John 6:45-69

Rotherham(i) 45 It is written in the prophets,––And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God,––this one, hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age–abiding. 48 I am the bread of life:–– 49 Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna,––and died: 50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat,––and not die. 51 I, am the living bread, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age–abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh––for the world’s life. 52 The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying––How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat? 53 Jesus, therefore, 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 not life within yourselves. 54 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age–abiding, and, I, will raise him up at the last day; 55 For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink: 56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me,––and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason of me. 58 This, is the bread, which, out of heaven, came down:––Not just as your fathers did eat––and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age–abiding. 59 These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
60 Many, of his disciples, therefore, when they heard, said––Hard, is this discourse,––Who can, thereunto, hearken? 61 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them––Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble? 62 [What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? . . . 63 The spirit, it is, that giveth life,––the flesh, profiteth, nothing: The declarations which, I, have spoken unto you, are, spirit, and, are, life. 64 But there are some from among you, who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who it was would deliver him up; –– 65 and he went on to say––For this cause, have I said unto you: No one, can come unto me, except it have been given him, of the Father. 66 Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking. 67 Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve––Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw? 68 Simon Peter answered him––Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age–abiding, thou hast; 69 And, we, have believed, and come to know,––that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
