John 6
Joh 6:1 After these
things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee,
which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
Joh 6:2 A great
multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on
those who were sick.
Joh 6:3 Jesus went up
into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
Joh 6:4 Now the
Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Joh 6:5 Jesus therefore
lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to
him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may
eat?"
Joh 6:6 This he said to
test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Joh 6:7 Philip answered
him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for
them, that everyone of them may receive a little."
Joh 6:8 One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
Joh 6:9 "There is
a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are
these among so many?"
Joh 6:10 Jesus said,
"Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in
that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Joh 6:11 Jesus took the
loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and
the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the
fish as much as they desired.
Joh 6:12 When they were
filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces
which are left over, that nothing be lost."
Joh 6:13 So they
gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from
the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
Joh 6:14 When therefore
the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is
truly the prophet who comes into the world."
Joh 6:15 Jesus
therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by
force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Joh 6:16 When evening
came, his disciples went down to the sea,
Joh 6:17 and they
entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It
was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
Joh 6:18 The sea was
tossed by a great wind blowing.
Joh 6:19 When therefore
they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus
walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were
afraid.
Joh 6:20 But he said to
them, "It is I. Don't be afraid."
Joh 6:21 They were
willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat
was at the land where they were going.
Joh 6:22 On the next
day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that
there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples
had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into
the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
Joh 6:23 However boats
from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after
the Lord had given thanks.
Joh 6:24 When the
multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples,
they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking
Jesus.
Joh 6:25 When they
found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi,
when did you come here?"
Joh 6:26 Jesus answered
them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you
saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Joh 6:27 Don't work for
the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal
life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has
sealed him."
Joh 6:28 They said
therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works
of God?"
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered
them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he
has sent."
Joh 6:30 They said
therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may
see, and believe you? What work do you do?
Joh 6:31 Our fathers
ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them
bread out of heaven to eat.' "
Joh 6:32 Jesus
therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't
Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you
the true bread out of heaven.
Joh 6:33 For the bread
of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the
world."
Joh 6:34 They said
therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."
Joh 6:35 Jesus said to
them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be
hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
Joh 6:36 But I told you
that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.
Joh 6:37 All those who
the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no
way throw out.
Joh 6:38 For I have
come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who
sent me.
Joh 6:39 This is the
will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I
should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:40 This is the
will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and
believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at
the last day."
Joh 6:41 The Jews
therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the
bread which came down out of heaven."
Joh 6:42 They said,
"Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we
know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?' "
Joh 6:43 Therefore
Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.
Joh 6:44 No one can
come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise
him up in the last day.
Joh 6:45 It is written
in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone
who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.
Joh 6:46 Not that
anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen
the Father.
Joh 6:47 Most
certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
Joh 6:48 I am the bread
of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers
ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
Joh 6:50 This is the
bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and
not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the
living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this
bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the
life of the world is my flesh."
Joh 6:52 The Jews
therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man
give us his flesh to eat?"
Joh 6:53 Jesus
therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you
eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have
life in yourselves.
Joh 6:54 He who eats my
flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up
at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh
is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He who eats my
flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
Joh 6:57 As the living
Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on
me, he will also live because of me.
Joh 6:58 This is the
bread which came down out of heaven-not as our fathers ate the manna,
and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
Joh 6:59 He said these
things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Joh 6:60 Therefore many
of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard
saying! Who can listen to it?"
Joh 6:61 But Jesus
knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them,
"Does this cause you to stumble?
Joh 6:62 Then what if
you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
Joh 6:63 It is the
spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I
speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are
some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would
betray him.
Joh 6:65 He said, "For
this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it
is given to him by my Father."
Joh 6:66 At this, many
of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Joh 6:67 Jesus said
therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do
you?"
Joh 6:68 Simon Peter
answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of
eternal life.
Joh 6:69 We have come
to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living
God."
Joh 6:70 Jesus answered
them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a
devil?"
Joh 6:71 Now he spoke
of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray
him, being one of the twelve.
