The Words of Eternal Life

John 6

60 t When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" 61 But Jesus, v knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see w the Son of Man x ascending to y where he was before? 63 z It is the Spirit who gives life; a the flesh is no help at all. b The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But c there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus v knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and d who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, "This is why I told you e that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."

66 f After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to g the Twelve, "Do you want to go away as well?" 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have h the words of eternal life, 69 and i we have believed, and have come to know, that j you are k the Holy One of God." 70 Jesus answered them, l "Did I not choose you, g the Twelve? And yet one of you is m a devil." 71 He spoke of Judas n the son of Simon Iscariot, for o he, one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.
