6 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.
35And
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. 44No
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? 62What
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.
