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 amongst 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 amongst 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 learnt, 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 AFTER these Jeshu went over the Sea of Galila of Tiberios,2 and great multitudes went after him, because they had seen the signs which he wrought on the diseased.3 And Jeshu ascended a mountain, and there sat with his disciples.4 Now the feast of the petscha of the Jihudoyee drew nigh.5 And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?6 But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do.7 Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take.8 Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha,9 There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all?10 Jeshu saith to them, Make all the men recline; for there was much herbage in that place. And the men reclined, in number five thousand.11 And Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and divided unto those who reclined, and likewise also of the fishes, as much as they willed.12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that abound, that nothing be lost;13 and they gathered and filled twelve baskets of fragments, those which abounded unto them who had eaten of the five loaves of barley.14 But those men, when they had seen the sign which Jeshu had wrought, said, Truly this is the Prophet that cometh into the world.15 But when Jeshu knew that they were about to come to seize him and make him the King, he passed away to a mountain alone.16 AND when it was eventide, his disciples went down to the sea.17 And they sat in a vessel, and went over for Kapher-nachum. And it was dark, and Jeshu had not come to them.18 But the sea had risen against them, because a great wind blew.19 And they had led stadia twentyfive or thirty, and they saw Jeshu walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the vessel; and they feared.20 But Jeshu himself said to them, I am, fear not.21 And they willed to receive him into the vessel, and soon that vessel was at that land to which they were going.22 The day after the people that stood on the opposite shore of the sea saw that there was not another vessel there except that into which the disciples had ascended, and that Jeshu had not entered with his disciples into the vessel;23 but there came other boats from Tiberios near the place, where they did eat bread when Jeshu had blessed.24 And when that company saw that Jeshu was not there nor his disciples, they ascended into those boats, and came to Kapher-nachum. And they sought Jeshu;25 and when they had found him on the opposite side of the sea, they say to him, Raban, when camest thou hither?26 Jeshu answered and said to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, You seek me, not because you considered the signs, but because you did eat the bread, and were satisfied.27 Work not (for) the food which perisheth, but (for) the food that endureth unto the life that is eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you: for this hath the Father sealed, (even) Aloha.28 They say to him, What shall we do that we may work the works of Aloha?29 Jeshu answered and said to them, This is the work of Aloha, that you believe in Him whom he hath sent.30 THEY say to him, What sign doest thou that we may see, and believe in thee? What performest thou?31 Our fathers manna did eat in the desert, as it is written, that bread from heaven be gave them to eat.32 Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, That Musha gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven:33 for the bread of Aloha is He who hath descended from heaven, and giveth life to the world.34 They say to him, Our Lord, at all time give us this bread.35 Jeshu saith to them, I am the bread of life: he who cometh to me shall not hunger, and he who believeth in me shall not thirst, for ever.36 But I have told you that you have seen me, and have not believed.37 Every one whom the Father hath given me, unto me will come; and him who unto me shall come, I will not cast out.38 I descended from heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of Him who sent me.39 But this is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all whom he hath given me I shall lose not of him, but shall raise him at the last day.40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son and believeth on him, shall have the life that is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day.41 But the Jihudoyee murmured against him because he said, I am the bread which hath descended from heaven.42 And they said, Is not this Jeshu bar Jauseph, he whose father and mother we know? and how saith this, From heaven I have descended?43 Jeshu answered and said to them, Murmur not one with another.44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me shall attract him, and I will raise him at the last day.45 It is written in the prophet, that they shall be all taught of Aloha: every one, therefore, who hath heard from the Father and learned of him, cometh unto me.46 There is no man who hath seen the Father, but he who is from Aloha, he hath seen the Father.47 AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever believeth in me hath the life which is eternal.48 I am the bread of life.49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead:50 but this is the bread which hath descended from heaven, that man may eat of it, and die not.51 I am the bread of life that from heaven hath descended; and if man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my body, which for the life of the world I give.52 The Jihudoyee contended one with another, saying, How can this his body give to us to eat?53 And Jeshu said to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, That unless you eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.54 He who eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, hath the life which is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day.55 For my body is truly food, and my blood is truly drink.56 He who eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.57 As the Father the Living (one) who hath sent me, and I live by the Father, even so he who shall eat me, shall live, too, by me.58 This is the bread which hath descended from heaven. Not as was the manna that your fathers ate, and are dead; he who eateth of this bread shall live for ever.59 These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Kapher-nachum.60 And many of his disciples who heard said, A hard word is this: who can hear it?61 BUT Jeshu knew in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this; and he said to them, Does this stumble you?62 If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first?63 It is the Spirit that maketh alive, the body profiteth nothing: the words which I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life.64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jeshu knew from the first who they were who believed not, and who it was who would betray him.65 And he said to them, On account of this I told you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him of my Father.66 On account of this word many of his disciples went back, and walked not with him.67 Jeshu said to the twelve, Do you also will to go?68 Shemun Kipha answered and said, My Lord, unto whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life;69 and we believe and know that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living.70 Jeshu saith to them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and from you one is Satana?71 He spake concerning Jihuda bar Shemun Scarjuta; for he it was who would betray him, one from the twelve.
