On hearing it, many of his disciples1 said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"261
Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?362What if you see the Son of Man4 ascend to where he was before!563The Spirit gives life;6 the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirita and they are life.64Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known7 from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.865
