[John 6]

     {Mar 6:30-32 & Mat 14:13 & Luk 9:10 & Joh 6:1 East shore of Galilee.}

     ^6:1 After these things, Jesus went away to the area beyond-that of the sea of Galilee, to the seaof Tiberias.

     {Mar 6:33-44 & Mat 14:13-21 & Luk 9:11-17 & Joh 6:2-14.}

     ^6:2 And a large crowd was following him, because they were seeing the signs from him which he was doing^* upon those who were sick.

     ^6:3 Now Jesus went up into the mountain and was sitting there with his disciples. ^6:4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. ^6:5 Therefore Jesus, having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a large crowd is coming toward him, says to Philip, From where will we be buying bread, in order that these might eat?^6:6 But he said this, testing him; for^* he himself knew what he was about to do^*.

     ^6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii' worth of loaves is not enough for them, in order that each of them might take some bit.

     ^6:8 One out of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him, ^6:9 There is one child here, who has five barley loaves and two little-fish, but what are these things toward so-many?

     ^6:10 But Jesus said, Make^** the people to lean-back. Now much grass was in the place. Therefore the men leaned-back, approximately five thousand in number. ^6:11 Now Jesus took the loaves, and having given-thanks, he distributed it to the disciples and then the disciples to the ones reclining; also likewise from the little-fish as many as they were wishing to eat. ^6:12 Now as they were getting filled, he says to his disciples, Gather^* up the broken pieces which were leftover, in order that not anything might perish.^6:13 Therefore they gathered together and filled twelve baskets from the broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were leftover by those who had been fed.

     ^6:14 Therefore, after the men saw the sign which Jesus did^*, they were saying, This truly is the prophet who is coming into the world.

     {Mar 6:45-56 & Mat 14:22-36 & Joh 6:15-21.}

     ^6:15 Therefore Jesus, having known that they are about to come and seize him, in order that they might make^* him king, departed by himself into the mountain alone.

     ^6:16 Now as it became evening, his disciples went-down upon the sea coast; ^6:17 and having stepped into the ship and they were going beyond-that area of the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark and Jesus had not yet come to them. ^6:18 And the sea was being awakened bya great blowing wind. ^6:19 Therefore, having rowed approximately twenty five or thirty furlongs, they view Jesus walking upon the sea and happening to be near the ship and they were afraid. ^6:20But he says to them, I am here. Do^* not be afraid. ^6:21 Therefore they were willing to receive him onto the ship and immediately the ship happened to be upon the land in which they were proceeding.

     {Joh 6:22-71 Synagogue in Capernaum; no parallel.}

     ^6:22 On the next-day the crowd which is standing beyond-that area of the sea, saw that no other small-boat was there, except this one in which his disciples had stepped into, and that Jesus did not enter together with his disciples into the small-boat, but his disciples went away alone ^6:23(but other small-boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave-thanks). ^6:24 Therefore, when the crowd saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they themselves also stepped into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. ^6:25 And having found him beyond-that area of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come^*here?

     ^6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you^*, You^* are seeking me, not because you^* saw signs, but because you^* ate from the loaves and were fully-fed.^6:27Do^* not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will be giving to you^*; for^* God, the Father, sealed this one.

     ^6:28 Therefore they said to him, What should we do^*, in order that we may work the works of God?

     ^6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, in order that you^* might believe in the one whom that one sent.

     ^6:30 Therefore they said to him, Therefore what are you doing^* for a sign, in order that we may see it and should believe in you? What are you working for us? ^6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it has been written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. {Exo 16:21, Num 11:8}

     ^6:32 Therefore Jesus said to them, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^*, Moses has not given the bread from heavento you^*, but my Father is the one giving the true bread from heaven to you^*. ^6:33For^* the bread of God is he who is descending from heaven and is giving life to the world.

     ^6:34 Therefore they said to him, Lord, give this bread to us always.

     ^6:35 But Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who is coming to me should never hunger and he who believes in me should never be thirsty at anytime.^6:36But I said to you^*, That you^* have seen me and yet do not believe.^6:37All that the Father gives me will be coming to me, and the one who is coming to me I should never cast outside.^6:38Because I have descended down from heaven, not in order that I should do^* my own will, but do the will of the one who sent me.^6:39But this is the will of my Father who sent me, that^* of all that he has given me, I should not lose any out of it, but will raise^* it up in the last day.^6:40But this is the will of the one who sent me, in order that everyone who views the Son and believes in him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise^* him up in the last day.

     ^6:41 Therefore the Jews were murmuring concerning him, because he said, I am the bread who descended from heaven. ^6:42 And they were saying, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Therefore how does he now say, I descended from heaven?

     ^6:43 Therefore Jesus answered and said to them, Do^* not murmur with one another. ^6:44No one is able to come to me, if the Father who sent me does not attract him and I will raise^* him up in the last day.^6:45It has been written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught from God.'{Isa 54:13}Therefore, everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, is coming to me.^6:46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God, this one has seen the Father.^6:47Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^*, He who believes in me has everlasting life.^6:48I am the bread of life.^6:49Your^* fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. ^6:50This is the bread who is descending from heaven, in order that anyone may eat from it and may not die.^6:51I am the living bread who descended from heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will be living forever and also the bread which I will be giving is my flesh, which I will be giving on behalf of the life of the world.

     ^6:52 Therefore the Jews were quarreling with one another, saying, How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?

     ^6:53 Therefore Jesus said to them, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^*, If you^* do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you^* do not have life in yourselves.^6:54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life and I will raise^* him up in the last day.^6:55For^* my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink. ^6:56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.^6:57Just-as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father; so he who eats me, he will also be living because of me.^6:58This is the bread who descended from heaven not like the manna your^* fathers ate and died; he who is eating this bread will be living forever. ^6:59 He said these things in the synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.

     ^6:60 Therefore many out of his disciples, having heard this, said, This is a harsh speech; who is able to hear it?

     ^6:61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples are murmuring concerning this, said to them, Is this offending you^*?^6:62 Therefore what if you^* view the Son of Man ascending where he was beforehand? ^6:63It is the spirit who is giving-life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you^* are spirit and are life. ^6:64But there are some out of you^* who do not believe. For^*Jesus knew from the beginning who they are who do not believe and who is one who will be giving him up. ^6:65 And he said, Because ofthis, I have said to you^*, that no one is able to come to me, if it is not given to him from my Father.

     ^6:66 Many of his disciples went away from this speech to things left behind and were walking no more with him. ^6:67 Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, You^* are not wishing to proceeding away, are you^*?

     ^6:68 Therefore Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of everlasting life. ^6:69 And we have believed and have known that you are the Christ the Son of the living God.

     ^6:70 Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you^* the twelve and one out of you^* is a slanderer?^6:71 Now he was speaking of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, being one out of the twelve, for^* this one was about to give him up to the Jews.
