Jesus

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one--Out of the heaven I have come down?'

Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

I am the bread of the life;

`I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live--to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

`According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

and he said, `Because of this I have said to you--No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

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