1 After these things went the Jesus over the sea that of Galilee, of the Tiberias.

2 And was following him a crowd great, because they saw the signs, which he was doing on those being sick.

3 Went and into the mountain the Jesus, and there he was sitting with the disciples of himself.

4 Was and near the passover, the feast of the Jews.

5 Lifted up then the Jesus the eyes, and seeing that great a crowd was coming to him, says to the Philip: Whence shall we buy loaves, that may eat these?

6 (This but he said trying him; he for knew, what he was about to do.)

7 Answered him Philip: Two hundred denarii of loaves not are enough for them, so that each of them a little may take.

8 Says to him one of the disciples of him, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter:

9 Is little boy one here, who has five loaves barley, and two small fishes; but these what are for so many?

10 Said and the Jesus: Make you the men to recline. Was and grass much in the place. Reclined therefore the men the number about five thousand.

11 Took and the loaves the Jesus, and having thanks distributed to the disciples, the and disciples to those reclining; in like manner also of the fishes what they wished.

12 When and they were filled, he says to the disciples of himself: Collect the remaining fragments, so that not any may be lost.

13 They collected therefore, and filled twelve baskets of fragments, out of the five loaves of the barley, which remained to those having eaten.

14 The therefore men seeing what did a sign the Jesus, said: That this is truly the prophet, he coming into the world.

15 Jesus therefore knowing that they were about to come, and to seize him, that they might make him a king, retired again into the mountain himself alone.

16 As and evening it became, went down the disciples of him on the sea.

17 And stepping into the ship, they were going over the sea to Capernaum. And dark now it had become, and not had come to them the Jesus.

18 The and sea, a wind great blowing was becoming agitated.

19 Having driven therefore about furlongs twenty–five or thirty, they see the Jesus walking on the sea, and near the ship was coming; and they were afraid.

20 He but says to them: I am, not fear you.

21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land, to which they were going.

22 The next day the crowd, that standing over the sea, seeing, that boat other not was there, if not one, and that not went with the disciples of himself the Jesus into the boat, but alone the disciples of him went away;

23 (other but came boats from Tiberias near the place, where they ate the bread, having given thanks the Lord;)

24 when therefore saw the crowd, that Jesus not is there, nor the disciples of him, they entered themselves into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking the Jesus.

25 And finding him beyond the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when here didst thou come?

26 Answered them the Jesus and said: Indeed indeed I say to you: You seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Work you not the food that perishing, but the food that abiding into life age–lasting, which the son of the man to you will give; him for the Father sealed the God.

28 Said therefore to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of the God?

29 Answered the Jesus and said to them: This is the work of the God, that you may believe into whom sent he.

30 They said therefore to him: What then doest thou sign, that we may see and we may believe thee? what doest thou work?

31 The fathers of us the manna ate in the desert, as it is having been written: Bread from the heaven gave them to eat.

32 Said therefore to them the Jesus: Indeed indeed I say to you, not Moses has given to you the bread from the heaven; but the Father of me gives to you the bread from the heaven the true.

33 The for bread of the God is he coming down from the heaven, and life is giving to the world.

34 They said then to him: O sir, always give to us the bread this.

35 Said but to them the Jesus: I am the bread of the life; he coming to me, not not may hunger; and he believing into me, not not may thirst ever.

36 But I said to you, that even you have seen me, and not you believe.

37 All what gives to me the Father, to me will come; and the coming to me, not not I will cast out;

38 because I have come down from heaven, not that I may do the will the mine, but the will of having sent me.

39 This and is the will of the having sent me, that every which he has given to me, not I may lose out of it, but raise up it in the last day.

40 This for is the will of the having sent me, that all who seeing the son, and believing into him, may have life age–lasting; and will raise him I in the last day.

41 Were murmuring then the Jews about him, because he said: I am the bread that having come down from the heaven;

42 and they said: Not this is Jesus the son of Joseph, of whom we know the father and the mother? How then he says this: That from the heaven I have come down?

43 Answered the Jesus and said to them: Not murmur you with one another.

44 No one is able to come to me, if not the Father, that having sent me, may draw him, and I will raise up him in the last day.

45 It is having been written in the prophets: And they shall be all taught of God. Every one who having heard from the Father and having learned, comes to me.

46 Not that the Father any one has seen, if not he being from the God; this has seen the Father.

47 Indeed indeed I say to you, he believing into me, has life age–lasting.

48 I am the bread of the life.

49 The fathers of you ate the manna in the desert, and died:

50 This is is the bread, that from the heaven coming down, so that any one of it may eat, and not may die.

51 I am the bread that living, that from the heaven having come down; if any one may eat of this the bread, he shall live into the age. And the bread also, which I will give, the flesh of me is, which I will give in behalf of the world life.

52 Were contending therefore with one another the Jews, saying: How is able this to us to give the flesh to eat?

53 Said them to them the Jesus: Indeed indeed I say to you, if not you may eat the flesh of the son of the man, and you may drink of him the blood, not have life in yourselves.

54 He eating of me the flesh, and drinking of me the blood, has life age–lasting; and I will raise up him in the last day.

55 The for flesh of me truly is food, and the blood of me truly is drink.

56 He eating of me the flesh, and drinking of me the blood, in me abides, and I in him.

57 As sent me the living Father, and I live through the Father; also he eating me, even he shall live through me.

58 This is the bread, that from the heaven having come down; not as ate the fathers of you, and died; he eating this the bread, shall live into the age.

59 These things he said in a synagogue teaching in Capernaum.

60 Many therefore having heard of the disciples of him, said: Hard is this the saying; who is able it to hear?

61 Knowing but the Jesus in himself, that were murmuring about this the disciples of himself, he said to them: This you offends?

62 If then you should see the son of the man ascending, where he was the first?

63 The spirit is that making alive; the flesh not profits nothing. The words, which I speak to you, spirit is and life is.

64 But are of you some, who not believe; knew for from beginning the Jesus, some are who not believing, and who is he about betraying him.

65 And he said: Through this I have said to you that no one is able to come to me, if not may be having been given to him from the Father of me.

66 From this many went the disciples of him into the things behind; and no longer with him were walking.

67 Said therefore the Jesus to the twelve: Not and you wish to go?

68 Answered him Simon Peter: O lord, to whom shall we go? words of life age–lasting thou hast;

69 and we have believed and have known, that thou art the holy one of the God.

70 Answered them the Jesus: Not I you the twelve choose? and of you one an accuser is.

71 He spoke now the Judas of Simon Iscariot; this for was about him to deliver up, one being of the twelve.

1 After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 A great crowd followed him because they saw the signs miracles he performed on the sick.

3 Jesus and his disciples went to the mountain.

4 It was time for the Passover feast of the Jews.

5 Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him. He asked Philip: »Where will we buy enough bread to feed them?«

6 He said this to test him for he knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered: »Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for everyone to take a little.«

8 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, one of his disciples said:

9 »There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish. What are these among so many?«

10 Jesus said: »Make the people sit down.« There were about five thousand men who sat down on the grass.

11 Jesus gave thanks and then he distributed the loaves along with the fish to those sitting on the grass.

12 When they were filled he told the disciples to gather up the broken pieces left over so nothing would be wasted.

13 They gathered twelve baskets of leftovers after everyone had eaten.

14 When the people saw the miracle performed they said: »Truly this is the prophet who came into the world.«

15 Jesus knew that they were about to take him by force and make him king. So he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

16 That evening his disciples went to the sea.

17 They boarded a boat to travel over the sea to Capernaum. It was dark and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18 A great wind made the sea rise.

19 They rowed about four miles and saw Jesus walking on the sea. He came close to the boat. They were afraid.

20 He said to them: »It is I. Do not be afraid!«

21 They eagerly brought him into the boat. The boat soon arrived at the land where they were going.

22 The next day the crowd stood by the side of the sea. Jesus entered the only boat while his disciples went away alone.

23 Small boats from Tiberias came there to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

24 When the crowd saw that Jesus and his disciples were not there they got into the boats and traveled to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

25 They found him on the other side of the sea and said: »Rabbi Teacher when did you come here?«

26 Jesus said: »Truly I tell you, you seek me not because you saw miracles but because you ate of the loaves and were full.

27 »Do not work for food that perishes but for food that offers everlasting life. The Son of man will give you this food. The Father, even God, has set his seal upon him.«

28 They asked: »What must we do, that we may work the works of God?«

29 Jesus answered: »This is the work of God, that you have an active faith in the one whom he has sent.«

30 They asked: »What do you offer for a sign miracle that we may see and believe you? What work will you do?

31 »Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness. It is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’«

32 Jesus responded: »I speak the truth! It was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven. My Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

33 »For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven. It gives life to the world.«

34 They responded: »Lord, always give us this bread.«

35 Jesus replied: »I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger. The one who puts active faith in me will never thirst.

36 »I told you. You have seen me and yet do not believe.

37 »That which the Father gives me will come to me. I will not reject him who comes to me.

38 »I do not do my own will. I came down from heaven to do the will of him that sent me.

39 »This is the will of him that sent me that I should not lose any of those he has given me, but I should raise them up at the last day.

40 »For this is the will of my Father. Every one who sees the Son and puts active faith in him will have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.«

41 The Jews complained about him. This is because he said ‘I am the bread that came down out of heaven.’

42 They said: »Is Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How does he now say, I came down out of heaven?«

43 Jesus answered: »Stop complaining and saying things against me.

44 »No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him. I will resurrect him raise him up in the last day.

45 »It is written in the prophets: Jehovah shall teach them all. Every one who hears the Father and has learned comes to me. (Jeremiah 31:34)

46 »No one has seen the Father. Only he who is from God, He has seen the Father.

47 »Truly, truly I tell you, he who believes has everlasting life.

48 »I am the bread of life.

49 »Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.

50 »This is the bread that comes down out of heaven that a man may eat of it and not die.

51 »I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread he will live forever. Yes and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.«

52 The Jews argued with one another saying: »How can this man give us his flesh to eat?«

53 Jesus responded to them: »Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves.

54 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life! I will raise him up at the last day.

55 »For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him.

57 »The living Father sent me and I live because of the Father. He who takes me for his food will live because of me.

58 »This is the bread that came down out of heaven. It is not like the bread manna the fathers ate and then died. He who eats this bread will live forever.«

59 He said these things in the synagogue when he taught in Capernaum.

60 When they heard this many of his disciples said: »This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?«

61 He knew his disciples complained about this. Jesus said: »Does this cause you to stumble?

62 »What if you see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

63 »It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life.

64 »There are some of you who do not believe.« Jesus knew from the beginning whom they were who did not believe and who would betray him.

65 He stated: »For this reason listen to what I say. No man can come to me, except it be given to him from the Father.«

66 After this many of his disciples returned to their old ways. They did not walk with him anymore.

67 Jesus asked the twelve: »Will you also go away?«

68 Simon Peter answered him: »Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life!

69 »We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.«

70 Jesus replied: »Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil false accuserslandererdemon«.

71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot one of the twelve, for he would betray him.
