John 6

The Darby Translation DBY

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,

2 and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:

4 but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

6 But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

9 There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

10 [And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

12 And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

13 They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

14 The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

15 Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

16 But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

17 and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

18 and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

19 Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

20 But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.

22 On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his disciples had gone away alone;

23 (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

24 when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25 And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.

27 Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God.

28 They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent.

30 They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

32 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, [It is] not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

34 They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.

35 [And] Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time.

36 But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.

37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.

38 For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my* will, but the will of him that has sent me.

39 And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.

40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven?

43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

44 No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and has learned [of him], comes to me;

46 not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

47 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal.

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.

50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

51 I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

53 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

55 for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

57 As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

58 This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.

59 These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

60 Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?

61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?

62 If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?

63 It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would deliver him up.

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.

66 From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.

67 Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?

68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast words of life eternal;

69 and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.

70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.

71 Now he spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon, Iscariote, for he [it was who] should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Jesus later crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or the Sea of Tiberias).

2 A large crowd followed him because they saw the miracles that he performed for the sick.

3 Jesus went up a mountain and sat with his disciples.

4 The time for the Jewish Passover festival was near.

5 As Jesus saw a large crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

6 Jesus asked this question to test him. He already knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered, "We would need about a year's wages to buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece."

8 One of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

9 "A boy who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish is here. But they won't go very far for so many people."

10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." The people had plenty of grass to sit on. (There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.)

11 Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same thing with the fish. All the people ate as much as they wanted.

12 When the people were full, Jesus told his disciples, "Gather the leftover pieces so that nothing will be wasted."

13 The disciples gathered the leftover pieces of bread and filled twelve baskets.

14 When the people saw the miracle Jesus performed, they said, "This man is certainly the prophet who is to come into the world."

15 Jesus realized that the people intended to take him by force and make him king. So he returned to the mountain by himself.

16 When evening came, his disciples went to the sea.

17 They got into a boat and started to cross the sea to the city of Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18 A strong wind started to blow and stir up the sea.

19 After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they became terrified.

20 Jesus told them, "It's me. Don't be afraid!"

21 So they were willing to help Jesus into the boat. Immediately, the boat reached the shore where they were going.

22 On the next day the people were still on the other side of the sea. They noticed that only one boat was there and that Jesus had not stepped into that boat with his disciples. The disciples had gone away without him.

23 Other boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

24 When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to the city of Capernaum to look for Jesus.

25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

26 Jesus replied to them, "I can guarantee this truth: You're not looking for me because you saw miracles. You are looking for me because you ate as much of those loaves as you wanted.

27 Don't work for food that spoils. Instead, work for the food that lasts into eternal life. This is the food the Son of Man will give you. After all, the Father has placed his seal of approval on him."

28 The people asked Jesus, "What does God want us to do?"

29 Jesus replied to them, "God wants to do something for you so that you believe in the one whom he has sent."

30 The people asked him, "What miracle are you going to perform so that we can see it and believe in you? What are you going to do?

31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the desert. Scripture says, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

32 Jesus said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Moses didn't give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 God's bread is the man who comes from heaven and gives life to the world."

34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."

35 Jesus told them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.

36 I've told you that you have seen me. However, you don't believe in me.

37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me.

38 I haven't come from heaven to do what I want to do. I've come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.

39 The one who sent me doesn't want me to lose any of those he gave me. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.

40 My Father wants all those who see the Son and believe in him to have eternal life. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day."

41 The Jews began to criticize Jesus for saying, "I am the bread that came from heaven."

42 They asked, "Isn't this man Jesus, Joseph's son? Don't we know his father and mother? How can he say now, 'I came from heaven'?"

43 Jesus responded, "Stop criticizing me!

44 People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them to me. I will bring these people back to life on the last day.

45 The prophets wrote, 'God will teach everyone.' Those who do what they have learned from the Father come to me.

46 I'm saying that no one has seen the Father. Only the one who is from God has seen the Father.

47 I can guarantee this truth: Every believer has eternal life.

48 "I am the bread of life.

49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert and died.

50 This is the bread that comes from heaven so that whoever eats it won't die.

51 I am the living bread that came from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. The bread I will give to bring life to the world is my flesh."

52 The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

53 Jesus told them, "I can guarantee this truth: If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have the source of life in you.

54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day.

55 My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.

57 The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me.

58 This is the bread that came from heaven. It is not like the bread your ancestors ate. They eventually died. Those who eat this bread will live forever."

59 Jesus said this while he was teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum.

60 When many of Jesus' disciples heard him, they said, "What he says is hard to accept. Who wants to listen to him anymore?"

61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were criticizing his message. So Jesus asked them, "Did what I say make you lose faith?

62 What if you see the Son of Man go where he was before?

63 Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn't contribute to that life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. They are life.

64 But some of you don't believe." Jesus knew from the beginning those who wouldn't believe and the one who would betray him.

65 So he added, "That is why I told you that people cannot come to me unless the Father provides the way."

66 Jesus' speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Jesus.

67 So Jesus asked the twelve apostles, "Do you want to leave me too?"

68 Simon Peter answered Jesus, "Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life.

69 Besides, we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."

70 Jesus replied, "I chose all twelve of you. Yet, one of you is a devil."

71 Jesus meant Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Judas, who was one of the twelve apostles, would later betray Jesus.
