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.
