John 6:59-71

⁵⁹He said these things in the syna-gogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples hearing this, said, This word is hard, who may hear it?

⁶¹But Jesus witting at or within himself, that his disciples grutched of this thing, said to them, This thing offendeth you?

⁶²Therefore if ye see man’s Son ascending or going up, where he was before?

⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life.

⁶⁴But there be some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, which were believing, and who was to betray him.

⁶⁵And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man may come to me, but it were given to him of my Father.

⁶⁶From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.

⁶⁷Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Whether ye will also go away?

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

⁶⁹and we believe, and have known, or we have believed, and know, that thou art Christ, the Son of God.

⁷⁰Therefore Jesus answered to them, Whether I chose not you twelve, and one of you is a fiend?

⁷¹And he said this of Judas of Simon Iscariot, for this was to betray him, when he was one of the twelve.
