1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is, the sea of Tiberias. 2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miraculous signs which he performed on those who were diseased. 3And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company coming to him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6And this he said to test him: for he knew what he would do. 7Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii of bread is not sufficient for every one of them to have a little. 8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fish: but what are they among so many? 10And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; and he did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted. 12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost. 13Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. 14Then those men, when they had seen the miraculous sign that Jesus did, said, This is truly the prophet who is to come into the world. 15When Jesus perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to the mountain by himself. 16And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17And entered into a boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 18And the sea arose because of a great wind that blew. 19So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat: and they were afraid. 20But he said to them, It is I; do not be afraid. 21Then they gladly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. 22The day following, the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone. 23But now some other boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24When the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here? 26Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miraculous signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled. 27Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for on him has God the Father set his seal. 28Then they said to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent. 30Therefore they said to him, What sign do you show then, that we may see, and believe you? what work do you perform? 31Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world. 34Then they said to him, Lord, give us this bread always. 35And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes in me shall never thirst. 36But I said to you, That you have seen me, and do not believe. 37All those whom the Father gives me shall come to me; and he who comes to me I will by no means cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up on the last day. 40And this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up on the last day. 41Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he now says, I came down from heaven? 43Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur among yourselves. 44No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him: and I will raise him up on the last day. 45It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore, every man who has heard, and has learned from the Father, comes to me. 46Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes has eternal life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52The Jews then argued among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day. 55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him. 57As the living Father sent me, and I live by the Father: so he who eats me shall live because of me. 58This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as the fathers ate manna, and died: he who eats this bread shall live forever. 59These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60Many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 61But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, Does this offend you? 62What then if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before? 63The spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words I speak to you are spirit and life. 64But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not believe, and who would betray him. 65And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no one can come to me, unless it is granted to him by the Father. 66From that time many of his disciples drew back, and no longer walked with him. 67Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. 69And we believe and have come to know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he, one of the twelve, who would betray him.
