John 6:60-69

Listen to John 6:60-69

60 When the followers of Jesus heard this, many of them said, "This teaching is hard. Who can accept it?"

61 Knowing that his followers were complaining about this, Jesus said, "Does this teaching bother you?

62 Then will it also bother you to see the Son of Man going back to the place where he came from?

63 It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh doesn't give life. The words I told you are spirit, and they give life.

64 But some of you don't believe." (Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe and who would turn against him.)

65 Jesus said, "That is the reason I said, 'If the Father does not bring a person to me, that one cannot come.'"

66 After Jesus said this, many of his followers left him and stopped following him.

67 Jesus asked the twelve followers, "Do you want to leave, too?"

68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, where would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.

69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One from God."
