Bespisningen af de 5000

1 Nogen tid efter sejlede Jesus og disciplene over til den østlige side af Galilæasøen, som også kaldes Tiberiassøen. (Matt 14,13; Mark 6,33; Luk 9,10) 2 En stor skare mennesker fulgte efter ham inde på bredden, fordi de havde set, hvordan han mirakuløst havde helbredt de syge. 3 Da de var gået i land, gik de op på en skråning, og der satte Jesus sig ned og begyndte at undervise disciplene. 4 (Der var kun få dage til den jødiske påskehøjtid.) 5 Da han kiggede op, så han, at en stor skare mennesker var på vej hen imod ham. Senere på dagen sagde han til Filip: „Hvor kan vi købe brød, så alle de her mennesker kan få noget at spise?” 6 Det sagde han for at udfordre Filips tro, for han vidste godt selv, hvad han ville gøre. 7 Filip svarede: „Selv om vi købte brød for 200 denarer, ville der kun blive en lille smule til hver.” 8 En anden discipel, Andreas, Simon Peters bror, sagde: 9 „Her er en dreng med fem bygbrød og to fisk. Men hvad er det til så mange mennesker?” 10 „Sig til folk, at de skal sætte sig ned,” sagde Jesus. Alle satte sig ned på den græsklædte skråning. Der var mere end 5000 mænd, foruden kvinder og børn. 11 Så tog Jesus brødene, takkede Gud og delte ud af dem. Det samme gjorde han med fiskene, 12 og alle spiste sig mætte. Så sagde han til disciplene: „Saml nu de stykker sammen, som er tilovers, så der ikke går noget til spilde.” 13 Det gjorde de, og det viste sig, at der var så meget brød tilovers fra de oprindelige fem bygbrød, at 12 kurve blev fyldt op. 14 Da det gik op for folk, hvilket under der var sket, udbrød de: „Han må være den Profet, som Gud har lovet at sende til os!” 15 Jesus var klar over, at de var opsat på at føre ham bort med magt og gøre ham til konge. Derfor trak han sig tilbage og gik længere op ad bjerget for at være alene.

Jesus kommer gående på vandet

16 Hen imod aften gik disciplene ned til søen. (Matt 14,22; Mark 6,45) 17 Da Jesus endnu ikke var kommet ved mørkets frembrud, gik de om bord i båden og satte kurs mod Kapernaum. 18 Inden længe begyndte det at blæse op, så de måtte kæmpe mod vinden og bølgerne. 19 Da de havde roet ca. fem kilometer, fik de pludselig øje på Jesus, der kom gående på vandet hen mod båden, og de blev skrækslagne. 20 „Det er mig,” råbte Jesus. „I skal ikke være bange!” 21 Så tog de ham op i båden, og straks efter gik de i land ved deres bestemmelsessted.

Jesus som det virkelige, livgivende brød

22 Næste morgen var der stadig mange mennesker samlet på den østlige side af søen. De havde lagt mærke til, at der kun havde været én båd, og at Jesus ikke var med om bord, da disciplene sejlede ud. 23 I mellemtiden var der kommet en del småbåde fra Tiberias, og de havde lagt til i nærheden af det sted, hvor bespisningsunderet var foregået. 24 Da folk nu opdagede, at hverken Jesus eller hans disciple var der, gik de om bord i bådene og sejlede over til Kapernaum for at lede efter ham dér. 25 Da de havde fundet ham, spurgte de: „Mester, hvordan er du kommet herover?” 26 Jesus svarede: „Det siger jeg jer: I søger mig, fordi I kunne spise jer mætte, ikke fordi I forstod betydningen af det under, jeg udførte. 27 Arbejd ikke for den mad, som forgår, men for den mad, som varer ved og giver evigt liv, det liv, som Faderen, Gud selv, har givet Menneskesønnen fuldmagt til at give jer.” 28 „Jamen, hvordan kan vi arbejde for Gud?” spurgte de. 29 Jesus svarede: „At arbejde for Gud vil sige at tro på den, han har sendt.” 30 Så spurgte de: „Hvilket tegn vil du give os, så vi kan tro dig? 31 Vores forfædre, der vandrede i ørkenen, fik jo sendt manna fra himlen, sådan som der står skrevet: ‚Han gav dem brød fra himlen at spise.’ ”^[1] (2.Mos 16,1; Salm 78,24) 32 Jesus svarede: „Det siger jeg jer: Det var ikke Moses, der gav dem brød. Det var min Far. Og han tilbyder jer nu det virkelige brød fra Himlen. 33 Guds brød er den, som kommer ned fra Himlen, den, som giver liv til mennesker.” 34 „Så giv os det brød hver dag!” sagde de alle sammen. 35 Jesus svarede: „Jeg er det brød, der giver liv. Ingen af dem, der kommer til mig, vil nogen sinde sulte; og den, der tror på mig, vil aldrig mere tørste. 36 Men som jeg har sagt jer før: I tror det ikke, selv om I har set mig. 37 Dog er der nogle, som vil komme til mig, nemlig alle dem, som Faderen giver mig, og dem vil jeg aldrig vise bort. 38 Jeg er jo kommet fra Himlen, ikke for at gøre det, jeg selv vil, men for at gøre det, min Far vil. 39 Og det er hans vilje, at jeg ikke skal miste en eneste af alle dem, han har givet mig. 40 Min Far vil nemlig, at alle, der ser Sønnen og tror på ham, skal have evigt liv, og at jeg skal oprejse dem fra de døde på den sidste dag.” 41 De jødiske ledere kunne ikke acceptere, at Jesus havde sagt, at han var kommet ned fra Himlen. 42 De stak hovederne sammen og hviskede til hinanden: „Det er jo Jesus, ham der er søn af Josef! Vi ved, hvem hans far og mor er. Hvad er det for noget snak, at han skulle være kommet ned fra Himlen?” 43 Men Jesus svarede: „Lad være med at stå der og skumle! 44 Ingen kan komme til mig, hvis ikke Faderen, som sendte mig, drager dem til mig, og på den sidste dag vil jeg opvække dem fra de døde. 45 Der står skrevet hos profeterne: ‚De vil alle blive undervist af Gud.’^[2] Alle, som har lyttet til Faderen og erkendt sandheden, vil komme til mig. (Es 54,13) 46 Det betyder ikke, at der er nogen, som har set Faderen, undtagen mig, som er kommet fra Gud. Jeg har set Faderen. 47 Det siger jeg jer: Den, der tror, har allerede fået det evige liv. 48 Jeg er det brød, der giver liv. 49 Det gav ikke jeres forfædre livet at spise det brød, der kom ned fra himlen under ørkenvandringen. 50 Det brød, jeg taler om, er kommet ned fra Himlen, for at alle kan få mulighed for at spise det. Og gør de det, skal de ikke dø. 51 Jeg er det livgivende brød, der er kommet ned fra Himlen. Alle, som spiser af det brød, skal leve i al evighed. Det brød er mit eget legeme, som jeg vil give til mennesker, for at de kan opnå det evige liv.” 52 Det udløste en heftig diskussion blandt de jødiske ledere. „Hvad mener han?” sagde de. „Hvordan kan han give os sit legeme at spise?” 53 Så sagde Jesus til dem: „Det siger jeg jer: Hvis ikke I spiser Menneskesønnens legeme og drikker hans blod, har I ikke evigt liv i jer! 54 Men de, der spiser mit legeme og drikker mit blod, har evigt liv, og jeg vil opvække dem på den sidste dag. 55 Mit legeme er den sande mad, og mit blod er den sande drik. 56 De, der spiser mit legeme og drikker mit blod, vil opleve et varigt fællesskab med mig. 57 Jeg lever i kraft af Gud, som har sendt mig, ham som er kilden til alt liv. På samme måde skal de, der spiser mig, leve i kraft af mig. 58 Jeres forfædre spiste manna, som kom ned fra himlen, men det gav dem ikke evigt liv. Anderledes er det med dem, der spiser af det brød, som nu er kommet ned fra Himlen—de skal leve til evig tid.” 59 Alt det her sagde Jesus, mens han underviste i synagogen i Kapernaum.

Nogle falder fra, andre holder fast

60 Selv mange af Jesu tilhængere begyndte at stikke hovederne sammen og sige til hinanden: „Nu er han gået for vidt. At sige sådan noget er helt uacceptabelt!” 61 Jesus var klar over, hvad det var, de mumlede om. „Er de ord, jeg her har talt, nok til, at I falder fra?” spurgte han. 62 „Hvad ville I da sige til at se Menneskesønnen stige op til Himlen, hvor han kom fra? 63 Det er kun Guds Ånd, der kan give åndeligt liv. Det liv kan man ikke få på menneskelig vis, men de ord, jeg har talt til jer, giver liv, fordi de kommer fra Guds Ånd. 64 Men nogle af jer tror ikke på mig.” Jesus vidste nemlig fra begyndelsen, hvem der ikke troede på ham, og at en af hans disciple ville forråde ham. 65 Han tilføjede: „Det var det, jeg mente, da jeg sagde, at ingen kan komme til mig, hvis ikke Faderen drager dem til mig.” 66 Derefter var der mange af Jesu tilhængere, der trak sig tilbage og ikke længere ville have noget med ham at gøre. 67 Så vendte Jesus sig til de Tolv og spurgte: „Går I også jeres vej?” 68 Simon Peter svarede: „Herre, hvor skulle vi gå hen? Du taler de ord, som giver evigt liv, 69 og vi er kommet til tro på og har erkendt, at du er Messias, Guds Søn!^[3]” 70 Da sagde Jesus: „Jeg har selv udvalgt jer 12, og alligevel er en af jer en djævel.” 71 Dermed hentydede han til Judas Iskariot, som senere forrådte ham, skønt han var en af de Tolv.

King James Version

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 nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove 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, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 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 even 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 see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 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, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou 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, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath 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 every one which seeth the Son, and believeth 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, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath 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 hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath 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 cometh 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 for ever: 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, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth 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 eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 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 an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth 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. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
