Yochanan 6:58-71 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

58. This is the lechem out of Shomayim having come down, not as the Avot ate and died; the one feeding on this lechem will live l'olam v'ed.

59. These things he said in a shul while teaching in K'far-Nachum.

60. Therefore, many of Moshiach's talmidim, having heard, said, Hard is this dvar Torah. Who is able to hear it? [YESHAYAH 53:1]

61. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da'as in himself that his talmidim are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause a michshol for you?

62. What if you behold the Ben HaAdam ascending where he was Bereshis?

63. The Ruach Hakodesh is that which is making alive, the basar does not profit anything. The dvarim which I have spoken to you are as Ruach and they are as Chayyim (Life).

64. But there are of you some who do not have emunah. For from Bereshis, he had da'as of whom are the ones not having emunah and who is the one betraying him.

65. And he was saying, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to me unless it has been given to him from HaAv.

66. From this time, many of his talmidim fell away and no longer followed him as talmidim.

67. Therefore, he said to the Sheneym Asar, Surely you do not want to depart also?

68. In reply, Shimon Kefa said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, to whom will we go? You have the divrei haChayyei Olam.

69. And we have bitachon and have trusted with emunah and we have da'as that you are HaKadosh of Hashem (the Holy One of G-d, YESHAYAH 49:7).

70. In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Did I not choose you Sheneym Asar (Twelve)? And is one of you not a Satan?

71. Now he was speaking of Yehudah Ben Shimon from K'riot, for, though he was one of the Sheneym Asar, this one was about to betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
