John 6
1 After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias;
After these things, Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee or of Tiberias.
2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.
And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
And Jesus ascended a mountain, and there he seated himself with his disciples.
4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
And the feast of the Jewish passover was near.
5 So then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him, saith unto Philip—Whence are we to buy loaves, that these may eat?
And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, what he was about to do.
And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do.
7 Philip answered him—Two hundred denaries-worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little.
Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little.
8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:
9 There is a little lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes, —but, these, —what are they, for such numbers?
There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people?
10 Jesus said—Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, to the number of about five thousand.
Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand.
11 Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing.
And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired.
12 And, when they were well-filled, he saith unto his disciples—Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing be lost.
And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves, —which were left over by them who had eaten.
And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes.
14 The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say—This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.
And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world.
15 Jesus, therefore, getting to know that they were about to come, and seize him, that they might make him king, retired again into the mountain, himself, alone.
And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.
16 But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 and, entering into a boat, were going across the sea into Capernaum. And, dark, already, had it become, and, not yet, had Jesus reached them;
and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
And the sea was boisterous against them, for a violent wind was blowing.
19 Having therefore rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they observe Jesus, walking upon the sea, and, near the boat, coming; and they were affrighted.
And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid.
20 But, he, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid.
21 They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly going.
And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was not, another small-boat, there, save one, —and that Jesus entered not, along with his disciples, unto the boat, but that, alone, his disciples departed: —
And the next day, the multitude, who had remained on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there, except that in which the disciples embarked, and that Jesus did not embark in that ship with his disciples;
23 howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had given thanks: —
yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.
24 When, therefore, the multitude saw, that, Jesus, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus;
And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus.
25 and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him—Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Our Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them, and said—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.
Jesus replied and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the signs, but because ye ate the bread and were satisfied.
27 Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, —which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal. (aiōnios g166)
Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?
They said to him: What shall we do, in order to work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered, and said unto them—This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.
Jesus replied and said to them: This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said, therefore, unto him—What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working?
They say to him: What sign doest thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What workest thou?
31 Our fathers, did eat, the manna, in the desert, —just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them to eat.
Our fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Not Moses, gave you the bread out of heaven; but, my Father, giveth you the real bread out of heaven.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.
33 For, the bread of God, is that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world.
For the bread of God is, he that came down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
They say to him: Our Lord, give us at all times this bread.
35 Jesus said unto them—I, am the bread of life: he that cometh unto me, in nowise shall hunger, and, he that believeth on me, in nowise shall thirst, any more.
Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall not thirst, for ever.
36 But I told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet do not believe.
But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and do not believe.
37 All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, —
All that my Father gave me, will come to me: and him, that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38 Because I have come down from heaven, —Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
39 And, this, is the will of him that sent me, That, of all that which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 For, this, is the will of my Father, That, every one that vieweth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life age-abiding, and, I, should raise him up, at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews, therefore, began to murmur concerning him, because he said—I, am the bread that came down out of heaven;
Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread, who have descended from heaven.
42 and were saying—Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, —of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?
And they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? And how doth he say: I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
Jesus replied and said to them: Murmur not, one with another.
44 No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, draw him, —and, I, will raise him up, in the last day.
No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, —And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me.
For it is written, in the prophet: And they shall all be taught of God. Whoever, therefore, heareth from the Father, and learneth from him, cometh to me.
46 Not that any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God, —this one, hath seen the Father.
Not that any one hath seen the Father, except him who hath come from God; he it is, hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say to you: That, to him who believeth in me, there is life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life: —
I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
Your fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness, and they died.
50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, —and not die.
But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
51 I, am the living bread, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age-abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh—for the world’s life. (aiōn g165)
I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying—How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?
Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat?
53 Jesus, therefore, 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 not life within yourselves.
And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you.
54 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age-abiding, and, I, will raise him up at the last day; (aiōnios g166)
But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day (aiōnios g166)
55 For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink:
For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink.
56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him
57 Just as the living Father sent me, —and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason of me.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me.
58 This, is the bread, which, out of heaven, came down: —Not just as your fathers did eat—and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; whoever shall eat of this bead, will live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Many, of his disciples, therefore, when they heard, said—Hard, is this discourse, —Who can, thereunto, hearken?
And many of his disciples who heard him, said: This is a hard speech, who can hear it.
61 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them—Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble?
And Jesus knew in himself, that his disciples murmured at this; and he said to them, Doth this stumble you?
62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? …
If then, ye were to see the Son of man ascend, to where he was from the beginning!
63 The spirit, it is, that giveth life, —the flesh, profiteth, nothing: The declarations which, I, have spoken unto you, are, spirit, and, are, life.
It is the Spirit that vivifieth; the body profiteth nothing. The words which I have used with you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some from among you, who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who it was would deliver him up; —
But there are some of you, that believe not. For Jesus knew, from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who it was that would betray him.
65 and he went on to say—For this cause, have I said unto you: No one, can come unto me, except it have been given him, of the Father.
And he said to them: For this reason, I said to you, That no one can come to me, unless it be given to him by my Father.
66 Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking.
On account of this speech, many of his disciples turned back, and walked not with him.
67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
And Jesus said to the twelve: Are ye also disposed to go away?
68 Simon Peter answered him—Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age-abiding, thou hast; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Cephas replied, and said: My Lord, to whom shall we go? The words of life eternal are with thee. (aiōnios g166)
69 And, we, have believed, and come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them—Did not, I, make choice, of you, the twelve? And yet, from among you, one, is, an adversary.
Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.
71 Now he was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot: for, the same, was about to deliver him up, —one of the twelve.
This he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was afterwards to betray him, being one of the twelve.
