John 6:63-65

The Words of Eternal Life

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."
