John 6:65-71

65 And He was saying, "For this reason I have 1said to you, that no one can come to Me unless * 2it has been granted him from the Father."

66 As a result of this many of His 3disciples 4withdrew * and were not walking with Him anymore.
67 So Jesus said to 5the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
68 6Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have 7words of eternal life.
69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are 8the Holy One of God."
70 Jesus answered them, "9Did I Myself not choose you, 10the twelve, and yet one of you is 11a devil?"
71 Now He meant Judas 12the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, 13one of 14the twelve, was going to betray Him.
