John 6

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 After these things, Yeshua went away to the other side of the sea of the Galil, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

3 Yeshua went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his talmidim.

4 Now the Pesach, the feast of the Yehudim, was at hand.

5 Yeshua therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Pilipos, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

6 This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Pilipos answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

8 One of his talmidim, Andrai, Shim`on Kefa's brother, said to him,

9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

10 Yeshua said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 Yeshua took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the talmidim, and the talmidim to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

12 When they were filled, he said to his talmidim, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."

13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Yeshua did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

15 Yeshua therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain by himself.

16 When evening came, his talmidim went down to the sea,

17 and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Kafar-Nachum. It was now dark, and Yeshua had not come to them.

18 The sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Yeshua walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

20 But he said to them, "I AM. Don't be afraid."

21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his talmidim had embarked, and that Yeshua hadn't entered with his talmidim into the boat, but his talmidim went away alone.

23 However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24 When the multitude therefore saw that Yeshua wasn't there, nor his talmidim, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Kafar-Nachum, seeking Yeshua.

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

26 Yeshua answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

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

29 Yeshua answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

30 They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

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

32 Yeshua therefore said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, it wasn't Moshe who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

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

35 Yeshua said to them. "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet don't believe.

37 All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

41 The Yehudim therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

42 They said, "Isn't this Yeshua, the son of Yosef, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

43 Therefore Yeshua answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.

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

45 It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

47 Most assuredly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

48 I am the bread of life.

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

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

51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."

52 The Yehudim therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

53 Yeshua therefore said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

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

55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

59 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Kafar-Nachum.

60 Therefore many of his talmidim, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can hear it?"

61 But Yeshua knowing in himself that his talmidim murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

62 What if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

64 But there are some of you who don't believe." For Yeshua knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

65 He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

66 At this, many of his talmidim went back, and walked no more with him.

67 Yeshua said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?"

68 Shim`on Kefa answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

70 He answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

71 Now he spoke of Yehudah, the son of Shim`on Ish-K'riot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

The Message Bible MSG

1 After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee (some call it Tiberias).

2 A huge crowd followed him, attracted by the miracles they had seen him do among the sick.

3 When he got to the other side, he climbed a hill and sat down, surrounded by his disciples.

4 It was nearly time for the Feast of Passover, kept annually by the Jews.

5 When Jesus looked out and saw that a large crowd had arrived, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread to feed these people?"

6 He said this to stretch Philip's faith. He already knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered, "Two hundred silver pieces wouldn't be enough to buy bread for each person to get a piece."

8 One of the disciples - it was Andrew, brother to Simon Peter - said,

9 "There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But that's a drop in the bucket for a crowd like this."

10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." There was a nice carpet of green grass in this place. They sat down, about five thousand of them.

11 Then Jesus took the bread and, having given thanks, gave it to those who were seated. He did the same with the fish. All ate as much as they wanted.

12 When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted."

13 They went to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five barley loaves.

14 The people realized that God was at work among them in what Jesus had just done. They said, "This is the Prophet for sure, God's Prophet right here in Galilee!"

15 Jesus saw that in their enthusiasm, they were about to grab him and make him king, so he slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by himself.

16 In the evening his disciples went down to the sea,

17 got in the boat, and headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and Jesus had not yet returned.

18 A huge wind blew up, churning the sea.

19 They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless,

20 but he reassured them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid."

21 So they took him on board. In no time they reached land - the exact spot they were headed to.

22 The next day the crowd that was left behind realized that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with his disciples. They had seen them go off without him.

23 By now boats from Tiberias had pulled up near where they had eaten the bread blessed by the Master.

24 So when the crowd realized he was gone and wasn't coming back, they piled into the Tiberias boats and headed for Capernaum, looking for Jesus.

25 When they found him back across the sea, they said, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

26 Jesus answered, "You've come looking for me not because you saw God in my actions but because I fed you, filled your stomachs - and for free.

27 "Don't waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last."

28 To that they said, "Well, what do we do then to get in on God's works?"

29 Jesus said, "Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God's works."

30 They waffled: "Why don't you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what's going on? When we see what's up, we'll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do.

31 Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

32 Jesus responded, "The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.

33 The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world."

34 They jumped at that: "Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"

35 Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.

36 I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me.

37 Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go.

38 I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.

39 "This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed - not a single detail missed - and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.

40 This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time."

41 At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him:

42 "Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? How can he now say, 'I came down out of heaven' and expect anyone to believe him?"

43 Jesus said, "Don't bicker among yourselves over me.

44 You're not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me - that's the only way you'll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.

45 This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, 'And then they will all be personally taught by God.' Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to me to be taught personally - to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from me, since I have it firsthand from the Father.

46 No one has seen the Father except the One who has his Being alongside the Father - and you can see me.

47 "I'm telling you the most solemn and sober truth now: Whoever believes in me has real life, eternal life.

48 I am the Bread of Life.

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

50 But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever.

51 I am the Bread - living Bread! - who came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this Bread will live - and forever! The Bread that I present to the world so that it can eat and live is myself, this flesh-and-blood self."

52 At this, the Jews started fighting among themselves: "How can this man serve up his flesh for a meal?"

53 But Jesus didn't give an inch. "Only insofar as you eat and drink flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the Son of Man, do you have life within you.

54 The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day.

55 My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

56 By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you.

57 In the same way that the fully alive Father sent me here and I live because of him, so the one who makes a meal of me lives because of me.

58 This is the Bread from heaven. Your ancestors ate bread and later died. Whoever eats this Bread will live always."

59 He said these things while teaching in the meeting place in Capernaum.

60 Many among his disciples heard this and said, "This is tough teaching, too tough to swallow."

61 Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, "Does this throw you completely?

62 What would happen if you saw the Son of Man ascending to where he came from?

63 The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don't make anything happen. Every word I've spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making.

64 But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this." (Jesus knew from the start that some weren't going to risk themselves with him. He knew also who would betray him.)

65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father."

66 After this a lot of his disciples left. They no longer wanted to be associated with him.

67 Then Jesus gave the Twelve their chance: "Do you also want to leave?"

68 Peter replied, "Master, to whom would we go? You have the words of real life, eternal life.

69 We've already committed ourselves, confident that you are the Holy One of God."

70 Jesus responded, "Haven't I handpicked you, the Twelve? Still, one of you is a devil!"

71 He was referring to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. This man - one from the Twelve! - was even then getting ready to betray him.
