John 6:59-63

⁵⁹All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”

⁶¹But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them,

⁶²“Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

⁶³It is the Spirit that gives life; human strength achieves nothing. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is life.
