1. After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
5. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he said unto Philip,
6. And this he said to test him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said unto him,
9. There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10. And Jesus said,
11. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples,
13. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16. And when evening was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17. And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20. But he said unto them,
21. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
22. The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one into which his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23. (However there came other boats from Tiberias near unto the place where they did eat bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)
24. When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26. Jesus answered them and said,
27. Labor not for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for on him has God the Father set his seal.
28. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29. Jesus answered and said unto them,
30. They said therefore unto him, What sign do you show then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?
31. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32. Then Jesus said unto them,
33. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world.
34. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35. And Jesus said unto them,
36. But I said unto you, That you also have seen me, and believe not.
37. All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
38. For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39. And this is the Father's will who has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said,
42. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he said,
43. Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,
44. No man can come to me, except the Father who has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.
46. Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me has everlasting life.
48. I am that bread of life.
49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53. Then Jesus said unto them,
54. Whosoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56. He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.
57. As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eats me, even he shall live by me.
58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever.
59. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
61. When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them,
62. What if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63. It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64. But there are some of you that believe not.
65. And he said,
66. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve,
68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.
69. And we believe and are sure that you are that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70. Jesus answered them,
71. He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that would betray him, being one of the twelve.
