Die Speisung der Fünftausend

1 Danach ging Jesus weg ans andre Ufer des Galiläischen Meeres, das auch See von Tiberias heißt. (Mt 14,13; Mk 6,30; Lk 9,10) 2 Und es zog ihm viel Volk nach, weil sie die Zeichen sahen, die er an den Kranken tat. 3 Jesus aber ging hinauf auf einen Berg und setzte sich dort mit seinen Jüngern. 4 Es war aber kurz vor dem Passa, dem Fest der Juden. (Joh 2,13; Joh 11,55) 5 Da hob Jesus seine Augen auf und sieht, dass viel Volk zu ihm kommt, und spricht zu Philippus: Wo kaufen wir Brot, damit diese zu essen haben? 6 Das sagte er aber, um ihn zu prüfen; denn er wusste wohl, was er tun wollte. 7 Philippus antwortete ihm: Für zweihundert Silbergroschen Brot ist nicht genug für sie, dass jeder auch nur ein wenig bekomme. 8 Spricht zu ihm einer seiner Jünger, Andreas, der Bruder des Simon Petrus: 9 Es ist ein Knabe hier, der hat fünf Gerstenbrote und zwei Fische. Aber was ist das für so viele? 10 Jesus aber sprach: Lasst die Leute sich lagern. Es war aber viel Gras an dem Ort. Da lagerten sich etwa fünftausend Männer. 11 Jesus aber nahm die Brote, dankte und gab sie denen, die sich gelagert hatten; desgleichen auch von den Fischen, so viel sie wollten. 12 Als sie aber satt waren, spricht er zu seinen Jüngern: Sammelt die übrigen Brocken, damit nichts umkommt. 13 Da sammelten sie und füllten zwölf Körbe mit Brocken von den fünf Gerstenbroten, die denen übrig blieben, die gespeist worden waren. 14 Als nun die Menschen das Zeichen sahen, das Jesus tat, sprachen sie: Das ist wahrlich der Prophet, der in die Welt kommen soll. (5Mo 18,15; Joh 2,11) 15 Da Jesus nun merkte, dass sie kommen würden und ihn ergreifen, um ihn zum König zu machen, entwich er wieder auf den Berg, er allein.

Jesus geht über das Wasser

16 Am Abend aber gingen seine Jünger hinab an das Meer, (Mt 14,22; Mk 6,45) 17 stiegen in ein Boot und fuhren über das Meer nach Kapernaum. Und es war schon finster geworden und Jesus war noch nicht zu ihnen gekommen. 18 Und das Meer wurde aufgewühlt von einem starken Wind. 19 Als sie nun etwa fünfundzwanzig oder dreißig Stadien gerudert waren, sahen sie Jesus auf dem Meer gehen und nahe an das Boot kommen; und sie fürchteten sich. 20 Er aber spricht zu ihnen: Ich bin’s; fürchtet euch nicht! 21 Da wollten sie ihn ins Boot nehmen; und sogleich war das Boot am Land, wohin sie fahren wollten.

Das Brot des Lebens

22 Am nächsten Tag sah das Volk, das am andern Ufer des Meeres stand, dass kein anderes Boot da war als das eine und dass Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern in das Boot gestiegen war, sondern seine Jünger waren allein weggefahren. 23 Es kamen aber andere Boote von Tiberias nahe zu der Stätte, wo sie das Brot gegessen hatten, nachdem der Herr die Danksagung gesprochen hatte. 24 Als nun das Volk sah, dass Jesus nicht da war und seine Jünger auch nicht, stiegen sie in die Boote und kamen nach Kapernaum und suchten Jesus. 25 Und als sie ihn fanden am andern Ufer des Meeres, fragten sie ihn: Rabbi, wann bist du hergekommen? 26 Jesus antwortete ihnen und sprach: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Ihr sucht mich nicht, weil ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern weil ihr von dem Brot gegessen habt und satt geworden seid. 27 Müht euch nicht um Speise, die vergänglich ist, sondern um Speise, die da bleibt zum ewigen Leben. Die wird euch der Menschensohn geben; denn auf ihm ist das Siegel Gottes des Vaters. (Joh 5,36) 28 Da fragten sie ihn: Was sollen wir tun, dass wir Gottes Werke wirken? 29 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist Gottes Werk, dass ihr an den glaubt, den er gesandt hat. 30 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Was tust du für ein Zeichen, auf dass wir sehen und dir glauben? Was wirkst du? (Joh 4,48) 31 Unsre Väter haben Manna gegessen in der Wüste, wie geschrieben steht: »Brot vom Himmel gab er ihnen zu essen.« (2Mo 16,13) 32 Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Nicht Mose hat euch das Brot vom Himmel gegeben, sondern mein Vater gibt euch das wahre Brot vom Himmel. 33 Denn dies ist das Brot Gottes, das vom Himmel kommt und gibt der Welt das Leben. 34 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Herr, gib uns allezeit solches Brot. (Joh 4,15) 35 Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Ich bin das Brot des Lebens. Wer zu mir kommt, den wird nicht hungern; und wer an mich glaubt, den wird nimmermehr dürsten. (Joh 4,14; Joh 7,37) 36 Aber ich habe euch gesagt: Ihr habt mich gesehen und glaubt doch nicht. 37 Alles, was mir der Vater gibt, das kommt zu mir; und wer zu mir kommt, den werde ich nicht hinausstoßen. (Mt 11,28) 38 Denn ich bin vom Himmel gekommen, nicht damit ich meinen Willen tue, sondern den Willen dessen, der mich gesandt hat. (Joh 4,34) 39 Das ist aber der Wille dessen, der mich gesandt hat, dass ich nichts verliere von allem, was er mir gegeben hat, sondern dass ich’s auferwecke am Jüngsten Tage. (Joh 10,28; Joh 17,12) 40 Denn das ist der Wille meines Vaters, dass, wer den Sohn sieht und glaubt an ihn, das ewige Leben habe; und ich werde ihn auferwecken am Jüngsten Tage. (Joh 5,29; Joh 11,24) 41 Da murrten die Juden über ihn, weil er sagte: Ich bin das Brot, das vom Himmel gekommen ist, 42 und sprachen: Ist dieser nicht Jesus, Josefs Sohn, dessen Vater und Mutter wir kennen? Wie kann er jetzt sagen: Ich bin vom Himmel gekommen? (Lk 4,22) 43 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Murrt nicht untereinander. 44 Es kann niemand zu mir kommen, es sei denn, ihn ziehe der Vater, der mich gesandt hat, und ich werde ihn auferwecken am Jüngsten Tage. 45 Es steht geschrieben in den Propheten: »Sie werden alle von Gott gelehrt sein.« Wer es vom Vater hört und lernt, der kommt zu mir. 46 Nicht dass jemand den Vater gesehen hätte; nur der, der von Gott ist, der hat den Vater gesehen. (Joh 1,18) 47 Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer glaubt, der hat das ewige Leben. (Joh 3,16) 48 Ich bin das Brot des Lebens. 49 Eure Väter haben in der Wüste das Manna gegessen und sind gestorben. (1Kor 10,3) 50 Dies ist das Brot, das vom Himmel kommt, damit, wer davon isst, nicht sterbe. 51 Ich bin das lebendige Brot, das vom Himmel gekommen ist. Wer von diesem Brot isst, der wird leben in Ewigkeit. Und das Brot, das ich geben werde, ist mein Fleisch – für das Leben der Welt. (Mk 14,22) 52 Da stritten die Juden untereinander und sprachen: Wie kann dieser uns sein Fleisch zu essen geben? 53 Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wenn ihr nicht esst das Fleisch des Menschensohns und trinkt sein Blut, so habt ihr kein Leben in euch. 54 Wer mein Fleisch isst und mein Blut trinkt, der hat das ewige Leben, und ich werde ihn am Jüngsten Tage auferwecken. (Mt 26,26) 55 Denn mein Fleisch ist die wahre Speise, und mein Blut ist der wahre Trank. 56 Wer mein Fleisch isst und trinkt mein Blut, der bleibt in mir und ich in ihm. (Joh 15,4; 1Joh 3,24) 57 Wie mich gesandt hat der lebendige Vater und ich lebe um des Vaters willen, so wird auch, wer mich isst, leben um meinetwillen. 58 Dies ist das Brot, das vom Himmel gekommen ist. Es ist nicht wie bei den Vätern, die gegessen haben und gestorben sind. Wer dies Brot isst, der wird leben in Ewigkeit. 59 Das sagte er in der Synagoge, als er in Kapernaum lehrte.

Spaltung unter den Jüngern und das Bekenntnis des Petrus

60 Viele nun seiner Jünger, die das hörten, sprachen: Das ist eine harte Rede; wer kann sie hören? 61 Da Jesus aber bei sich selbst merkte, dass seine Jünger darüber murrten, sprach er zu ihnen: Nehmt ihr daran Anstoß? 62 Wie, wenn ihr nun sehen werdet den Menschensohn auffahren dahin, wo er zuvor war? (Lk 24,50; Joh 3,13) 63 Der Geist ist’s, der da lebendig macht; das Fleisch^[1] ist nichts nütze. Die Worte, die ich zu euch geredet habe, die sind Geist und sind Leben. (Joh 3,6; 2Kor 3,6) 64 Aber es sind etliche unter euch, die glauben nicht. Denn Jesus wusste von Anfang an, wer die waren, die nicht glaubten, und wer ihn verraten würde. 65 Und er sprach: Darum habe ich euch gesagt: Niemand kann zu mir kommen, es sei ihm denn vom Vater gegeben. 66 Von da an wandten sich viele seiner Jünger ab und gingen hinfort nicht mehr mit ihm. 67 Da sprach Jesus zu den Zwölfen: Wollt ihr auch weggehen? 68 Da antwortete ihm Simon Petrus: Herr, wohin sollen wir gehen? Du hast Worte des ewigen Lebens; 69 und wir haben geglaubt und erkannt: Du bist der Heilige Gottes. (Mt 16,16) 70 Jesus antwortete ihnen: Habe ich nicht euch Zwölf erwählt? Und einer von euch ist ein Teufel. 71 Er redete aber von Judas, dem Sohn des Simon Iskariot. Der verriet ihn hernach und war einer der Zwölf.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. (Mt 4,18; Mt 14,13; Mk 6,32; Lk 9,10; Joh 21,1)

Mt 4,18Mt 14,13Mk 6,32Lk 9,10Joh 21,1

2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. (Joh 6,15) 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. (Joh 2,13; Joh 5,1; Joh 7,2; Joh 11,55)

Joh 2,13Joh 5,1Joh 7,2Joh 11,55

5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” (Lk 6,20; Joh 1,44) 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii^[1] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” (Mk 6,37) 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, (Joh 1,40; Joh 1,44) 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?” (2Kön 4,42) 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. (Mk 6,39) 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. (Mt 15,36; Joh 6,23) 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!” (Mt 11,3; Mt 21,11; Joh 1,21; Joh 4,19; Joh 7,40; Joh 11,27)

Mt 11,3Mt 21,11Joh 1,21Joh 4,19Joh 7,40Joh 11,27

15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself. (Mt 8,18; Mt 14,22; Mk 6,45; Joh 6,3; Joh 12,12)

Mt 8,18Mt 14,22Mk 6,45Joh 6,3Joh 12,12

Jesus Walks on Water

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,^[2] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” (Lk 24,38) 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

I Am the Bread of Life

22 On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. (Joh 21,8) 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. (Joh 6,11) 24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. (Mt 14,34; Mk 6,53; Joh 6,17; Joh 6,59)

Mt 14,34Mk 6,53Joh 6,17Joh 6,59

25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” (Joh 1,38) 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. (Joh 6,2; Joh 6,24) 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” (Jes 55,2; Hes 9,4; Dan 7,13; Joh 3,33; Joh 5,36; Joh 6,35; Joh 6,50; Joh 6,54; Joh 6,58; Joh 10,36; Röm 4,11; 1Kor 9,2; 2Tim 2,19)

Jes 55,2Hes 9,4Dan 7,13Joh 3,33Joh 5,36Joh 6,35Joh 6,50Joh 6,54Joh 6,58Joh 10,36Röm 4,111Kor 9,22Tim 2,19

28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” (1Kor 15,58; Offb 2,26) 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” (Joh 3,17; 1Joh 3,23) 30 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? (Mt 12,38) 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” (2Mo 16,15; 4Mo 11,7; Neh 9,15; Ps 78,24; Ps 105,40; Joh 6,49; Joh 6,58; 1Kor 10,3)

2Mo 16,154Mo 11,7Neh 9,15Ps 78,24Ps 105,40Joh 6,49Joh 6,581Kor 10,3

32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” (Joh 6,50) 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” (Joh 4,15; Joh 4,33) 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. (Mt 11,28; Joh 4,14; Joh 5,40; Joh 6,41; Joh 6,48; Joh 6,51; Joh 6,58; Joh 7,37; Offb 7,16)

Mt 11,28Joh 4,14Joh 5,40Joh 6,41Joh 6,48Joh 6,51Joh 6,58Joh 7,37Offb 7,16

36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. (Joh 6,39; Joh 10,28; Joh 10,29; Joh 17,2; Joh 17,6; Joh 17,9; Joh 17,12; Joh 17,24)

Joh 6,39Joh 10,28Joh 10,29Joh 17,2Joh 17,6Joh 17,9Joh 17,12Joh 17,24

38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. (Joh 3,13; Joh 4,34; Joh 5,30) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. (Mt 18,14; Joh 6,37; Joh 6,40; Joh 6,44; Joh 6,54; Joh 10,28; Joh 11,25; Joh 17,12; Joh 18,9; 1Kor 6,14)

Mt 18,14Joh 6,37Joh 6,40Joh 6,44Joh 6,54Joh 10,28Joh 11,25Joh 17,12Joh 18,91Kor 6,14

40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” (Joh 3,15; Joh 4,14; Joh 6,27; Joh 6,47; Joh 6,54; Joh 12,45; Joh 14,17; Joh 14,19)

Joh 3,15Joh 4,14Joh 6,27Joh 6,47Joh 6,54Joh 12,45Joh 14,17Joh 14,19

41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” (Joh 6,33; Joh 6,35; Joh 6,38) 42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” (Mt 13,55; Joh 1,45; Joh 7,27) 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (Jer 31,3; Hos 11,4; Joh 4,23; Joh 6,39; Joh 6,65; Joh 12,32)

Jer 31,3Hos 11,4Joh 4,23Joh 6,39Joh 6,65Joh 12,32

45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— (Jes 54,13; Jer 31,33; Joh 6,37; 1Kor 2,13; 1Thess 4,9; Hebr 8,10; 1Joh 2,20)

Jes 54,13Jer 31,33Joh 6,371Kor 2,131Thess 4,9Hebr 8,101Joh 2,20

46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. (Joh 1,18; Joh 3,32; Joh 7,29; Joh 8,38)

Joh 1,18Joh 3,32Joh 7,29Joh 8,38

47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. (Joh 3,36) 48 I am the bread of life. (Joh 6,35) 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. (Joh 6,31; Joh 6,58) 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. (Joh 6,33; Joh 6,51; Joh 6,58) 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (Lk 22,19; Joh 1,14; Joh 3,13; Joh 6,53; Joh 6,57)

Lk 22,19Joh 1,14Joh 3,13Joh 6,53Joh 6,57

52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” (Joh 3,9; Joh 6,60; Joh 9,16; Joh 10,19)

Joh 3,9Joh 6,60Joh 9,16Joh 10,19

53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. (Joh 6,27; Joh 20,31) 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. (Joh 6,39; Joh 6,40) 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. (Joh 15,4; 1Joh 3,24; 1Joh 4,13; 1Joh 4,15)

Joh 15,41Joh 3,241Joh 4,131Joh 4,15

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. (Mt 16,16; Joh 3,17; Joh 5,26; Joh 11,25; Offb 1,18)

Mt 16,16Joh 3,17Joh 5,26Joh 11,25Offb 1,18

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread^[3] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” (Joh 6,31; Joh 6,33; Joh 6,49) 59 Jesus^[4] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. (Joh 6,24)

The Words of Eternal Life

60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” (Joh 6,64; Joh 6,66) 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? (Joh 2,24) 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? (Mk 16,19; Joh 3,13; Joh 6,27; Joh 17,5)

Mk 16,19Joh 3,13Joh 6,27Joh 17,5

63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (Joh 3,6; Joh 6,68; 1Kor 15,45; 2Kor 3,6)

Joh 3,6Joh 6,681Kor 15,452Kor 3,6

64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) (Joh 6,61; Joh 6,66; Joh 6,71; Joh 13,11)

Joh 6,61Joh 6,66Joh 6,71Joh 13,11

65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” (Joh 3,27; Joh 6,44) 66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. (Joh 6,60; Joh 6,64) 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” (Joh 6,70) 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, (Joh 12,50; Joh 17,8; Apg 5,20) 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” (Mk 1,24; Joh 1,49; Joh 11,27; 1Joh 4,16)

Mk 1,24Joh 1,49Joh 11,271Joh 4,16

70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” (Joh 6,67; Joh 13,2; Joh 13,18; Joh 13,27; Joh 17,12)

Joh 6,67Joh 13,2Joh 13,18Joh 13,27Joh 17,12

71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him. (Joh 6,64; Joh 6,67; Joh 13,26)

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.
