John 6

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 After these things Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee which is the Sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.

3 And Jesus went up onto a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 And when Jesus lifted up His eyes and saw a great company coming unto Him, He said unto Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

6 And this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

7 Philip answered Him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little."

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said unto Him,

9 "There is a lad here who hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?"

10 And Jesus said, "Make the men sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.

12 When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost."

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above, unto them that had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus had done, said, "This is in truth that Prophet who is coming into the world!"

15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force to make Him a king, He departed again onto a mountain alone.

16 And as evening had now come, His disciples went down unto the sea,

17 and entered into a boat and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing nigh unto the boat; and they were afraid.

20 But He said unto them, "It is I; be not afraid."

21 Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.

22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save the one into which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not gone with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone

23 (however there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks)"

24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took boats and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25 And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"

26 Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.

27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give unto you; for on Him hath God the Father set His seal."

28 Then said they unto Him, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe in Him whom He hath sent."

30 They said therefore unto Him, "What sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What works dost thou do?

31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written: `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

32 Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from Heaven, but My Father giveth you the true bread from Heaven.

33 For the bread of God is He that cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world."

34 Then they said unto Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread."

35 And Jesus said unto them, "I am the Bread of Life. He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you that ye also have seen Me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me, and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from Heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.

39 And this is the Father's will who hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the Last Day.

40 And this is the will of Him that sent Me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in Him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day."

41 The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, "I am the Bread which came down from Heaven."

42 And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, `I came down from Heaven'?"

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

44 No man can come to Me unless the Father who hath sent Me draw him; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

45 It is written in the Prophets: `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned from the Father cometh unto Me.

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He that is of God; He hath seen the Father.

47 Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life.

48 I am that Bread of Life.

49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.

51 I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever; and the Bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

53 Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

55 For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood dwelleth in Me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

58 This is that Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever."

59 These things said He in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

60 Many of His disciples therefore, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?"

61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, "Doth this offend you?

62 What if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before?

63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who believed not and who should betray Him.

65 And He said, "Therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto Me, unless it were given unto him by My Father."

66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.

67 Then Jesus said unto the twelve, "Will ye also go away?"

68 Then Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life,

69 and we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."

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

71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for he it was who should betray Him, 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.
