KJ3 Literal Translation
John 6
1 Christ feeds five thousand men with five loaves and two fish. 16 Withdrawing Himself, He walked on the sea to His disciples: 32 declares Himself to be the bread of life to believers.
1After these things, Jesus went away over the Sea of Galilee, the Tiberian Sea.
2And a great crowd followed Him, for they saw His miraculous signs which He did on the ones being sick.
3And Jesus went up into the mountain and sat there with His disciples.
4And the Passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
5Then Jesus lifting up His eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to Him, He said to Philip, From where may we buy bread that these may eat?
6But He said this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
7Philip answered Him, Bread for two hundred denarii are not enough for them, that each of them may receive a little.
8One of His disciples said to Him, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter,
9There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish; but what are these among so many?
10And Jesus said, Make the men to recline. And much grass was in the place. Then the men reclined, the number was about five thousand.
11And Jesus took the loaves of bread, and giving thanks distributed to the disciples, and the disciples likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
12And when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather up the fragments left over, that not anything be lost.
13Then they gathered and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves of bread which were left over to the ones having eaten.
14Then the men, seeing what miraculous sign Jesus did, said, This is truly the Prophet, the One coming into the world.
15Therefore knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain Himself alone.
16And when it became evening, His disciples went down on the sea.
17And entering into the boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had already occurred, and Jesus had not come to them.
18And the sea was aroused by a great wind blowing.
19Then having rowed about twenty five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and becoming near the boat, they were afraid.
20But He said to them, I AM! Do not fear.
21Then they desired to take Him into the boat. And the boat was instantly at the land to which they were going.
22The next day, the crowd, the one standing across the sea had seen that no other little boat was there except one, that one into which His disciples entered, and that Jesus did not go in with His disciples into the small boat, but that the disciples went away alone.
23But other small boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks.
24Therefore, when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor His disciples, they themselves also stepped into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
25And finding Him across the sea, they said to Him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek Me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate of the loaves of bread and were satisfied.
27Do not work for the food, the one perishing, but for the food, the one enduring to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for God the Father sealed Him.
28Then they said to Him, What may we do that we may work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe into Him whom that One sent.
30Therefore they said to Him, Then what miraculous sign do You do that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, even as it is written “He gave them bread out of the heaven to eat.” LXX-Psa. 77:24; MT-Psa. 78:24
32Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of the heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven.
33For the bread of God is the One coming down out of the heaven and giving life to the world.
34Then they said to Him, Lord, always give us this bread.
35And Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of life; the one coming to Me will not hunger, not ever; and the one believing into Me will not thirst, not ever
36But I said to you that you also have seen Me and do not believe.
37All who the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and the one coming to Me I will not cast out, not ever,
38for I have come down out of Heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
39And this is the will of the Father sending Me, that of all that He has given Me, I shall not lose any of it, but shall raise it up in the last day.
40And this is the will of the One having sent Me, that everyone seeing the Son and believing into Him should have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
41Therefore the Jews murmured about Him, because He said, I am the Bread coming down out of Heaven.
42And they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph, of whom we know the father and the mother? How, then, does this One now say, I have come down out of Heaven?
43Therefore Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur with one another.
44No one is able to come to Me if not the Father, the One having sent Me, draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45It is being written in the Prophets, They “shall” all “be taught of God.” Therefore every one hearing and having learned from the Father comes to Me; Isa. 54:13
46not that anyone has seen the Father, except He being from God, this One has seen the Father.
47Truly, truly, I say to you, The one believing into Me has everlasting life.
48I am the Bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50This is the Bread, the One coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51I am the Living Bread, the One having come down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live to the age. And indeed the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52Therefore the Jews argued with one another, saying, How can this One give us His flesh to eat?
53Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say 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.
54The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink.
56The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57Even as the living Father sent Me, and I live through the Father; also the one eating Me, even that one will live through Me.
58This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died; the one partaking of this Bread will live to the age.
59He said these things teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum.
60Then many of His disciples having heard, they said, This Word is hard; who is able to hear it?
61But knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, He said to them, Does this cause you to stumble ?
62Then what if you see the Son of Man going up where He was before?
63It is the Spirit, the One making alive. The flesh does not profit, nothing! The words which I speak to you are spirit and are life.
64But there are some of you who are not believing. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are, the ones not believing, and who is the one giving Him over.
65And He said, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to Me if it is not given to him from My Father.
66From this time many of His disciples went away into the things behind, and no longer walked with Him.
67Therefore, Jesus said to the Twelve, Do you not also wish to go?
68Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life.
69And we have believed and have known that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
70Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!
71But He spoke of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, for this one was going to give Him over, being one of the Twelve.
