- The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
- 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?
- Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
- 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.
- 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.
|
- At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
- They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
- "Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.
- "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
- It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
|
- Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
- I am that bread of life.
- Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
- This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
|
- No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
- I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.
- I am the bread of life.
- Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.
- But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.
|
- 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.
- The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
- 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.
- Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
- For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
|
- I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
- Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
- Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
- Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
- For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
|
- He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
- As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
- 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.
- These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
- Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
|
- Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
- Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
- This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
- He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
- On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
|
- When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
- What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
- It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
- 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.
- And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
|
- Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?
- What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!
- The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
- Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.
- He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him."
|
- From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
- Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
- Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
- And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
- Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
|
- From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
- "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
- Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
- We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
- Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!"
|
- He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
|
- (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)
