1After these things Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee which is the Sea of Tiberias.
2And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.
3And Jesus went up onto a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
4Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5And when Jesus lifted up His eyes and saw a great company coming unto Him, He said unto Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"
6And this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7Philip answered Him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little."
8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said unto Him,
9"There is a lad here who hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?"
10And 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.
11And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.
12When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost."
13Therefore 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.
14Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus had done, said, "This is in truth that Prophet who is coming into the world!"
15When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force to make Him a king, He departed again onto a mountain alone.
16And as evening had now come, His disciples went down unto 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 by reason 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 nigh unto the boat; and they were afraid.
20But He said unto them, "It is I; be not afraid."
21Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.
22The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save the one into which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not gone with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone
23(however there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks)"
24when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took boats and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"
26Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.
27Labor 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 on Him hath God the Father set His seal."
28Then said they unto Him, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"
29Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe in Him whom He hath sent."
30They said therefore unto Him, "What sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What works dost thou do?
31Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written: `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32Then 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.
33For the bread of God is He that cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world."
34Then they said 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 in Me shall never thirst.
36But I said unto you that ye also have seen Me, and believe not.
37All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me, and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I came down from Heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.
39And this is the Father's will who 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.
40And this is the will of Him that sent Me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in Him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day."
41The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, "I am the Bread which came down from Heaven."
42And 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'?"
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, "Murmur not among yourselves.
44No man can come to Me unless the Father who hath sent Me draw him; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.
45It is written in the Prophets: `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned from the Father cometh unto Me.
46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He that is of God; He hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life.
48I am that Bread of Life.
49Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.
51I 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."
52The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
54Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day.
55For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood dwelleth in Me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.
58This is that Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever."
59These things said He in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
60Many of His disciples therefore, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?"
61When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, "Doth this offend you?
62What if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before?
63It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64But there are some of you that believe not." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who believed not and who should betray Him.
65And He said, "Therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto Me, unless it were given unto him by My Father."
66From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.
67Then Jesus said unto the twelve, "Will ye also go away?"
68Then Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life,
69and we believe and are sure that Thou art that 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 he it was who should betray Him, being one of the twelve.
