1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, 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 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little."
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’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 Jesus 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 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples 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 disciples, "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 Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world." 15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. 19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them, "It is I. 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 disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone 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 Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
26 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly 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 Jesus 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 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses 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 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe. 37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He 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 Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven." 42 They said, "Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’"
43 Therefore Jesus 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 anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father. 47 Most certainly, 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 for the life of the world is my flesh."
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly 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 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 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?"
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? 62 Then 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 Jesus 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 I have 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 disciples went back and walked no more with him. 67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don’t also want to go away, do you?"
68 Simon Peter 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 Christ, the Son of the living God."
70 Jesus answered them, "Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" 71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would 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.
