Iohannem 6
1 Post haec abiit Iesus trans mare Galilaeae, quod est Tiberiadis:
After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
2 et sequebatur eum multitudo magna, quia videbant signa, quae faciebat super his, qui infirmabantur.
A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
3 Subiit ergo in montem Iesus: et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis.
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
4 Erat autem proximum Pascha dies festus Iudaeorum.
Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
5 Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Iesus, et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philippum: Unde ememus panes, ut manducent hi?
When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
6 Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum: ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus.
But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
7 Respondit ei Philippus: Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat.
Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
8 Dicit ei unus ex discipulis eius, Andreas frater Simonis Petri:
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
9 Est puer unus hic, qui habet quinque panes ordeaceos, et duos pisces: sed haec quid sunt inter tantos?
“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
10 Dixit ergo Iesus: Facite homines discumbere. Erat autem foenum multum in loco. Discumberunt ergo viri, numero quasi quinque millia.
“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
11 Accepit ergo Iesus panes: et cum gratias egisset, distribuit discumbentibus: similiter et ex piscibus quantum volebant.
Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
12 Ut autem impleti sunt, dixit discipulis suis: Colligite quae superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant.
And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
13 Collegerunt ergo, et impleverunt duodecim cophinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus ordeaceis, et duobus piscibius quae superfuerunt his, qui manducaverant.
So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14 Illi ergo homines cum vidissent quod Iesus fecerat signum, dicebant: Quia hic est vere propheta, qui venturus est in mundum.
When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 Iesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi essent ut raperent eum, et facerent eum regem, fugit iterum in montem ipse solus.
Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
16 Ut autem sero factum est, descenderunt discipuli eius ad mare.
When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 Et cum ascendissent navim, venerunt trans mare in Capharnaum: et tenebrae iam factae erant: et non venerat ad eos Iesus.
got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
18 Mare autem, vento magno flante, exurgebat.
A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
19 Cum remigassent ergo quasi stadia viginti quinque aut triginta, vident Iesum ambulantem supra mare, et proximum navi fieri, et timuerunt.
When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
20 Ille autem dicit eis: Ego sum, nolite timere.
But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
21 Voluerunt ergo accipere eum in navim: et statim navis fuit ad terram, in quam ibant.
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22 Altera die, turba, quae stabat trans mare, vidit quia navicula alia non erat ibi nisi una, et quia non introisset cum discipulis suis Iesus in navim, sed soli discipuli eius abiissent:
The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.
23 aliae vero supervenerunt naves a Tiberiade iuxta locum ubi manducaverunt panem, gratias agentes Deo.
However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Cum ergo vidisset turba quia Iesus non esset ibi, neque discipuli eius, ascenderunt in naviculas, et venerunt Capharnaum quaerentes Iesum.
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.
25 Et cum invenissent eum trans mare, dixerunt ei: Rabbi, quando huc venisti?
When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
26 Respondit eis Iesus, et dixit: Amen, amen dico vobis: quaeritis me non quia vidistis signa, sed quia manducastis ex panibus, et saturati estis.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27 Operamini non cibum, qui perit, sed qui permanet in vitam aeternam, quem Filius hominis dabit vobis. Hunc enim Pater signavit Deus. (aiōnios g166)
Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Quid faciemus ut operemur opera Dei?
Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
29 Respondit Iesus, et dixit eis: Hoc est opus Dei, ut credatis in eum quem misit ille.
Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
30 Dixerunt ergo ei: Quod ergo tu facis signum ut videamus, et credamus tibi? quid operaris?
So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
31 Patres nostri manducaverunt manna in deserto, sicut scriptum est: Panem de caelo dedit eis manducare.
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: Non Moyses dedit vobis panem de caelo, sed Pater meus dat vobis panem de caelo verum.
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 Panis enim verus est, qui de caelo descendit, et dat vitam mundo.
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Domine, semper da nobis panem hunc.
“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
35 Dixit autem ei Iesus: Ego sum panis vitae: qui venit ad me, non esuriet: et qui credit in me, non sitiet in aeternum.
Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
36 Sed dixi vobis quia et vidistis me, et non credidistis.
But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
37 Omne quod dat mihi Pater, ad me veniet: et eum, qui venit ad me, non eiiciam foras:
Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
38 quia descendi de caelo, non ut faciam voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem eius, qui misit me.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
39 Haec est autem voluntas eius, qui misit me, Patris: ut omne, quod dedit mihi, non perdam ex eo, sed resuscitem illud in novissimo die.
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.
40 Haec est autem voluntas Patris mei, qui misit me: ut omnis, qui videt Filium, et credit in eum, habeat vitam aeternam, et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die. (aiōnios g166)
For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Murmurabant ergo Iudaei de illo, quia dixisset: Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi,
At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
42 et dicebant: Nonne hic est Iesus filius Ioseph, cuius nos novimus patrem, et matrem? Quomodo ergo dicit hic: Quia de caelo descendi?
They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”
43 Respondit ergo Iesus, et dixit eis: Nolite murmurare in invicem:
“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
44 nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum: et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 Est scriptum in Prophetis: Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei. Omnis, qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me.
It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
46 Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is, qui est a Deo, hic vidit Patrem.
not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ego sum panis vitae.
I am the bread of life.
49 Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
50 Hic est panis de caelo descendens: ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur.
This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi. Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum: et panis, quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” (aiōn g165)
52 Litigabant ergo Iudaei ad invicem, dicentes: Quomodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducandum?
At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: Nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis, et biberitis eius sanguinem, non habebitis vitam in vobis.
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
54 Qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem, habet vitam aeternam: et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Caro enim mea, vere est cibus: et sanguis meus, vere est potus.
For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
56 qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem, in me manet, et ego in illo.
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
57 Sicut misit me vivens Pater, et ego vivo propter Patrem: et qui manducat me, et ipse vivet propter me.
Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58 Hic est panis, qui de caelo descendit. Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna, et mortui sunt. Qui manducat hunc panem, vivet in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Haec dixit in synagoga docens, in Capharnaum.
Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60 Multi ergo audientes ex discipulis eius, dixerunt: Durus est hic sermo, et quis potest eum audire?
On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
61 Sciens autem Iesus apud semetipsum quia murmurarent de hoc discipuli eius, dixit eis: Hoc vos scandalizat?
Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
62 Si ergo videritis Filium hominis ascendentem ubi erat prius?
Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
63 Spiritus est, qui vivificat: caro non prodest quidquam. verba, quae ego locutus sum vobis, spiritus et vita sunt.
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64 Sed sunt quidam ex vobis, qui non credunt. Sciebat enim ab initio Iesus qui essent credentes, et quis traditurus esset eum.
However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)
65 Et dicebat: Propterea dixi vobis, quia nemo potest venire ad me, nisi fuerit ei datum a Patre meo.
Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
66 Ex hoc multi discipulorum eius abierunt retro: et iam non cum illo ambulabant.
From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
67 Dixit ergo Iesus ad duodecim: Numquid et vos vultis abire?
So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
68 Respondit ergo ei Simon Petrus: Domine, ad quem ibimus? verba vitae aeternae habes. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 et nos credimus, et cognovimus quia tu es Christus Filius Dei.
We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
70 Respondit eis Iesus: Nonne ego vos duodecim elegi: et ex vobis unus diabolus est?
Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
71 Dicebat autem de Iuda Simonis Iscariotis: hic enim erat traditurus eum, cum esset unus ex duodecim.
He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
