Gospel According to John
6:1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee,
which is the sea of Tiberias. 6:2And a great multitude followed him, because they
beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick. 6:3And Jesus went up into
the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 6:4Now the passover, the feast of
the Jews, was at hand. 6:5Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great
multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that
these may eat? 6:6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he
would do. 6:7Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. 6:8One of his disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 6:9There is a lad here, who hath
five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? 6:10Jesus
said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the
men sat down, in number about five thousand. 6:11Jesus therefore took the loaves;
and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also
of the fishes as much as they would. 6:12And when they were filled, he saith unto
his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
6:13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the
five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. 6:14When
therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the
prophet that cometh into the world. 6:15Jesus therefore perceiving that they were
about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the
mountain himself alone. 6:16And when evening came, his disciples went down unto
the sea; 6:17and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 6:18And the
sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew. 6:19When therefore they had
rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the
sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid. 6:20But he saith unto
them, It is I; be not afraid. 6:21They were willing therefore to receive him into the
boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. 6:22On the
morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no
other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the
boat, but that his disciples went away alone 6:23(howbeit there came boats from
Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given
thanks): 6:24when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his
disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking
Jesus. 6:25And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto
him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 6:26Jesus answered them and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate
of the loaves, and were filled. 6:27Work not for the food which perisheth, but for
the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto
you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed. 6:28They said therefore unto him,
What must we do, that we may work the works of God? 6:29Jesus answered and
said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath
sent. 6:30They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may
see, and believe thee? what workest thou? 6:31Our fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. 6:32Jesus
therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that
gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of
heaven. 6:33For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and
giveth life unto the world. 6:34They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us
this bread. 6:35Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 6:36But I said unto
you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not. 6:37All that which the Father giveth
me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
6:38For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me. 6:39And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he
hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 6:40For
this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth
on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 6:41The
Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which
came down out of heaven. 6:42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of
heaven? 6:43Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
6:44No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up in the last day. 6:45It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be
taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned,
cometh unto me. 6:46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from
God, he hath seen the Father. 6:47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth
hath eternal life. 6:48I am the bread of life. 6:49Your fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness, and they died. 6:50This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven,
that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 6:51I am the living bread which came down
out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the
bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. 6:52The Jews therefore
strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
6:53Jesus therefore 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 not life in yourselves. 6:54He
that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him
up at the last day. 6:55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
6:56He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. 6:57As
the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me,
he also shall live because of me. 6:58This is the bread which came down out of
heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for
ever. 6:59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 6:60Many
therefore of his disciples, when the heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who
can hear it? 6:61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this,
said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble? 6:62What then if ye should behold the
Son of man ascending where he was before? 6:63It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.
6:64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning
who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him. 6:65And he
said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it
be given unto him of the Father. 6:66Upon this many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him. 6:67Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also
go away? 6:68Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life. 6:69And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy
One of God. 6:70Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of
you is a devil? 6:71Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was
that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
