6 But he said this testing him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.
This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Loaves of two hundred denarii of bread are not sufficient for them, so that each of them may take a little something.
Philip [Loves horses] answered him, “Two hundred denarii (200 days wages) worth of matzah ·unleavened bread· is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

9 There is one child here that has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these for so many?
“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
10 And 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

14 When therefore the men saw what sign Jesus did, they said, This really is the prophet who comes into the world.
When therefore the people saw the sign which Yeshua [Salvation] did, they said, “This is truly the prophet (promised Messiah) who comes into the world.”
15 Jesus therefore having perceived that they are going to come and seize him, so that they might make him king, departed onto the mountain himself alone.

17 and having entered into the boat, they were going to the other side of the sea toward Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

18 And the sea was being raised by a great wind blowing.
The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
19 Therefore having impelled forward about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid.
When therefore they had rowed between twenty-five stadia [3.3 mi; 4.6 km] to thirty stadia [4 mi; 5.6 km] distance, they saw Yeshua [Salvation] walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
20 But he says to them, It is I, fear not.
But he said to them, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], don’t be afraid.”
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat, and straightaway the boat came to be at the land to which they were going.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Yeshua [Salvation] hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
23 and other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord expressed thanks,

25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did thou become here?
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, when did you come here?”
26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

29 Jesus answered, and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in that man whom he has sent.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “This is the work of God, that you trust in him whom he has sent.”
30 They said to him therefore, What sign do thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What do thou work?
They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and trust you? What work do you do?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
Our fathers ate the manna ·what is it· in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
32 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it was not Moses [Drawn out] who gave you the manna ·what is it· out of heaven, but 'Avi ·my Father· gives you the true manna ·what is it· out of heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.

36 But also I said to you, that ye have seen me, and yet do not believe.
But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t trust.
37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out.
All those whom Abba ·Father· gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
38 Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day.
This is the will of 'Avi ·my Father· who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

The Jews [Praisers] therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
42 And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Therefore how does this man say, I have come down out of heaven?
They said, “Is not this Yeshua [Salvation], the son of Joseph [May he add], whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among each other.
Therefore Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they will all be taught of God. Every man who hears from the Father, and having learned, comes to me.
It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by Adonai.’ Therefore everyone who hears from haAbba ·the Father·, and has learned, comes to me.
46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God. This man has seen the Father.
Not that anyone has seen Abba Father, except he who is from God. He has seen Abba Father.

Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the living manna ·what is it· which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this manna, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me.
As the living Abba Father sent me, and I live because of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down out of heaven— not as our fathers ate the manna ·what is it·, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)

60 Therefore many of his disciples having heard, said, This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?
Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause you to stumble?
But Yeshua [Salvation] knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·?
62 Then if ye should see the Son of man ascending where he was before?
Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life.
It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
64 Nevertheless, there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who do not believe, and who he is who will betray him.
But there are some of you who don’t trust.” For Yeshua [Salvation] knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t trust, and who it was who would betray him.
65 And he said, Because of this I have said to you that no man is able to come to me, if it is not given to him from my Father.
He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by 'Avi ·my Father·.”
66 From this, many of his disciples went back at these things, and walked no more with him.
At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, Do ye not also want to go?
Yeshua [Salvation] said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
68 Simon Peter therefore answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? Thou have sayings of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 And we have believed and know that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
We have come to trust and know that you are the Messiah [Anointed one], haBen haElohim Chayim [the Son of the God Living].”
70 Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil [Accuser]?”
71 But he spoke of Judas Iscariot son of Simon. For this man, being one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
Now he spoke of Judas [Praised], the son of Simeon [Hearing] from K'riot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
