John 6:62-71

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

Peter's Confession of Faith

66 As a result of this many of His 10disciples 11withdrew * and were not walking with Him anymore.
67 So Jesus said to 12the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
68 13Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have 14words of eternal life.
69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are 15the Holy One of God."
70 Jesus answered them, "16Did I Myself not choose you, 17the twelve, and yet one of you is 18a devil?"
71 Now He meant Judas 19the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, 20one of 21the twelve, was going to betray Him.
