Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness
and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
may eat, thereof, and not die. 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.
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give
us His flesh to eat? 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. Whosoever eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood
hath eternal life. I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is
meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. The living Father hath
sent me and I live by the Father. Therefore, he that eateth me shall
also live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven. Not
the manna your fathers ate. He that eateth of this bread shall live for
ever. These things said He in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
When they heard this, many of His disciples said, This is a hard
saying. Who can hear it? Jesus knew that His disciples murmured at it
and said, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man
ascend up where He was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth. The flesh
profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and
they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not and who would
betray Him. And He said, Therefore I said unto you that no man can come
unto me except it were given of my Father. From that time many of His
followers went back and walked with Him no more.
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Simon Peter
answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal
life. We believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of
the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve and
one of you is a devil? He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon,
for he it was, of that twelve, that should betray Him.
7. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee. He would not
walk in Jewry because the Jews sought to kill Him. Now the Jews' feast
of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren, therefore, said unto Him,
Depart hence. Go into Judaea that Thy disciples also may see the works
that Thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret,
and He Himself seeketh to be known openly. If Thou do these things show
Thyself to the world. For neither did His own brethren believe in Him.
