'After1this2Jesus5went away3to the other side6of the7Sea8of Galilee,10which is the Seaof Tiberias.12 And2a large5crowd4was following1him,3because6they saw7the8signs9that10he was doing11on12the13sick.14 Jesus6went up1on3the4mountain,5and7there8he sat down9with10his13disciples.12 Now2the4Passover,5the6feast7of the8Jews,9was1at hand.3 Lifting up1hiseyes,4then,2and7seeing8that9a large10crowd11was coming12toward13him,14Jesus6said15to16Philip,17“Where18are we to buy19bread,20so that21these people23may eat?”22 He said3this1to test4him,5for7he8himself6knew8what9he would10do.11 Philip4answered1him,2“Two hundred5denarii [worth] of6bread7wouldnot8be enough9for10each of12them10to get1115a little.”13 One3of4his7disciples,6Andrew,8Simon11Peter’s12brother,10said1to him,2 “There is1a boy2here3who4has5five6barley8loaves7and9two10fish,11but12what14are15they13for16so many?”17 Jesus3said,1“Have4the5people6sit down.”7Now9there was8much11grass10in12the13place.14So16the17men18sat down,15about21five thousand22in number.20 Jesus6then2took1the3loaves,4and7when he had given thanks,8he distributed9themto those10who were seated.11So12also13the15fish,16as much as17they wanted.18 And2when1they had eaten their fill,3he told4his7disciples,6“Gather up8the9leftover10fragments,11that12nothing1314may be lost.”15 So2they gathered [them] up1and3filled4twelve5baskets6with fragments7from8the9five10barley13loaves11left15by those16who had eaten.17 When2the1people3saw4the sign7that5he had done,6they said,8“This10is11indeed12the13Prophet14who is to come16into17the18world!”19 Perceiving3then2that4they were about5to come6and7take8him9by force8to make1011himking,12Jesus1withdrew13again14to15the16mountain17by himself.1819 When1evening3came,4his8disciples7went down5to9the10sea,11 got2into3a boat,4andstarted5across6the7sea8to9Capernaum.10It was14now13dark,12and11Jesus21had17not yet16come17to18them.19 The1sea3became rough7becausea strong5wind4was blowing.6 When they had rowed1about3three or four miles,45678they saw9Jesus11walking12on13the14sea15and16coming20near17the18boat,19and21they were frightened.22 But2he1said3to them,4“It is6I;5donot7be afraid.”8 Then2they were glad1to take3him4into5the6boat,7and8immediately9the11boat12was10at13the14land15to16which17they were going.18 On the1next day2the3crowd4that remained6on the other side7of the8sea9saw10that11there had been15only1718one19boat12there,16and20that21Jesus28had23not22entered23the30boat31with23his26disciples,25but32that23his36disciples35had gone away37alone.33 Other1boats3from4Tiberias5came2near6the7place8where9they had eaten10the11bread12afterthe14Lord15had given thanks.13 So2when1the4crowd5saw3that6Jesus7was9not8there,10nor11his14disciples,13they15themselves16got into15the18boats19and20went21to22Capernaum,23seeking24Jesus.26 When they found2him3on the other side of4the5sea,6they said7to him,8“Rabbi,9when10did you come12here?”11 Jesus4answered1them,2“Truly,7truly,8I say9to you,10you are seeking11me,12not13because14you saw15signs,16but17because18you ate19your fill24of the21loaves.22 Donot2work1for the3food4that3perishes,6but7for the8food9that endures11to12eternal14life,13which15the16Son17of Man19will give21to you.20For23on him22God28the24Father25has set his seal.”26 Then2they said1to3him,4“What5must we do,6to be doing78the9works10of God?”12 Jesus3answered1them,6“This7is8the9work10of God,12that13you believe14in15him16whom18he has sent.”17 So2they said1to him,3“Then5what4sign8doyou7do,6that9we may see10and11believe12you?13What14work do you perform?15 Our3fathers2ate6the4manna5in7the8wilderness;9as10it is11written,12‘He gave17them18bread13from14heaven16to eat.’”19 Jesus5then2said1to them,3“Truly,6truly,7I say8to you,9it wasnot10Moses11whogave12you13the14bread15from16heaven,18but19my22Father21gives23you24the25true31bread26from27heaven.29 For2the1bread3of God5is6he7who comes down8from9heaven11and12gives14life13to the15world.”16 They said1to3him,4“Sir,5give7us8this11bread10always.”6 Jesus4said1to them,2“I5am6the7bread8of life;10whoever comes1112to13me14shall17not1516hunger,17and18whoever believes1920in21me22shall25never232426thirst.25 But1I said2to you3that4you have seen6me7and8yet do10not9believe.10 All1that2the5Father6gives3me4will come9to7me,8and10whoever comes1112to13me14I will17never1516cast17out.18 For1I have come down2from3heaven,5not6to do78my own12will10but13the14will15of him16who sent17me.18 And2this1is3the4will5of him6who sent7me,8that9I should lose15nothing of141617all10that11he has given12me,13but18raise19it20up19on21the22last23day.24 For2this1is3the4will5of7my8Father,7that9everyone10who looks12on the13Son14and15believes16in17him18should have19eternal21life,20and22I25will raise23him24up23on26the27last28day.”29 So2the3Jews4grumbled1about5him,6because7he said,8“I9am10the11bread12that came down14from15heaven.”17 They said,2“Is5not3this4Jesus,6the7son8of Joseph,9whose10father14and15mother17we11know?12How18doeshe20now19say,20‘I have come down25from22heaven’?”24 Jesus2answered1them,5“Donot6grumble7among8yourselves.9 No one1can2come3to4me5unless67the8Father9who sent11me12draws13him.14And I15will raise16him17up16on18the19last20day.21 It is1written2in3the4Prophets,5‘And6they will7all8be7taught9by God.’10Everyone11who has heard13and17learned18from14the15Father16comes19to20me —21 not1that2anyone6has seen5the3Father4except78he9who is10from11God;13he14has seen15the16Father.17 Truly,1truly,2I say3to you,4whoever believes56has7eternal9life.8 I1am2the3bread4of life.6 Your3fathers2ate4the8manna9in5the6wilderness,7and10they died.11 This1is2the3bread4that comes down9from6heaven,8so that10one11may eat14of12it13and15not16die.17 I1am2the3living6bread4that came down11from8heaven.10If12anyone13eats14of15this16bread,18he will live19forever.2022And23the24bread25that27I28will give29for34the35life38of the36world37is33my32flesh.”31 The5Jews6then2disputed1among3themselves,4saying,7“How8can9this man10give12us11his15flesh14to eat?”16 So2Jesus5said1to them,3“Truly,6truly,7I say8to you,9unless1011you eat12the13flesh14of the15Son16of Man18and19drink20his21blood,23you have25no24life26in27you.28 Whoever feeds on12my3flesh5and6drinks7my8blood10has11eternal13life,12and I14will raise15him16up15on the17last18day.19 For2my4flesh3is6true5food,7and8my11blood10is13true12drink.14 Whoever feeds on12my3flesh5and6drinks7my8blood10abides13in11me,12and I14in15him.16 As1the4living5Father6sent2me,3and I7live8because of9the10Father,11so12whoever feeds on1314me,15he also16will live17because of18me.19 This1is2the3bread4that came down8from6heaven,7not9like10the breadthe12fathers13ate,11and14died.15Whoever feeds on1617this18bread20will live21forever.”2224 [Jesus] said2these things1in3the synagogue,4as he taught5at6Capernaum.7 When3many1of4his7disciples6heard3it,they said,8“This13is10a11hard9saying;12who14can15listen to17it?”16 But2Jesus,4knowing1in5himself6that7his13disciples12were grumbling8about9this,10said14to them,15“Doyou17take offense at18this?16 Then2what if1you were to see3the4Son5of Man7ascending to8where9he was10before?12 It is3the1Spirit2who gives life;5the6flesh7isno8help9at all.10The11words12that13I14have spoken15to you16are18spirit17and19life.20 But1there are2some5of3you4who6donot7believe.”8(For10Jesus14knew9from11the beginning12who15those17were16who19didnot18believe,19and20who21it23was22who would betray24him.)25 And1he said,2“This is why34I told5you6that7no one8can9come10to11me12unless1314it is15granted16him17by18the19Father.”20 After1this2many3of4his7disciples6turned8back91011and12no longer13walked16with14him.15 So2Jesus4said1to the5Twelve,6“Doyou9want10to go away11as well?”8 Simon3Peter4answered1him,2“Lord,5to6whom7shall we go?8You have12the words9of eternal11life,10 and1we2have believed,3and4have come to know,5that6you7are8the9Holy10Oneof God.”12 Jesus4answered1them,2“DidI6not5choose10you,7the8Twelve?9And yet11one14of12you13is16a devil.”15 He spoke of1Judas4[the son] of Simon5Iscariot,6for8he,7one12of13the14Twelve,15was going9to betray10him.11
