reclined, in number about five thousand. 11 Jesus, therefore, took the loaves; and, having given thanks, He distributed to those reclining; and likewise of the fishes as much as they wished. 12 And, when they were filled, He saith to His disciples, 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over to those who had eaten. 14 The men, therefore, seeing the sign that He did, said, “This, truly, is the Prophet Who cometh into the world." 15 Jesus, therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take Him by force, to make Him King, withdrew again into the mountain, Himself alone. 16 And, when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea; 17 and, entering into a boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum; and it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And, a strong wind blowing, the sea was being much raised. 19 Having rowed, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. 20 But He saith to them, 21 They were willing, therefore, to receive Him into the boat; and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. 22 On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus, entered not with His disciples into the boat, but His disciples went away alone 23 (yet there came boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks): 24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 And, having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when camest Thou hither?" 26 Jesus answered them and said, 28 They said, therefore, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" 29 Jesus answered, and said to them, 30 They said, therefore, to Him, “What sign doest Thou, then, that we may see, and believe Thee? What doest Thou? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.’" 32 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 34 They said, therefore, to Him, “Lord, evermore give us this bread." 35 Jesus said to them, 41 The Jews, therefore, were murmuring concerning Him, because He said, 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? How doth He now say, 43 Jesus answered, and said to them, 52 The Jews, therefore, were wrangling with one another, saying, “How can This Man give us His flesh to eat?" 53 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 59 These things He said in the synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum. 60 Many, therefore, of His disciples, having heard , said, “This is a hard saying! Who can hear it?" 61 But Jesus, knowing in Himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them, 62 , then, if ye behold the Son of Man ascending where He was before?} 64 For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that believed not, and who it was that would betray Him. 65 And He said, 66 From this many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. 67 Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 68 Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and know, that Thou art the Holy One of God." 70 Jesus answered them, 71 But He was speaking of Judas, of Simon Iscariot; for he was about to betray Him, one of the twelve.
