1 After these things Yahshua departed across the sea of Galilaia from Tiberias, 2 and a great crowd followed Him, because they had observed the signs which he made for those who were sick. 3 Then Yahshua went up into the mountain and sat there with His students. 4 Now it was near the Passover, the feast of the Judaeans. 5 Then Yahshua raising His eyes and observing that a great crowd comes to Him, says to Philippos: "From where could we buy bread, that they may eat?" 6 But He said this trying him, for He knew what He was going to do. 7 Philippos replied to Him: "Two hundred denarions' worth of loaves are not sufficient for them, that each would receive a little!" 8 One of His students, Andreas the brother of Simon Petros, says to Him: " 9 There is a young boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these for so many?" 10 Yahshua said "Cause the men to recline." Now there was much grass at the place. Then the men reclined, the number being about five thousand. 11 Then Yahshua took the loaves and giving thanks distributed equally to those reclining, and as much as they desired of the fishes. 12 Then as they were satiated, He says to His students: "Gather the excess fragments, that not anything is lost." 13 So they gathered and had filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves which had been left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then the men, seeing the sign which He had made, said that "this is truly the Prophet who is coming into the Society!" 15 Then Yahshua, knowing that they were going to come and to seize Him in order that they would make Him king, He alone withdrew back into the mountain. 16 Now as it was late, His students went down to the sea 17 and boarding into a vessel they went across the sea to Kapharnaoum. And already it had become dark, and Yahshua had not yet come to them, 18 and the sea was stirred up, a great wind blowing. 19 Then having sailed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they observe Yahshua walking upon the sea and coming near the vessel, and they feared. 20 Then He says to them: "I am. Do not be afraid." 21 Then they wanted to take Him into the vessel, and immediately the vessel came upon the land to which they were going. 22 On the next day the crowd which stood across the sea had seen that there was not another boat there except one, and that Yahshua had not entered together with His students into the vessel, but only His students had departed. 23 But vessels came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread giving thanks to Yahweh. 24 Therefore when the crowd had seen that Yahshua is not there, nor His students, they themselves boarded into the boats and came to Kapharnaoum seeking Yahshua. 25 And finding Him across the sea they said to Him "Rabbi, when did You arrive here?" 26 Yahshua replied to them and said: "Truly, truly I say to you, you seek Me not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten of the loaves and have been satiated! 27 You must work not for that food which perishes but for that food which abides for eternal life, which the Son of Man shall give to you. Indeed Yahweh the Father has confirmed Him!" 28 Then they said to Him "What should we do that we may accomplish the works of Yahweh?" 29 Yahshua replied and said to them: "This is the work of Yahweh: that you would believe in Him whom He sent!" 30 Then they said to Him: "Then what sign do You do, in order that we would see and we may believe in You? What could You accomplish? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert, just as it is written: 'bread from heaven He had given them to eat.'" 32 Then Yahshua said to them: "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give to you bread from heaven, but My Father gives to you the true bread from heaven! 33 For the bread of Yahweh is He descending from heaven and giving life to the Society!" 34 Then they said to Him: "Prince, always give to us this bread!" 35 Yahshua said to them: "I am the bread of life! He coming to Me shall not hunger, and he believing in Me shall not ever thirst! " 36 But I have said to you that even you have seen Me and you do not believe. 37 Each whom the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and he coming to Me I shall not cast outside, 38 because I have descended from heaven not in order that I would do that of My will, but the will of He who has sent Me. 39 This is the will of He who has sent Me: That each of them who are given to Me I shall not destroy, but I shall resurrect them in the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father: that each who seeing the Son and believing in Him would have eternal life, and I shall resurrect him in the last day. 41 Then the Judaeans muttered concerning Him because He said "I am the bread which descends from heaven", 42 and they said "Is this not Yahshua the son of Ioseph, whose father and mother we know? How now does He say that "I have descended from heaven'?" 43 Yahshua replied and said to them: "Do not mutter among one another. 44 No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me should compel him, and I shall resurrect him in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, 'And they all shall be taught by Yahweh." All who hearing from Yahweh and learning come to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who being from Yahweh, he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly I say to you, he believing in Me has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life! 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the desert and they died. 50 This is the bread which is descending from heaven, that one may eat from it and would not die. 51 I am the living bread which has descended from heaven. If one would eat from this bread, he shall live for eternity. But also the bread which I shall give is My flesh in behalf of the life of the Society!" 52 Then the Judaeans disputed with one another saying "How is He able to give to us His flesh to eat?" 53 Therefore Yahshua said to them: "Truly, truly I say to you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have not life in yourselves! 54 He eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I shall resurrect him in the last day! 55 For My flesh is the true food, and My blood is the true drink. 56 He eating My flesh and drinking My blood abides in Me and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father has sent Me and I live through the Father, he who is eating Me, he also shall live through Me. 58 This is the bread which has descended from heaven, not as the fathers ate and they died. He eating this bread shall live for eternity!" 59 He spoke these things teaching in the assembly hall in Kapharnaoum. 60 Then many of His students listening said "This is a hard saying. Who is able to understand it?" 61 And Yahshua, within Himself knowing that His students muttered concerning this, said to them: "This offends you? 62 Then if you should observe the Son of Man ascending where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit which produces life, the flesh does not benefit anything. The words which I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life. 64 But some from among you are they who do not believe." (For Yahshua knew from the beginning who they who do not believe are, and who it is who shall betray Him.) 65 And He said: "For this reason I said to you that no one is able to come to Me unless it should be given to him from the Father." 66 With this many from among His students departed for the former things and no longer walked with Him. 67 Therefore Yahshua said to the twelve: "Do you not also wish to go away?" 68 Simon Petros replied to Him: "Prince, to what shall we depart? You have the words of life, 69 and we believe and know that You are the Holy One of Yahweh!" 70 Yahshua replied to them: "Have I not chosen you twelve? Yet one from among you is a false accuser!" 71 (Now He spoke about Ioudas the son of Simon Iskarioth, for he was going to betray Him, being one of the twelve.)
