After
these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee,
which is the sea of Tiberias.
02 And a great multitude followed him, because
they saw his miracles which he did on them that
were diseased.
03 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there
he sat with his disciples.
04 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was
nigh.
05 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?
06 And this he said to prove him:
for he himself knew what he would do.
07 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of
bread is not sufficient for them, that every one
of them may take a little.
08 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother, saith unto him,
09 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.
