1 After these things Jesus went over 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 them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove 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, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which 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 them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 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 did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come 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 into a mountain himself alone. 16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, 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 did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour 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 him hath God the Father sealed. 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 on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat 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 which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they 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 on 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 which 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 which seeth the Son, and believeth on 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, except the Father which 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 be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat 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, Except 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 did eat 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 therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an 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 and 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 that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus 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 spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

1 Pärast seda läks Jeesus Tibeeria poolt Galilea mere teisele poole.

2 ja palju rahvast järgis Teda, sest nad nägid Tema imetähti, mida Ta tegi haigete juures.

3 Aga Jeesus läks üles mäele ja istus sinna Oma jüngritega.

4 Ja paasa, juutide püha, oli ligi.

5 Kui nüüd Jeesus Oma silmad üle tõstis ja nägi palju rahvast enese juure tulevat, ütles Ta Filippusele: „Kust me ostame leiba, et need saaksid süüa?"

6 Ent seda Ta ütles teda kiusates, sest Ta teadis küll, mida Ta tahtis teha.

7 Filippus vastas Talle: „Leibu kahesaja teenari eest ei jätku neile, et igaüks natukesegi võtaks!"

8 Ūks Tema jüngritest, Andreas, Siimon Peetruse vend, ütleb Talle:

9

10 Jeesus ütles: „Asetage inimesed maha istuma!" Ja seal paigas oli palju rohtu. Siis asetusid maha arvult umbes viis tuhat meest!

11 Jeesus võttis nüüd leivad, tänas ja, andis neile, kes maas istusid, samuti kai neist kalukesist, niipalju kui nad tahtsid.

12 Aga kui nende kõhud olid täis saanud, ütles Ta oma jüngritele: „Koguge ülejäänud palukesed kokku, et midagi ei läheks raisku!"

13 Siis nad kogusid kokku kaksteistkümmend korvitäit palukesi, mis oli üle jäänud viiest odraleivas nendelt, kes olid söönud.

14 Kui nüüd rahvas nägi tunnustähte, mille Jeesus oli teinud, ütlesid nad: „See on tõesti Prohvet, kes maailma pidi tulema!"

15 Siis Jeesus sai aru, et nad tahavad tulla ja Teda vägisi võtta ning teha kuningaks. Ja Ta läks jälle kõrvale mäe ainuüksi.16. Aga kui õhtu tuli, läksid Tema jüngrid mereranda

16

17 ja astusid paati ja tulid teisele poole merd Kapernauma. Aga pimedus oli juba käes ja Jeesus ei olnud veel tulnud nende juure.

18 Ja meri hakkas lainetama, sest suur tuul puhus.

19 Kui nad nüüd olid sõudnud umbes kakskümmend viis või kolmkümmend vagu maad, nägid nad Jeesust merel kõndivat ja paadi lähedale jõudvat, ja nad lõid kartma.

20 Aga Tema ütles neile: „Mina olen see, ärge kartke!"

21 Nüüd nad tahtsid Teda paati võtta, ja varsti sai paat sinna randa, kuhu nad sõitsid.

22 Järgmisel päeval nägi rahvas, kes viibis mere teisel rannal, et teist lootsikut ei olnud seal, vaid oli ainult üks, ja et Jeesus ei olnud astunud ühes Oma jüngritega paati, vaid et ainult Tema jüngrid olid ära läinud.

23 Oli aga tulnud veel lootsikuid Tibeeriast selle paiga lähedale, kus nad olid leiba söönud, kui Issand oli Jumalat tänanud.

24 Kui nüüd rahvas nägi, et seal ei olnud Jeesust ega Tema jüngreid, läksid nad lootsikusse ja tulid Kapernauma ning otsisid Jeesust.

25 Ja kui nad Ta leidsid mere teiselt rannalt, ütlesid nad Talle: „Rabi, millal Sa siia said?"26. Jeesus vastas neile ning ütles: „Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile, et te ei otsi Mind, sellepärast et te nägite tunnustähti, vaid et te sõite leiba ja teie kõhud said täis!

26

27 Ärge hankige rooga, mis hävib, vaid rooga, mis jääb igaveseks eluks, mida Inimese Poeg tahab teile anda, sest Teda on Jumal Isa pitseriga kinnitanud!"

28 Siis ütlesid nad Temale: „Mis me peame tegema, et võiksime teha Jumala tegusid?"

29 Jeesus vastas ning ütles neile: „See on Jumala tegu, et te usute Temasse, Kelle Ta on läkitanud!"

30 Siis nad ütlesid Temale: „Mis tunnustähe sa Siis teed, et me näeksime ja usuksime Sind? Mis Sa teed?

31 Meie esiisad sõid kõrves mannat, nagu on kirjutatud: Ta andis neile süüa leiba taevast!"

32 Siis Jeesus ütles neile: „Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile! Mooses ei annud teile leiba taevast, aga Minu Isa annab teile tõelise leiva taevast!

33 Sest Jumala leib on see, kes tuleb taevast alla ja annab maailmale elu!"

34 Siis nad ütlesid Talle: „Issand, anna meile ikka seda leiba!"

35

36 Aga Mina olen teile ütelnud, et te olete Mind näinud ega usu mitte!

37 Kõik, mis Isa Minule annab, tuleb Minu juure, ja kes Minu juure tuleb, seda Ma ei lükka välja.

38 Sest Ma olen taevast alla tulnud mitte Oma tahtmist tegema, vaid Selle tahtmist, Kes Mind on läkitänud.

39 Aga see on Selle tahtmine, Kes Mind on läkitanud, et Ma ühtki ei kaota sellest kõigest, mis Ta Minule on annud, vaid et Ma selle üles äratan viimsel päeval.

40 Sest see on Mu Isa tahtmine, et igaühel, kes Poega näeb ja Temasse usub, on igavene elu, ja Ma äratan tema üles viimsel päeval!"41. Siis nurisesid juudid Tema üle, et Ta oli ütelnud: „Mina olen leib, mis taevast on alla tulnud!"

41

42 Ja nad ütlesid: „Eks see ole Jeesus, Joosepi poeg, Kelle isa ja Ema me tunneme? Kuidas Ta siis ütleb: Ma olen tulnud taevast?"

43 Jeesus vastas ning ütles neile: „Ärge nurisege isekeskis!

44 Ūkski ei või tulla Minu juure, kui teda ei tõmba Isa, kes Mind on läkitanud; ja Mina äratan tema üles viimsel päeval.

45 Prohvetite raamatuis on kirjutatud: Nad kõik peavad olema Jumala poolt õpetatud! Igaüks, kes on Isalt kuulnud ja on õppinud, tuleb Minu juure.

46 Mitte, et keegi teine oleks näinud Isa kui See, Kes on Jumala juurest; See on näinud Isa.

47 Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile: Kes usub, sellel on igavene elu!

48 Mina olen Eluleib.

49 Teie esiisad sõid kõrves mannat ja surid.

50 See on leib, mis taevast alla tuleb, et inimene seda sööks ega sureks.

51 Mina olen elav leib, mis taevast on alla tulnud. Kui keegi sööb seda leiba, siis ta elab igavesti; ja leib, mille Mina annan, on Minu Liha, mille annan maailma elu eest !„

52 Siis riidlesid juudid isekeskis, üteldes: „Kuidas see võib meile anda Oma Liha süüa?"

53 Siis Jeesus ütles neile: „Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile, et kui te ei söö Inimese Poja Liha ega joo Tema Verd, siis ei ole elu teis enestes!

54 Kes sööb Minu Liha ja joob Minu Verd, sel on igavene elu; ja Mina äratan tema üles viimsel päeval.

55 Sest Mu Liha on tõeline roog ja Mu Veri on tõeline jook.

56 Kes sööb Minu Liha ja joob Minu Verd, jääb Minusse ja Mina temasse.

57 Nagu elav Isa Mind on läkitanud ja Mina elan Isa läbi, nõnda ka see, kes Mind sööb, elab Minu läbi.

58 See on leib, mis taevast on alla tulnud; see ei ole niisugune, mida sõid teie vanemad ja surid. Kes seda leiba sööb, elab igavesti!"

59 Seda Ta ütles kogudusekojas, õpetades Kapernaumas.

60 Siis paljud Tema jüngrid, kui nad seda kuulsid, ütlesid: „See kõne on kõva, kes võib seda kuulda?"

61 Aga et Jeesus Iseenesest teadis, et Tema jüngrid selle üle nurisesid, ütles Ta neile: „Kas see teid pahandab?

62 Aga mis on siis, kui te näete Inimese Poja üles minevat sinna, kus Ta enne oli?

63 Vaim on, kes teeb elavaks; lihast ei ole kasu millekski; sõnad, mis mina teile olen rääkinud, on vaim ja on elu.

64 Aga teie seas on mõned, kes ei usu!" Sest Jeesus teadis algusest peale, kes need olid, kes ei uskunud, ja kes see on, kes Tema ära annab.

65 Ja Ta ütles: „Sellepärast Ma olen teile ütelnud, et ükski ei või tulla Minu juure, kui temale seda ei ole annud Minu Isa!"

66 Sellest ajast läksid paljud Tema jüngrid ära Ta järelt ega kõndinud enam Temaga.

67 Siis Jeesus ütles neile kaheteistkümnele: „Kas ka teie tahate ära minna?"

68 Siimon Peetrus vastas Temale: „Issand, kelle juure me läheme? Sinul on igavese elu sõnad,

69 ja me oleme uskunud ja tunnud, et Sina oled Jumala Püha!"

70 Jeesus kostis neile: „Eks ole Mina teid kaksteistkümmend ära valinud, ja üks teie seast on kurat?"

71 Aga Ta rääkis Juudast, Iskarioti Siimona pojast, sest see pidi Tema ära andma ja oli üks neist kaheteistkümnest.
