The Words of Eternal Life
60 1When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it? ”
61
But Jesus,
2knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this?
62
Then what if you were to see
3the Son of Man
4ascending to
5where he was before?
63
6It is the Spirit who gives life;
7the flesh is no help at all.
8The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64
But
9there are some of you who do not believe. ”(For Jesus
10knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and
11who it was who would betray him. )
65
And he said, “This is why I told you
12that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father. ”
