John 6:53-71 ▼

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless you may eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

54 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day.

55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.

56 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood abides in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father; truly the one eating me, shall also live through me.

58 He is the bread having come down from heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died: the one eating this bread shall live forever.

59 And He spoke these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

60 Then many of His disciples, hearing, said, This is a hard sermon; who is able to hear it?

61 And Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples are murmuring concerning it, said to them, Does this offend you?

62 If then you may see the Son of man ascending up, where He was formerly?

63 The Spirit is the One who creates life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and life.

64 But there are certain ones of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning that there are certain ones not believing, and there is one going to betray Him.

65 And He said, Therefore I have said unto you, that no one is able to come unto me, unless it may have been given unto him of the Father.

66 Moreover from this many of His disciples went back, and walked with Him no more.

67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also wish to go away?

68 Simon Peter responded to Him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life;

69 we have believed and we know that thou art the Holy One of God.

70 Jesus responded to them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is devilish?

71 But He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for he was going to betray Him, being one of the twelve.
