AFTER these things IaHUShUA went over the sea of "Kinnerot" (called at that time, "Tiberias". Now known as "Galilee".)
2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He worked on them that were diseased.
3 And IaHUShUA went up into a mountain, and sat there with His disciples.
4 Also the Passover, was near.
5 IaHUShUA then looking up, saw a great multitude coming to Him, He said to Philip, Where shall we buy food, that these may eat?
6 And this He said to test him: for He Himself knew what He would do.
7 Philip answered Him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Shimeon Kepha's brother, said to Him,
9 There is a boy here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And IaHUShUA said, Cause the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So they sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And IaHUShUA took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those people, when they had seen the miracle that IaHUShUA did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15 When IaHUShUA therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force, to make Him a king, He departed again into a mountain Himself alone.
16 And when even was come, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and IaHUShUA was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed (the equivalent of) about three or four miles, they see IaHUShUA walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But He said to them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received Him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land toward which they went.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other boat there, except the one, and that IaHUShUA went not with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples were gone away alone.
23 There came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they did eat bread, for which IaHUShUA had given thanks.
24 So when the people saw that IaHUShUA was not there, neither His disciples, they took a boat, and came to Capernaum, seeking for IaHUShUA.
25 And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26 IaHUShUA answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, You seek Me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of ENaSh shall give to you: for Him the Father has verified.
28 Then they said, What shall we do, that we might do the works of Elohim?
29 IaHUShUA answered, This is the work of Elohim, that you are faithful to Whom He has sent.
30 So they said to Him, What sign do you show, that we may see, and be persuaded by you? what do you work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from on high to eat.
32 Then IaHUShUA said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, MoSheH gave you not that bread from on high; but My Father gave you the true bread from on high.
33 For the bread of Elohim is He which comes down from on high, and gives life to the world.
34 Then they said, Rabbi, give us this bread at all times.
35 And IaHUShUA said, I am the bread of life: who ever comes to Me shall never hunger; and who ever is firmly rooted in Me shall never thirst.
36 But I told you, That you have seen Me and are not persuaded.
37 All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and who ever comes to Me I will not throw away.
38 For I came down from on high, not to do My own will, but the will of the One that sent Me.
39 And this is the will of the One that has sent Me, that I should lose none of the ones that He has given Me, but should cause them to rise up in the latter time.
40 And this is the will of My Father, that every one who sees the Son, and is persuaded by Him, may have everlasting life: and I will cause them to rise up in the latter time.
41 The Iahudim then murmured at Him, because He said, I am the bread which came down from on high.
42 And they said, Is not this IaHUShUA, the son of Ioseph, whose father and mother we know? how then does He say, I came down from on high?
43 IaHUShUA therefore answered and said, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 Not even one will be able to come to Me, except the Father that sent Me draw Him: and I will cause them to rise up in the latter time.
45 It is written in the prophets, "And all of your children shall be taught of IaHUeH" Every one therefore that has listened, and of the Father has been informed, comes to Me.
46 Not that the Father has sought out a certain one, except those being near IaHUeH, these the Father shall look after.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The one standing firm has life without end.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which comes down from on high, that a certain one may eat it, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from on high: if a certain one eat of this bread, they shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Iahudim therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?
53 Then IaHUShUA said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will cause them to rise up in the latter time.
55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
56 These that eat My flesh, and drink My blood, dwell in Me, and I in them.
57 As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father: so these that eat Me, shall likewise live through Me.
58 This is that bread which came down from on high: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: those that eat of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When IaHUShUA knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said to them, Does this offend you?
62 And if ye shall behold the Son of 'ENoSh rise up where I was before
63 It is the spirit that restores life to the flesh; but you say the flesh is useful to not even one: the words that I speak to you, are spirit, and are life.
64 But there are some of you that are not established in faith. For IaHUShUA knew from the beginning that some were not trustworthy, and a certain one would deliver Him over.
65 And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that not even one can come to Me, except it were given to that one from the Father.
6:66 Out of this many, (away from these) disciples of His, went (into that) back, and walked no more with Him.
67 Then said IaHUShUA unto the twelve, Will you also delight in bringing yourself under? (i.e. leave, to be subject to the "powers". By rejecting Ha-MaShIaCh and IaHUeH's Kingdom, a person subjects their self to worldly kingdoms.)
68 Then Shimeon Kepha answered Him, Rabbi, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69 And we have gotten knowledge by perception and are certainly convinced, that You are QaDOSh ChaSID ELOHI. [Isa 54:5-85 For thy Maker is thine husband IaHUeH of hosts is His Name; and thy Redeemer the QaDOSh One of IeShRaEL; The ELOHI (All-Mighty-ONE) of the whole earth shall He be called.]
70 IaHUShUA answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a false accuser?
71 He spake of Iahudah of Shimeon, Iscariot: for he was on the point of turning him in, one of the twelve.
