John 6 NLT
1 After this, Jesus crossed over to the
far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias.
2 A huge crowd kept following him wherever
he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick.
3Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with
his disciples around him.
4 (It was nearly time for the Jewish
Passover celebration.)
5 Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people
coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to
feed all these people?”
6 He was testing Philip, for he already
knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip replied, “Even if we worked for
months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!”
8 Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,
spoke up.
9 “There’s a young boy here with five
barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?”
10 “Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus said.
So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. (The men alone numbered about
5,000.)
11 Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks
to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the
fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.
12 After everyone was full, Jesus told his
disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”
13 So they picked up the pieces and filled
twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five
barley loaves.
14When the people saw him do this miraculous
sign, they exclaimed, “Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”
15 When Jesus saw that they were ready to
force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself.
16 That evening Jesus’ disciples went down
to the shore to wait for him.
17But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t
come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward
Capernaum.
18 Soon a gale swept down upon them, and
the sea grew very rough.
19 They had rowed three or four miles when
suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were
terrified,
20 but he called out to them, “Don’t be
afraid. I am here! ”
21 Then they were eager to let him in the
boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!
22 The next day the crowd that had stayed
on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they
realized Jesus had not gone with them.
23 Several boats from Tiberias landed near
the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten.
24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus
nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to
Capernaum to look for him.
25They found him on the other side of the lake
and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,
you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the
miraculous signs.
27 But don’t be so concerned about
perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that
the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his
approval.”
28 They replied, “We want to perform God’s
works, too. What should we do?”
29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work
God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
30 They answered, “Show us a miraculous
sign if you want us to believe in you. What can you do?
31 After all, our ancestors ate manna while
they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them
bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses
didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the
true bread from heaven.
33 The true bread of God is the one who
comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread
every day.”
35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will
never be thirsty.
36 But you haven’t believed in me even
though you have seen me.
37 However, those the Father has given me
will come to me, and I will never reject them.
38 For I have come down from heaven to do
the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.
39 And this is the will of God, that I
should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise
them up at the last day.
40For it is my Father’s will that all who see
his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at
the last day.”
41 Then the people began to murmur in
disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from
heaven.”
42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of
Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from
heaven’?”
43 But Jesus replied, “Stop complaining
about what I said.
44 For no one can come to me unless the
Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them
up.
45 As it is written in the Scriptures,
‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns
from him comes to me.
46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the
Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)
47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who
believes has eternal life.
48 Yes, I am the bread of life!
49 Your ancestors ate manna in the
wilderness, but they all died.
50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven,
however, will never die.
51 I am the living bread that came down
from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread,
which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”
52 Then the people began arguing with each
other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they
asked.
53 So Jesus said again, “I tell you the
truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you
cannot have eternal life within you.
54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is
true drink.
56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my
blood remains in me, and I in him.
57 I live because of the living Father who
sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
58 I am the true bread that came down from
heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even
though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”
59 He said these things while he was
teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60 Many of his disciples said, “This is
very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”
61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were
complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?
62 Then what will you think if you see the
Son of Man ascend to heaven again?
63 The Spirit alone gives eternal life.
Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are
spirit and life.
64 But some of you do not believe me.” (For
Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would
betray him.)
65Then he said, “That is why I said that people
can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me.”
66 At this point many of his disciples
turned away and deserted him.
67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and
asked, “Are you also going to leave?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom
would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.
69 We believe, and we know you are the Holy
One of God. ”
70 Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of
you, but one is a devil.”
71 He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon
Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him.
