1After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee of Tiberias, 2And a great crowd followed Him because they saw the signs which He did upon those being sick. 3And Jesus went up into the mountain and there sat with His disciples. 4And the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5Jesus, then, having lifted up His eyes and having seen that a great crowd is coming to Him, He says to Philip, From where shall we buy bread so that these might eat? 6And this He said testing him; for He knew what He was about to do. 7Philip answered Him, Loaves of bread for two hundred denari are not sufficient for them so that each may take some little. 8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, says to Him, 9There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish; but what are these unto so many? 10Jesus said, Make the men recline. Now there was much grass in the place; the men then reclined, the number about five thousand. 11And Jesus took the loaves and having given thanks, distributed to the reclining; likewise also from out of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, Gather together the fragments having been over and above, so that nothing might be lost. 13They gathered together therefore and loaded twelve hand-baskets of fragments from out of the five barley loaves which were over and above to those having eaten. 14Then the people having seen what sign He had done, said, This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world.

15Jesus therefore having known that they are about to come and seize (harpazein-word for rapture) Him, so that they might make [him] king, withdrew again unto the mountain Himself alone.

16And when it became evening, His disciples went down upon the sea, 17and having entered into a boat, they were going to the other side of the sea unto Capernaum. And it had already become dark and Jesus had not come to them. 18And the sea was agitated by a great wind blowing. or 4 miles), they see Jesus walking upon the sea and coming into being near the boat, and they were frightened. 19Then having rowed about twenty five or thirty stadia (furlongs, distance of a race-course, one eighth of a Roman mile, 3 or 4 miles), they see Jesus walking upon the sea and coming into being near the boat, and they were frightened. 20And He says to them, It is I; Do not fear. 21They were then willing to receive Him into the boat and at once (directly) the boat was upon the land unto which they were going.

22On the next day the crowd standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other boat except the one that his disciples entered together into that boat that Jesus had not, but his disciples went away alone; 23But boats came from out of Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks; 24When then the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor His disciples, they entered into the boats and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, Rabbi, when have You come here?

26Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly I say to you, You seek Me, not because you saw signs but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied (feed, filled, fattened). 27Do not work for the food perishing, but for the food remaining unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for Him God the Father set a seal on. 28They said therefore to Him, What must we do so that we might be working the works of God? 29Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you should believe unto Him whom He sent. 30They then said to Him, What sign then do You do so that we might see and might believe You? What do You work? 31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread from out of heaven to eat. 32Jesus then said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from out of heaven; but My Father gives you the true bread from out of heaven. 33For the bread of God is that coming down from out of heaven and giving life to the world. 34They then said to Him, Lord (Sir, Kyrie), always give to us this bread.

35Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me shall never hunger; and the one believing unto Me shall never thirst at any time. 36But I said to you that you have also seen Me and do not believe. 37All that the Father gives Me will come (reach the end-destination) to Me, and the one coming to Me, I shall never cast out outside. 38Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me. 39And this is the will of the One having sent Me, that all that He has given Me, I should lose nothing from out of it, but will raise it up in the last day. 40For this is the will of My Father, so that everyone beholding the Son and believing unto Him should have life eternal; and I will raise him up in the last day.

41The Jews then were grumbling about Him because He said, I am the bread having come down from out of heaven. 42And they were saying, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, of whom we know the father and the mother? How now He says, I have come down from out of heaven? 43Jesus answered and said to them, Do not grumble with one another. 44No one is able to come to Me except the Father, the One having sent Me, draws (induces, focuses on the attraction power involved with the drawing) him and I too will raise him up in the last day. 45It is written in the prophets, And they will be all taught of God. Everyone having heard from the Father and having learned (ascertained, close to word for disciple), comes to Me. 46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One being from (from close beside/alongside) God; He has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly I say to you, the one believing has life eternal. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and diead. 50This is the bread coming down from out of heaven, so that anyone that might eat from out of it and not die. 51I am the living bread having come down from out of heaven; if anyone shall have eaten from out of this bread, he will live into the age; and the bread that I will give for the sake of the life of the world is My flesh.

52The Jews then were arguing with one another, saying, How is He able to give us His flesh to eat? 53Jesus then said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, Unless you shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man and shall have drunk (piete) of His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. 54The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has life eternal, and I too will raise him up in the last day. 55For My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink. 56The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood abides in Me and I too in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I too live because of the Father, also the one feeding on Me, even he will live because of Me. 58This is the bread having come down from out of heaven. Not just as the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live unto the age.

59These things He said in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

60Many then of his disciples having heard said, This word is difficult (hard); who is able to hear it? 61However Jesus knowing in Himself that his disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause you to stumble? 62What if then you should behold the Son of man ascending where He was before? 63It is the Spirit giving life; the flesh benefits nothing. The sayings (rhemata) that I speak to you are spirit and they are life. 64But there are some from out of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from out of the beginning who are those not believing, and who it is who will betray Him. 65And He said, Because of this I have said to you, that no one is able to come to Me unless it shall have been given (granted, offered) to him from out of the Father.

66From out of that, many from out of His disciples departed unto the back and no longer walked with Him. 67Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Are you also wanting to go away? 68Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom will we go? 69You have the sayings (rhemata) of life eternal; and we have believed, and have known that You are the Holy One of God. 70Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you the twelve, and one from out of you is a devil? 71And He spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot; for he was about to betray Him, one from out of the twelve.
