6After this, Jesus went across Lake Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias, as it is also called).G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G5085 2A large crowd followed him, because they had seen his miracles of healing the sick.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G770 3Jesus went up a hill and sat down with his disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G3101 4The time for the Passover Festival was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G1451 5Jesus looked around and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, so he asked Philip, "Where can we buy enough food to feed all these people?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G5315 6(He said this to test Philip; actually he already knew what he would do.)G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G4160 7Philip answered, "For everyone to have even a little, it would take more than two hundred silver coins to buy enough bread."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G1024 8Another one of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G846 9"There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But they will certainly not be enough for all these people."G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G5118 10"Make the people sit down," Jesus told them. (There was a lot of grass there.) So all the people sat down; there were about five thousand men.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G4000 11Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G2309 12When they were all full, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces left over; let us not waste a bit."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G622 13So they gathered them all and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left over from the five barley loaves which the people had eaten.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G977 14Seeing this miracle that Jesus had performed, the people there said, "Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"G3767G444G1492G4592G3739G2424G4160G3004G3754G3778G2076G230G4396G2064G1519G2889 15Jesus knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king by force; so he went off again to the hills by himself.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G3441 16When evening came, Jesus' disciples went down to the lake,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G2281 17got into a boat, and went back across the lake toward Capernaum. Night came on, and Jesus still had not come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G846 18By then a strong wind was blowing and stirring up the water.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G4154 19The disciples had rowed about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming near the boat, and they were terrified.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G5399 20"Don't be afraid," Jesus told them, "it is I!"G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G5399 21Then they willingly took him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached land at the place they were heading for.G3767G2309G2983G846G1519G4143G2532G2112G4143G1096G1909G1093G1519G3739G5217 22Next day the crowd which had stayed on the other side of the lake realized that there had been only one boat there. They knew that Jesus had not gone in it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G3441 23Other boats, which were from Tiberias, came to shore near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G2168 24When the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into those boats and went to Capernaum, looking for him.G3753G3793G3767G1492G3754G2424G2076G3756G1563G3761G846G3101G846G2532G1684G1519G4143G2532G2064G1519G2584G2212G2424 25When the people found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Teacher, when did you get here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G5602 26Jesus answered, "I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my miracles.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G5526 27Do not work for food that spoils; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G4972 28So they asked him, "What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?"G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G2316 29Jesus answered, "What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G649 30They replied, "What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G2038 31Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, just as the scripture says, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G5315 32"I am telling you the truth," Jesus said. "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G3772 33For the bread that God gives is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G2889 34"Sir," they asked him, "give us this bread always."G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G740 35"I am the bread of life," Jesus told them. "Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G1372 36Now, I told you that you have seen me but will not believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G3756 37Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G1854 38because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G3165 39And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G2250 40For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day."G1161G5124G2076G2307G3992G3165G2443G3956G3588G2334G5207G2532G4100G1519G846G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 41The people started grumbling about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G3772 42So they said, "This man is Jesus son of Joseph, isn't he? We know his father and mother. How, then, does he now say he came down from heaven?"G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2424G5207G2501G3739G3962G2532G3384G2249G1492G4459G3767G3778G3004G3754G2597G1537G3772 43Jesus answered, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G240 44People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 45The prophets wrote, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me.G2076G1125G1722G4396G2532G2071G3956G1318G2316G3956G3767G191G2532G3129G3844G3962G2064G4314G3165 46This does not mean that anyone has seen the Father; he who is from God is the only one who has seen the Father.G3756G3754G5100G3708G3962G1508G3588G3844G5607G2316G3778G3708G3962 47I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2192G166G2222 48I am the bread of life.G1473G1510G740G2222 49Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died.G5216G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2532G599 50But the bread that comes down from heaven is of such a kind that whoever eats it will not die.G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3363G5100G5315G1537G846G2532G3363G599 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If you eat this bread, you will live forever. The bread that I will give you is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live."G1473G1510G2198G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G1437G5100G5315G1537G5127G740G2198G1519G165G1161G2532G740G3739G1473G1325G2076G3450G4561G3739G1473G1325G5228G2222G2889 52This started an angry argument among them. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" they asked.G2453G3767G3164G4314G240G3004G4459G1410G3778G1325G2254G4561G5315 53Jesus said to them, "I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3362G5315G4561G5207G444G2532G4095G846G129G2192G3756G2222G1722G1438 54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 55For my flesh is the real food; my blood is the real drink.G1063G3450G4561G2076G1035G230G2532G3450G129G2076G4213G230 56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G846 57The living Father sent me, and because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me.G2531G2198G3962G649G3165G2504G2198G1223G3962G2532G5176G3165G2548G2198G1223G1691 58This, then, is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread that your ancestors ate, but then later died. Those who eat this bread will live forever."G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3756G2531G5216G3962G5315G3131G2532G599G5176G5126G740G2198G1519G165 59Jesus said this as he taught in the synagogue in Capernaum.G5023G2036G1722G4864G1321G1722G2584 60Many of his followers heard this and said, "This teaching is too hard. Who can listen to it?"G4183G3767G1537G846G3101G191G2036G3778G2076G4642G3056G5101G1410G191G846 61Without being told, Jesus knew that they were grumbling about this, so he said to them, "Does this make you want to give up?G1161G2424G1492G1722G1438G3754G846G3101G1111G4012G5127G2036G846G5124G4624G5209 62Suppose, then, that you should see the Son of Man go back up to the place where he was before?G3767G1437G2334G5207G444G305G3699G2258G4386 63What gives life is God's Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit.G2076G4151G2227G4561G3756G5623G3762G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2076G4151G2532G2076G2222 64Yet some of you do not believe." (Jesus knew from the very beginning who were the ones that would not believe and which one would betray him.)G235G1526G5100G1537G5216G3739G4100G3756G1063G2424G1492G1537G746G5101G1526G4100G3361G2532G5101G2076G3860G846 65And he added, "This is the very reason I told you that no people can come to me unless the Father makes it possible for them to do so."G2532G3004G1223G5124G2046G5213G3754G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G3450G3962 66Because of this, many of Jesus' followers turned back and would not go with him any more.G1537G5127G4183G846G3101G565G1519G3694G2532G4043G3765G3326G846 67So he asked the twelve disciples, "And you - -would you also like to leave?"G3767G2036G2424G1427G3361G2309G5210G2532G5217 68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.G3767G4613G4074G611G846G2962G4314G5101G565G2192G4487G166G2222 69And now we believe and know that you are the Holy One who has come from God."G2532G2249G4100G2532G1097G3754G4771G1488G5547G5207G2198G2316 70Jesus replied, "I chose the twelve of you, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil!"G2424G611G846G1586G3756G1473G1586G5209G1427G2532G1520G1537G5216G2076G1228 71He was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For Judas, even though he was one of the twelve disciples, was going to betray him.G1161G3004G2455G2469G4613G1063G3778G3195G3860G846G5607G1520G1537G1427
