Chapter 6
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
1
After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that [is], [the Sea] of Tiberias).
Μετὰ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπῆλθεν πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Γαλιλαίας τῆς Τιβεριάδος Meta tauta ho Iēsous apēlthen peran tēs thalassēs tēs Galilaias tēs Tiberiados — NA/TR · 1
2
- A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
δὲ πολύς ὄχλος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐθεώρουν τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει ἐπὶ τῶν ἀσθενούντων de polys ochlos ēkolouthei autō hoti etheōroun ta sēmeia ha epoiei epi tōn asthenountōn — NA/TR · 2
3
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀνῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ μετὰ αὐτοῦ τῶν μαθητῶν de Iēsous anēlthen eis to oros kai ekathēto ekei meta autou tōn mathētōn — NA/TR · 3
4
Now the vvv Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
δὲ ἡ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτὴ τὸ πάσχα Ἦν ἐγγὺς de hē tōn Ioudaiōn heortē to pascha Ēn engys — NA/TR · 4
5
[When] Jesus looked up… and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these [people] to eat?
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ θεασάμενος ὅτι πολὺς ὄχλος ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγει πρὸς Φίλιππον Πόθεν ἀγοράσωμεν ἄρτους ἵνα οὗτοι φάγωσιν oun ho Iēsous eparas tous ophthalmous kai theasamenos hoti polys ochlos erchetai pros auton legei pros Philippon Pothen agorasōmen artous hina houtoi phagōsin — NA/TR · 5
6
But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
δὲ ἔλεγεν τοῦτο πειράζων αὐτόν γὰρ αὐτὸς ᾔδει τί ἔμελλεν ποιεῖν de elegen touto peirazōn auton gar autos ēdei ti emellen poiein — NA/TR · 6
7
Philip answered -, “Two hundred denarii vvv would not [buy] enough bread for… each {of them} to have a small [piece].
Φίλιππος Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Διακοσίων δηναρίων οὐκ ἀρκοῦσιν ἄρτοι αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἕκαστος λάβῃ τι βραχύ Philippos Apekrithē autō ho Diakosiōn dēnariōn ouk arkousin artoi autois hina hekastos labē ti brachy — NA/TR · 7
8
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
εἷς ἐκ αὐτοῦ τῶν μαθητῶν Ἀνδρέας Σίμωνος Πέτρου ὁ ἀδελφὸς Λέγει αὐτῷ heis ek autou tōn mathētōn Andreas Simōnos Petrou ho adelphos Legei autō — NA/TR · 8
9
“Here is a boy [with] five barley loaves and two small fish. But what [ difference ] vvv will these make among so many?
ὧδε Ἔστιν παιδάριον ὃς ἔχει πέντε κριθίνους ἄρτους καὶ δύο ὀψάρια ἀλλὰ τί ἐστιν ταῦτα εἰς τοσούτους hōde Estin paidarion hos echei pente krithinous artous kai dyo opsaria alla ti estin tauta eis tosoutous — NA/TR · 9
10
“Have the [people] sit down, Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in [that] place, so the men sat down, about five thousand [of them].
Ποιήσατε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἀναπεσεῖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν δὲ ἦν πολὺς χόρτος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὖν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀνέπεσαν ὡς πεντακισχίλιοι τὸν ἀριθμὸν Poiēsate tous anthrōpous anapesein ho Iēsous Eipen de ēn polys chortos en tō topō oun hoi andres anepesan hōs pentakischilioi ton arithmon — NA/TR · 10
11
Then Jesus took the loaves and… the fish, gave thanks, [and] distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἄρτους ὁμοίως καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀψαρίων καὶ εὐχαριστήσας διέδωκεν τοῖς ἀνακειμένοις ὅσον ἤθελον oun ho Iēsous Elaben tous artous homoiōs kai ek tōn opsariōn kai eucharistēsas diedōken tois anakeimenois hoson ēthelon — NA/TR · 11
12
And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that vvv nothing will be wasted.
δὲ Ὡς ἐνεπλήσθησαν λέγει τοῖς αὐτοῦ μαθηταῖς Συναγάγετε τὰ κλάσματα περισσεύσαντα ἵνα μή τι ἀπόληται de Hōs eneplēsthēsan legei tois autou mathētais Synagagete ta klasmata perisseusanta hina mē ti apolētai — NA/TR · 12
13
So they collected [them] and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
οὖν συνήγαγον καὶ ἐγέμισαν δώδεκα κοφίνους κλασμάτων ἐκ τῶν πέντε τῶν κριθίνων ἄρτων ἃ ἐπερίσσευσαν τοῖς βεβρωκόσιν oun synēgagon kai egemisan dōdeka kophinous klasmatōn ek tōn pente tōn krithinōn artōn ha eperisseusan tois bebrōkosin — NA/TR · 13
14
[When] the people saw the sign that [Jesus] had performed, they began to say -, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.
οὖν Οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἰδόντες σημεῖον ὃ ἐποίησεν ἔλεγον ὅτι ἀληθῶς Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐρχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον oun Hoi anthrōpoi idontes sēmeion ho epoiēsen elegon hoti alēthōs Houtos estin ho prophētēs ho erchomenos eis ton kosmon — NA/TR · 14
15
Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself…
οὖν Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ὅτι μέλλουσιν ἔρχεσθαι καὶ ἵνα ποιήσωσιν αὐτὸν βασιλέα ἁρπάζειν ἀνεχώρησεν πάλιν εἰς τὸ ὄρος αὐτὸς μόνος oun Iēsous gnous hoti mellousin erchesthai kai hina poiēsōsin auton basilea harpazein anechōrēsen palin eis to oros autos monos — NA/TR · 15
Jesus Walks on Water
16
- When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
δὲ Ὡς ὀψία ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατέβησαν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν de Hōs opsia egeneto autou hoi mathētai katebēsan epi tēn thalassan — NA/TR · 16
17
- got into… a boat, [and] started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus vvv had not yet gone out to them.
καὶ ἐμβάντες εἰς πλοῖον ἤρχοντο πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς Καφαρναούμ καὶ ἐγεγόνει ἤδη σκοτία καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς οὔπω ἐληλύθει πρὸς αὐτοὺς kai embantes eis ploion ērchonto peran tēs thalassēs eis Kapharnaoum kai egegonei ēdē skotia kai ho Iēsous oupō elēlythei pros autous — NA/TR · 17
18
A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
μεγάλου ἀνέμου πνέοντος τε ἥ θάλασσα διεγείρετο megalou anemou pneontos te hē thalassa diegeireto — NA/TR · 18
19
[When] they had rowed about three or four miles…, they saw Jesus approaching… the boat, walking on the sea— and they were terrified.
οὖν Ἐληλακότες ὡς εἴκοσι πέντε ἢ τριάκοντα σταδίους θεωροῦσιν τὸν Ἰησοῦν γινόμενον ἐγγὺς τοῦ πλοίου καὶ περιπατοῦντα ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν oun Elēlakotes hōs eikosi pente ē triakonta stadious theōrousin ton Iēsoun ginomenon engys tou ploiou kai peripatounta epi tēs thalassēs kai ephobēthēsan — NA/TR · 19
20
But [Jesus] spoke up…: “It is I; {do} not be afraid.
δὲ ὁ λέγει αὐτοῖς εἰμι Ἐγώ μὴ φοβεῖσθε de ho legei autois eimi Egō mē phobeisthe — NA/TR · 20
21
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached… the shore where they were heading.
οὖν ἤθελον λαβεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ εὐθέως τὸ πλοῖον ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν ὑπῆγον oun ēthelon labein auton eis to ploion kai eutheōs to ploion egeneto epi tēs gēs eis hēn hypēgon — NA/TR · 21
Jesus the Bread of Life
22
The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only… one - boat had been there, and that Jesus vvv had not boarded… [it] {with} His disciples, but vvv vvv [they] had gone away alone.
Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ἑστηκὼς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἶδον ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἕν οὐκ ἄλλο πλοιάριον ἦν ἐκεῖ καὶ ὅτι ὁ Ἰησοῦς οὐ συνεισῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον αὐτοῦ τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἀλλὰ αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἀπῆλθον μόνοι Tē epaurion ho ochlos ho hestēkōs peran tēs thalassēs eidon hoti ei mē hen ouk allo ploiarion ēn ekei kai hoti ho Iēsous ou syneisēlthen eis to ploion autou tois mathētais alla autou hoi mathētai apēlthon monoi — NA/TR · 22
23
However, [some] boats from Tiberias landed near the place where [the people] had eaten the bread [after] the Lord had given thanks.
ἀλλὰ πλοιάρια ἐκ Τιβεριάδος ἦλθεν ἐγγὺς τοῦ τόπου ὅπου ἔφαγον τὸν ἄρτον τοῦ Κυρίου εὐχαριστήσαντος alla ploiaria ek Tiberiados ēlthen engys tou topou hopou ephagon ton arton tou Kyriou eucharistēsantos — NA/TR · 23
24
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for [Him].
οὖν ὅτε ὁ ὄχλος εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ Ἰησοῦς οὐδὲ αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ αὐτοὶ ἐνέβησαν εἰς τὰ πλοιάρια καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ ζητοῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν oun hote ho ochlos eiden hoti ouk Iēsous oude autou hoi mathētai estin ekei autoi enebēsan eis ta ploiaria kai ēlthon eis Kapharnaoum zētountes ton Iēsoun — NA/TR · 24
25
[When] they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?
καὶ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἶπον αὐτῷ Ῥαββί πότε γέγονας ὧδε kai heurontes auton peran tēs thalassēs eipon autō Rhabbi pote gegonas hōde — NA/TR · 25
26
- Jesus replied…, “Truly, truly, I tell you, [it is] not because you saw [these] signs [that] you are looking for Me, but because you ate… the loaves and had your fill.
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν οὐχ ὅτι εἴδετε σημεῖα ζητεῖτέ με ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἐφάγετε ἐκ τῶν ἄρτων καὶ ἐχορτάσθητε ho Iēsous Apekrithē autois kai eipen Amēn amēn legō hymin ouch hoti eidete sēmeia zēteite me all’ hoti ephagete ek tōn artōn kai echortasthēte — NA/TR · 26
27
{Do} not work [for] food that perishes, but [for] food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.
μὴ ἐργάζεσθε τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν ἀπολλυμένην ἀλλὰ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς αἰώνιον ζωὴν ἣν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου δώσει ὑμῖν γὰρ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός ὁ Πατὴρ ἐσφράγισεν mē ergazesthe tēn brōsin tēn apollymenēn alla tēn brōsin tēn menousan eis aiōnion zōēn hēn ho Huios tou anthrōpou dōsei hymin gar touton ho Theos ho Patēr esphragisen — NA/TR · 27
28
Then they inquired -, “What must we do to perform the works of God?
οὖν Εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν Τί ποιῶμεν ἵνα ἐργαζώμεθα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ oun Eipon pros auton Ti poiōmen hina ergazōmetha ta erga tou Theou — NA/TR · 28
29
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τὸ ἔργον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν Τοῦτό ἵνα πιστεύητε εἰς ὃν ἐκεῖνος ἀπέστειλεν ho Iēsous Apekrithē kai eipen autois to ergon tou Theou estin Touto hina pisteuēte eis hon ekeinos apesteilen — NA/TR · 29
30
So they asked Him, “What sign then {will} You perform, so that we may see [it] and believe You? What will You do?
οὖν Εἶπον αὐτῷ Τί σημεῖον οὖν σὺ ποιεῖς ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμέν σοι τί ἐργάζῃ oun Eipon autō Ti sēmeion oun sy poieis hina idōmen kai pisteusōmen soi ti ergazē — NA/TR · 30
31
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’
ἡμῶν οἱ πατέρες ἔφαγον τὸ μάννα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ φαγεῖν hēmōn hoi pateres ephagon to manna en tē erēmō kathōs estin gegrammenon edōken autois Arton ek tou ouranou phagein — NA/TR · 31
32
- Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, [it was] not Moses [who] gave you the bread from heaven, but [it is] My Father [who] gives you the true bread from heaven.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν οὐ Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀλλ’ μου ὁ Πατήρ δίδωσιν ὑμῖν τὸν τὸν ἀληθινόν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ oun ho Iēsous Eipen autois Amēn amēn legō hymin ou Mōusēs dedōken hymin ton arton ek tou ouranou all’ mou ho Patēr didōsin hymin ton ton alēthinon arton ek tou ouranou — NA/TR · 32
33
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
γὰρ ὁ ἄρτος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ὁ καταβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ διδοὺς ζωὴν τῷ κόσμῳ gar ho artos tou Theou estin ho katabainōn ek tou ouranou kai didous zōēn tō kosmō — NA/TR · 33
34
“Sir, they said…, “give us this bread at all times.
Κύριε οὖν Εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν δὸς ἡμῖν τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον πάντοτε Kyrie oun Eipon pros auton dos hēmin touton ton arton pantote — NA/TR · 34
35
- Jesus answered -, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me vvv vvv will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me vvv vvv vvv will never thirst.
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ καὶ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ πώποτε διψήσει ho Iēsous Eipen autois Egō eimi ho artos tēs zōēs ho erchomenos pros eme ou mē peinasē kai ho pisteuōn eis eme ou mē pōpote dipsēsei — NA/TR · 35
36
But [as] I stated…, vvv you have seen Me and still {you do} not believe.
ἀλλ’ εἶπον ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ ἑωράκατέ με καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε all’ eipon hymin hoti kai heōrakate me kai ou pisteuete — NA/TR · 36
37
Everyone… the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the [one who] comes to Me vvv vvv I will never drive away.
Πᾶν ὃ ὁ Πατὴρ δίδωσίν μοι ἥξει πρὸς ἐμὲ καὶ τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρός με οὐ μὴ ἐκβάλω ἔξω Pan ho ho Patēr didōsin moi hēxei pros eme kai ton erchomenon pros me ou mē ekbalō exō — NA/TR · 37
38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My [own] will, but [to do] the will of Him who sent Me.
ὅτι καταβέβηκα ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐχ ἵνα ποιῶ τὸ ἐμὸν τὸ θέλημα ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με hoti katabebēka apo tou ouranou ouch hina poiō to emon to thelēma alla to thelēma tou pempsantos me — NA/TR · 38
39
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of - those He has given Me, but raise them up… at the last day.
δέ Τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἵνα ἀπολέσω μὴ ἐξ αὐτοῦ πᾶν ὃ δέδωκέν μοι ἀλλὰ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ de Touto estin to thelēma tou pempsantos me hina apolesō mē ex autou pan ho dedōken moi alla anastēsō auto en tē eschatē hēmera — NA/TR · 39
40
For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up… at the last day.
γάρ τοῦτο ἐστιν τοῦ μου Πατρός τὸ θέλημα ἵνα πᾶς ὁ θεωρῶν τὸν Υἱὸν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν ἔχῃ αἰώνιον ζωὴν καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ gar touto estin tou mou Patros to thelēma hina pas ho theōrōn ton Huion kai pisteuōn eis auton echē aiōnion zōēn kai egō anastēsō auton en tē eschatē hēmera — NA/TR · 40
41
At this, the Jews began to grumble about [Jesus] because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.
οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἐγόγγυζον περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ καταβὰς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ oun hoi Ioudaioi Egongyzon peri autou hoti eipen Egō eimi ho artos ho katabas ek tou ouranou — NA/TR · 41
42
- They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven
καὶ ἔλεγον ἐστιν οὗτός Οὐχ Ἰησοῦς ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ οὗ τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν πῶς νῦν λέγει ὅτι καταβέβηκα Ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ kai elegon estin houtos Ouch Iēsous ho huios Iōsēph hou ton patera kai tēn mētera hēmeis oidamen pōs nyn legei hoti katabebēka Ek tou ouranou — NA/TR · 42
43
“Stop grumbling among yourselves, Jesus replied…
Μὴ γογγύζετε μετ’ ἀλλήλων Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Mē gongyzete met’ allēlōn Iēsous Apekrithē kai eipen autois — NA/TR · 43
44
“No one can come to Me unless… the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up… at the last day.
οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐλθεῖν πρός με ἐὰν μὴ ὁ Πατὴρ ὁ πέμψας με ἑλκύσῃ αὐτόν κἀγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ oudeis dynatai elthein pros me ean mē ho Patēr ho pempsas me helkysē auton kagō anastēsō auton en tē eschatē hēmera — NA/TR · 44
45
It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be… taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from [Him] comes to Me—
ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις Καὶ ἔσονται πάντες διδακτοὶ Θεοῦ πᾶς ὁ ἀκούσας τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ μαθὼν παρὰ ἔρχεται πρὸς ἐμέ estin gegrammenon en tois prophētais Kai esontai pantes didaktoi Theou pas ho akousas tou Patros kai mathōn para erchetai pros eme — NA/TR · 45
46
not that anyone has seen the Father except… the [One who] is from God; [only] He has seen the Father.
οὐχ ὅτι τις ἑώρακέν τὸν Πατέρα εἰ μὴ ὁ ὢν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὗτος ἑώρακεν τὸν Πατέρα ouch hoti tis heōraken ton Patera ei mē ho ōn para tou Theou houtos heōraken ton Patera — NA/TR · 46
47
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.
Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὁ πιστεύων ἔχει αἰώνιον ζωὴν Amēn amēn legō hymin ho pisteuōn echei aiōnion zōēn — NA/TR · 47
48
I am the bread of life.
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς egō eimi ho artos tēs zōēs — NA/TR · 48
49
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
ὑμῶν οἱ πατέρες ἔφαγον τὸ μάννα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀπέθανον hymōn hoi pateres ephagon to manna en tē erēmō kai apethanon — NA/TR · 49
50
This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ καταβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἵνα τις φάγῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ houtos estin ho artos ho katabainōn ek tou ouranou hina tis phagē ex autou kai mē apothanē — NA/TR · 50
51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live vvv vvv forever. And [this] bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὁ ζῶν ἄρτος ὁ καταβάς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου ζήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ὁ ἄρτος ὃν ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω ὑπὲρ τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ κόσμου ἐστιν μού ἡ σάρξ egō eimi ho ho zōn artos ho katabas ek tou ouranou ean tis phagē ek toutou tou artou zēsei eis ton aiōna kai ho artos hon egō de dōsō hyper tēs zōēs tou kosmou estin mou hē sarx — NA/TR · 51
52
At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves -, “How can this [man] give us His flesh to eat?
οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἐμάχοντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες Πῶς δύναται οὗτος δοῦναι ἡμῖν αὐτοῦ τὴν σάρκα φαγεῖν oun hoi Ioudaioi Emachonto pros allēlous legontes Pōs dynatai houtos dounai hēmin autou tēn sarka phagein — NA/TR · 52
53
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless… you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ φάγητε τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔχετε οὐκ ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς oun ho Iēsous Eipen autois Amēn amēn legō hymin ean mē phagēte tēn sarka kai piēte autou to haima tou Huiou tou anthrōpou echete ouk zōēn en heautois — NA/TR · 53
54
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up… at the last day.
ὁ τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα ἔχει αἰώνιον ζωὴν κἀγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ho trōgōn mou tēn sarka kai pinōn mou to haima echei aiōnion zōēn kagō anastēsō auton tē eschatē hēmera — NA/TR · 54
55
For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
γὰρ μου ἡ σάρξ ἐστιν ἀληθής βρῶσις καὶ μου τὸ αἷμά ἐστιν ἀληθής πόσις gar mou hē sarx estin alēthēs brōsis kai mou to haima estin alēthēs posis — NA/TR · 55
56
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
Ὁ τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα μένει ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ Ho trōgōn mou tēn sarka kai pinōn mou to haima menei en emoi kagō en autō — NA/TR · 56
57
Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the [one who] feeds on Me will live because of Me.
καθὼς ὁ ζῶν Πατὴρ ἀπέστειλέν με κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν Πατέρα καὶ κἀκεῖνος ὁ τρώγων με ζήσει δι’ ἐμέ kathōs ho zōn Patēr apesteilen me kagō zō dia ton Patera kai kakeinos ho trōgōn me zēsei di’ eme — NA/TR · 57
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike… [your] fathers, [who] ate [ the manna ] and died, the [one who] eats this bread will live vvv vvv forever.
οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ καταβάς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ οὐ καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ἔφαγον καὶ ἀπέθανον ὁ τρώγων τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον ζήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα houtos estin ho artos ho katabas ex ouranou ou kathōs hoi pateres ephagon kai apethanon ho trōgōn touton ton arton zēsei eis ton aiōna — NA/TR · 58
Many Disciples Turn Back
59
[Jesus] said this while teaching in [the] synagogue in Capernaum.
εἶπεν Ταῦτα διδάσκων ἐν συναγωγῇ ἐν Καφαρναούμ eipen Tauta didaskōn en synagōgē en Kapharnaoum — NA/TR · 59
60
On hearing [it], many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?
ἀκούσαντες οὖν Πολλοὶ ἐκ αὐτοῦ τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπαν οὗτος ἐστιν Σκληρός ὁ λόγος τίς δύναται ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ akousantes oun Polloi ek autou tōn mathētōn eipan houtos estin Sklēros ho logos tis dynatai akouein autou — NA/TR · 60
61
- Aware… that His disciples were grumbling about this [ teaching ], Jesus asked them, “{Does} this offend you?
δὲ Εἰδὼς ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ γογγύζουσιν περὶ τούτου ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τοῦτο σκανδαλίζει ὑμᾶς de Eidōs en heautō hoti autou hoi mathētai gongyzousin peri toutou ho Iēsous eipen autois Touto skandalizei hymas — NA/TR · 61
62
Then what [ will happen ] if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
οὖν ἐὰν θεωρῆτε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τὸ πρότερον oun ean theōrēte ton Huion tou anthrōpou anabainonta hopou ēn to proteron — NA/TR · 62
