John 6

1 after these things jesus went over the sea of galilee, which is the sea of tiberias 2 and a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased 3 and jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples 4 and the passover, a feast of the jews, was nigh 5 when jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto philip, whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 and this he said to prove him for he himself knew what he would do 7 philip answered him, two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little 8 one of his disciples, andrew, simon peter's brother, saith unto him, 9 there is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes but what are they among so many? 10 and jesus said, make the men sit down now there was much grass in the place so the men sat down, in number about five thousand 11 and jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would 12 when they were filled, he said unto his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost 13 therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten 14 then those men, when they had seen the miracle that jesus did, said, this is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world 15 when jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone 16 and when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 17 and entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward capernaum and it was now dark, and jesus was not come to them 18 and the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew 19 so when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship and they were afraid 20 but he saith unto them, it is i; be not afraid 21 then they willingly received him into the ship and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went 22 the day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (howbeit there came other boats from tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the lord had given thanks ) 24 when the people therefore saw that jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to capernaum, seeking for jesus 25 and when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 jesus answered them and said, verily, verily, i say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled 27 labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the son of man shall give unto you for him hath god the father sealed 28 then said they unto him, what shall we do, that we might work the works of god? 29 jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of god, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent 30 they said therefore unto him, what sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat 32 then jesus said unto them, verily, verily, i say unto you, moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my father giveth you the true bread from heaven 33 for the bread of god is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world 34 then said they unto him, lord, evermore give us this bread 35 and jesus said unto them, i am the bread of life he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst 36 but i said unto you, that ye also have seen me, and believe not 37 all that the father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me i will in no wise cast out 38 for i came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me 39 and this is the father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me i should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day 40 and this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life and i will raise him up at the last day 41 the jews then murmured at him, because he said, i am the bread which came down from heaven 42 and they said, is not this jesus, the son of joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, i came down from heaven? 43 jesus therefore answered and said unto them, murmur not among yourselves 44 no man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me draw him and i will raise him up at the last day 45 it is written in the prophets, and they shall be all taught of god every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh unto me 46 not that any man hath seen the father, save he which is of god, he hath seen the father 47 verily, verily, i say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life 48 i am that bread of life 49 your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead 50 this is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die 51 i am the living bread which came down from heaven if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever and the bread that i will give is my flesh, which i will give for the life of the world 52 the jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, how can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 then jesus said unto them, verily, verily, i say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you 54 whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and i will raise him up at the last day 55 for my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed 56 he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and i in him 57 as the living father hath sent me, and i live by the father so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me 58 this is that bread which came down from heaven not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever 59 these things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in capernaum 60 many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this , said, this is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 when jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, doth this offend you? 62 what and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing the words that i speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life 64 but there are some of you that believe not for jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him 65 and he said, therefore said i unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father 66 from that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him 67 then said jesus unto the twelve, will ye also go away? 68 then simon peter answered him, lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life 69 and we believe and are sure that thou art that christ, the son of the living god 70 jesus answered them, have not i chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 he spake of judas iscariot the son of simon for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve
