John 6:61-71

61 But Jesus, 1conscious * * that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this 2cause you to stumble?
62 "What then if you see 3the Son of Man 4ascending to where He was before?
63 "5It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; 6the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64 "But there are 7some of you who do not believe." For Jesus 8knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and 9who it was that would betray Him.
65 And He was saying, "For this reason I have 10said to you, that no one can come to Me unless * 11it has been granted him from the Father."

Peter's Confession of Faith

66 As a result of this many of His 12disciples 13withdrew * and were not walking with Him anymore.
67 So Jesus said to 14the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
68 15Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have 16words of eternal life.
69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are 17the Holy One of God."
70 Jesus answered them, "18Did I Myself not choose you, 19the twelve, and yet one of you is 20a devil?"
71 Now He meant Judas 21the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, 22one of 23the twelve, was going to betray Him.
