John 6:60-71 ▼

60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard [this] said, |This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?|

61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, |Does this cause you to stumble?

62 |[What] then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

63 |It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

64 |But there are some of you who do not believe.| For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

65 And He was saying, |For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.|

66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

67 So Jesus said to the twelve, |You do not want to go away also, do you?|

68 Simon Peter answered Him, |Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.

69 |We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.|

70 Jesus answered them, |Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and [yet] one of you is a devil?|

71 Now He meant Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.
