John 6:57-71

⁵⁷As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live by reason of me.

⁵⁸This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread will live for ever.

⁵⁹These things he said in a synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This teaching is hard; who can listen to it?

⁶¹Jesus therefore knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, and said to them, Doth this offend you?

⁶²What then if ye behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?

⁶³It is the spirit which maketh alive; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁴But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

⁶⁵And he said, For this cause I have told you, that no one can come to me, unless it hath been given him from the Father.

⁶⁶From this time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Do ye also wish to go away?

⁶⁸Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life;

⁶⁹and we have believed and known, that thou art the Holy One of God.

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you twelve? and one of you is a devil!

⁷¹He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for it was he that was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.
