John 6

1

AFTER these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Γαλιλαίας τῆς Τιβεριάδος·

2

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς, ὅτι ἑώρων αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα ἐποίει ἐπὶ τῶν ἀσθενούντων.

3

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

ἀνῆλθε δὲ εἰς τὸ ὄρος Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ.

4

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα, ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων.

6

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγε πειράζων αὐτόν· αὐτὸς γὰρ ᾔδει τί ἔμελλε ποιεῖν.

7

Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Φίλιππος· διακοσίων δηναρίων ἄρτοι οὐκ ἀρκοῦσιν αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἕκαστος αὐτῶν βραχύ τι λάβῃ.

9

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

ἔστι παιδάριον ἓν ὧδε, ὃς ἔχει πέντε ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ δύο ὀψάρια· ἀλλὰ ταῦτα τί ἐστιν εἰς τοσούτους;

11

And Jesus 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.

ἔλαβε δὲ τοὺς ἄρτους Ἰησοῦς καὶ εὐχαριστήσας διέδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ἀνακειμένοις· ὁμοίως καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὅσον ἤθελον.

12

When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

ὡς δέ ἐνεπλήσθησαν, λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· συναγάγετε τὰ περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα, ἵνα μή τι ἀπόληται.

13

Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

συνήγαγον οὖν καὶ ἐγέμισαν δώδεκα κοφίνους κλασμάτων ἐκ τῶν πέντε ἄρτων τῶν κριθίνων ἐπερίσσευσε τοῖς βεβρωκόσιν.

14

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

οἱ οὖν ἄνθρωποι, ἰδόντες ἐποίησε σημεῖον Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγον ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς προφήτης ἐρχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον.

15

When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

Ἰησοῦς οὖν γνοὺς ὅτι μέλλουσιν ἔρχεσθαι καὶ ἁρπάζειν αὐτὸν ἵνα ποιήσωσιν αὐτὸν βασιλέα, ἀνεχώρησε πάλιν εἰς τὸ ὄρος αὐτὸς μόνος.

18

And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

τε θάλασσα ἀνέμου μεγάλου πνέοντος διηγείρετο.

19

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

ἐληλακότες οὖν ὡς σταδίους εἴκοσι πέντε τριάκοντα θεωροῦσι τὸν Ἰησοῦν περιπατοῦντα ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐγγὺς τοῦ πλοίου γινόμενον, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.

20

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

δέ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε.

21

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

ἤθελον οὖν λαβεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ εὐθέως τὸ πλοῖον ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν ὑπῆγον.

22

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὄχλος ἑστηκὼς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης ἰδὼν ὅτι πλοιάριον ἄλλο οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖ εἰ μὴ ἓν ἐκεῖνο εἰς ἐνέβησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι οὐ συνεισῆλθε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ πλοιάριον, ἀλλὰ μόνοι οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθον·

23

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

ἄλλα δὲ ἦλθε πλοιάρια ἐκ Τιβεριάδος ἐγγὺς τοῦ τόπου, ὅπου ἔφαγον τὸν ἄρτον εὐχαριστήσαντος τοῦ Κυρίου·

25

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

καὶ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἶπον αὐτῷ· ραββί, πότε ὧδε γέγονας;

26

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητεῖτέ με, οὐχ ὅτι εἴδετε σημεῖα, ἀλλὅτι ἐφάγετε ἐκ τῶν ἄρτων καὶ ἐχορτάσθητε.

27

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

ἐργάζεσθε μὴ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν ἀπολλυμένην, ἀλλὰ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἣν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει· τοῦτον γὰρ πατὴρ ἐσφράγισεν Θεός.

28

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτόν· τί ποιῶμεν ἵνα ἐργαζώμεθα τά ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ;

29

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ἔργον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἵνα πιστεύσητε εἰς ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος.

30

They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· τί οὖν ποιεῖς σὺ σημεῖον ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμέν σοι; τί ἐργάζῃ;

33

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

γὰρ ἄρτος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν καταβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ζωὴν διδοὺς τῷ κόσμῳ.

35

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς· ἐρχόμενος πρός με οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ, καὶ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ διψήσῃ πώποτε.

36

But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

ἀλλεἶπον ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ ἑωράκατέ με καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε.

37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

πᾶν δίδωσί μοι πατήρ, πρὸς ἐμὲ ἥξει, καὶ τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρός με οὐ μὴ ἐκβάλω ἔξω·

39

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

τοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με πατρός, ἵνα πᾶν δέδωκέ μοι μὴ ἀπολέσω ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.

40

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

τοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με, ἵνα πᾶς θεωρῶν τὸν υἱὸν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐγὼ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.

43

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

ἀπεκρίθη οὖν Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· μὴ γογγύζετε μετἀλλήλων.

45

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

ἔστι γεγραμμένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις· καὶ ἔσονται πάντες διδακτοὶ Θεοῦ. πᾶς ἀκούων παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ μαθὼν ἔρχεται πρός με·

46

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

οὐχ ὅτι τὸν πατέρα τις ἑώρακεν, εἰ μὴ ὢν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, οὗτος ἑώρακε τὸν πατέρα.

47

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

50

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

οὗτός ἐστιν ἄρτος ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων, ἵνα τις ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ.

51

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

ἐγώ εἰμι ἄρτος ζῶν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς· ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου, ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ἄρτος δὲ ὃν ἐγὼ δώσω, σάρξ μού ἐστιν, ἣν ἐγὼ δώσω ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς.

53

Then Jesus said unto them, 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.

εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα, οὐκ ἔχετε ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.

55

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

γὰρ σάρξ μου ἀληθῶς ἐστι βρῶσις, καὶ τὸ αἷμά μου ἀληθῶς ἐστι πόσις.

56

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα ἐν ἐμοὶ μένει, κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ.

57

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

καθὼς ἀπέστειλέ με ζῶν πατὴρ κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τρώγων με κἀκεῖνος ζήσεται διἐμέ.

59

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν συναγωγῇ διδάσκων ἐν Καπερναούμ.

61

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

εἰδὼς δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι γογγύζουσι περὶ τούτου οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο ὑμᾶς σκανδαλίζει;

63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστι τὸ ζωοποιοῦν, σὰρξ οὐκ ὠφελεῖ οὐδέν· τὰ ρήματα ἐγὼ λαλῶ ὑμῖν, πνεῦμά ἐστι καὶ ζωή ἐστιν.

64

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

ἀλλεἰσὶν ἐξ ὑμῶν τινες οἳ οὐ πιστεύουσιν. ᾔδει γὰρ ἐξ ἀρχῆς Ἰησοῦς τίνες εἰσὶν οἱ μὴ πιστεύοντες καὶ τίς ἐστιν παραδώσων αὐτόν.

65

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

καὶ ἔλεγε· διὰ τοῦτο εἴρηκα ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐλθεῖν πρός με, ἐὰν μὴ δεδομένον αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου.

68

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, πρὸς τίνα ἀπελευσόμεθα; ρήματα ζωῆς αἰωνίου ἔχεις·

71

He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

ἔλεγε δὲ τὸν Ἰούδαν Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτην· οὗτος γὰρ ἔμελλεν αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι, εἷς ὢν ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα.
