UST YHN Chapter 6

YHN 6 ©

6After those things happened, Jesus crossed over to the opposite side of the Sea of Galilee, which some people also call the Sea of Tiberias. 2A large crowd followed him because they had seen the miraculous signs he was performing, that is, healing people who were very ill. 3Jesus walked up on a steep hillside and sat down there with his disciples. 4(Now at that time the Jewish Passover celebration was about to take place.) 5Jesus then looked up and saw a very large crowd of people walking toward him. He asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread in order to feed all these people?” 6(He asked Philip this question in order to test his faith, because Jesus already knew what he was going to do about the problem.) 7Philip replied to him, “If we had the money that a man can earn in 200 days of work, it would not be enough money to buy bread to give each person in this crowd even a little piece to eat.” 8Another disciple of his, Simon Peter’s brother Andrew, told Jesus, 9“There is a boy here who has five little loaves of barley bread and two small fish. Yet, these few loves and fish are certainly not enough to feed all these people!” 10Jesus told his disciples to make the people sit down. Thus about 5,000 men sat down. (There was a lot of grass in that place for them to sit down on.) 11Jesus then took the little loaves of barley bread, and he thanked God for the food. Then he and his disciples gave the loaves to the people who were sitting on the grass in order to eat. He did the same with the two fish. The people ate all the fish and bread that they wanted to eat. 12When everyone had eaten until they were full, Jesus told his disciples to collect all the leftover, uneaten pieces of barley bread in order that none of it would be wasted. 13Thus his disciples collected the pieces, and they filled 12 large baskets with the broken pieces that the people had left over from the five little loaves of barley bread.

14Because of this, when the people saw this miraculous sign that Jesus had performed in front of them, they said, “Surely he is the Prophet whom God promised to send into the world!” 15When Jesus knew that the people were planning to grab him in order to force him to be their king, he left them again and went up the hillside to be completely alone.

16When it was evening, Jesus’ disciples walked down the hillside to the Sea of Galilee. 17They got into a boat and started to sail across the sea to the town of Capernaum. (It had already become dark, and Jesus had still not joined them.) 18Because the wind was blowing strongly, it was causing the sea to be very turbulent. 19After Jesus’ disciples had rowed the boat around four-and-a-half or five-and-a-half kilometers out into the sea, they saw Jesus walking on the water and approaching the boat. They were terrified! 20Jesus told them, “It is I, Jesus! Stop being afraid!” 21They were very glad to take him into the boat. As soon as he was with them in the boat, their boat arrived at the place where they were going.

22The day after Jesus had fed the crowd, the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the sea realized that there had been only one boat there the day before. They also knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his disciples. 23(People came from the city of Tiberias in other boats. They put their boats near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread after the Lord Jesus had thanked God for it.) 24So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into those boats and sailed to the city of Capernaum to look for Jesus.

25The crowd found Jesus in Capernaum on the side of the Sea of Galilee that is opposite from where he had fed them. They asked him, “Teacher, we know you didn’t come in a boat, so when did you arrive here at Capernaum?” 26Jesus replied, “I am telling you the truth: You are not looking for me because you saw the miraculous signs that I performed. Rather, you are looking for me only because you ate until you were full of the loaves of bread that I gave you. 27Stop working for food that will soon spoil! Instead, work for the food that will bring you life forever in heaven! That food is the bread that I, the Son of Man, will give you. I alone can give it to you because God my Father approves of me.”

28Then the crowd asked Jesus, “What works should we do in order to please God?” 29Jesus answered them, “The work that God wants you to do is this: Trust in me, the one whom he has sent.” 30The crowd asked him, “Then what miracle will you do in order for us to see it and trust in you? What will you do for us? 31Our ancestors ate manna when they wandered in the wilderness with Moses, just as the prophets wrote: ‘God gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’ ”

32Jesus answered them, “I am telling you the truth: It was not Moses who gave your ancestors that bread from heaven. No, it was my Father, who is now giving you the true bread out of heaven. 33This is true because the true bread from God has come down from heaven and gives eternal life to the people in the world.”

34The crowd did not understand what he meant, so they said to Jesus, “Sir, please give this bread to us all the time.” 35Jesus told the crowd, “Like food sustains physical life, I am the bread that gives eternal life. Unlike with food or drink, anyone who trusts in me will surely be satisfied forever. 36Nevertheless, I have already told you that even though you see me, you still do not trust me. 37All the people my Father gives to me will come and be my disciples, and I will surely never drive away any of them. 38I will never do that because I have not come down from heaven in order to do what I want. Rather, I have come down in order to do what my Father, who sent me, wants me to do. 39This is what my Father, who sent me, wants: He wants me to keep all of those whom he has given to me. He also wants me to make these ones alive again on the last day when I judge everyone. 40This is true because this is also what my Father wants: He wants everyone who recognizes who I, the Son, am, and trusts in me to live forever with me in heaven. I will make these ones alive again on the last day when I judge everyone.”

41The Jewish leaders then started to grumble about Jesus, because he had said that he was the true bread that had come down out of heaven. 42They said, “This is just Jesus, Joseph’s son! We know who his parents are. He cannot possibly have come down out of heaven as he claims!” 43Jesus answered them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves about what I just said. 44Only those whom my Father, who sent me, causes to come and be my disciples are able to do so. I myself will make those people who come to me alive again on the last day when I judge everyone. 45The prophets wrote that God will teach everyone. Everyone who listens to and learns from my Father will come and be my disciples. 46No one has seen God my Father other than me. I am the one who came from God. I alone have seen him. 47I am telling you the truth: Whoever trusts in me will live forever with me in heaven. 48I am the true bread that gives eternal life. 49Your ancestors ate manna when they wandered in the wilderness with Moses, but they still died. 50But this bread that I am talking about came down out of heaven in order that someone would eat it and that person’s spirit would never die. 51I truly am this bread that gives eternal life and came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever with me in heaven. My body is also this bread. I will give up my body for the sake of the eternal life of everyone in the world.”

52The Jewish leaders then started arguing with each other. They said, “This man surely cannot give his body to us in order for us to eat it!” 53So Jesus told them: “I am telling you the truth: You must eat the flesh of me, the Son of Man, and drink my blood. If you do not do these things, then you will never have eternal life. 54Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood will live forever with me in heaven. I will also make that person alive again on the last day when I judge everyone. 55This is so because my flesh is true spiritual food, and my blood is true spiritual drink. 56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will be united with me, and I will be united with them. 57My Father makes everyone alive. He has sent me here, and I can make people alive because he has enabled me to do so. In the same way, those who feed on me will live forever because of what I will do for them. 58I am this bread that has come down out of heaven. This bread is not like the bread that the Israelite ancestors ate in the wilderness but still eventually died. Anyone who eats me—this bread—will live forever with me in heaven.” 59Jesus said these statements to the Jewish leaders in a synagogue while he was teaching in the city of Capernaum.

60After they heard what he had said, many of Jesus’ disciples said, “What he is teaching is difficult to accept. Indeed, no one can accept it!” 61Although no one told him, Jesus knew that his disciples were grumbling about what he had said. So he asked them, “Did my teaching offend you? 62If this teaching has offended you, then would you also be offended if you saw me, the Son of Man, ascending to heaven where I was formerly? 63The Holy Spirit is the only one who can give anyone eternal life. Human nature is useless in this matter. What I have taught you comes from the Holy Spirit and gives eternal life. 64Nevertheless, some of you do not believe what I have said.” (Jesus said this because he knew since he began his work who would not believe him and who would eventually betray him.)

65Then Jesus said, “Because some of you do not believe me, I told you earlier that only those to whom God the Father has given the ability to come and be my disciple will be able to do so.”

66After Jesus said these things, a lot of his disciples went back to doing what they had been doing before they met him and stopped being his disciples. 67Because so many left him, Jesus asked his twelve disciples, “Surely you do not also want to leave me, do you?” 68Simon Peter replied, “Lord, if we were to leave you, there is no one else we could go to! Only you teach the message that allows us to live forever in heaven! 69We trust in you, and we know for certain that you are the Holy One who has come from God!” 70Jesus answered them, “I surely chose all you twelve men, but one of you is under the control of Satan!” 71(When Jesus said this he was talking about Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, because he was the one among the twelve disciples who would later betray Jesus.)
