6Verse 1After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee [District, Circuit], which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.Verse 2A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.Verse 3Yeshua [Salvation] went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.Verse 4Now the Judean [Person from Praise] festival of Pesac ·Passover·+was at hand.Verse 5Yeshua [Salvation] therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip [Loves horses], “Where are we to buy matzah ·unleavened bread·, that these may eat?”Verse 6This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.Verse 7Philip [Loves horses] answered him, “Two hundred denarii (200 days wages) worth of matzah ·unleavened bread· is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.”Verse 8One of his disciples, Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother, said to him,Verse 9“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”Verse 10Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.Verse 11Yeshua [Salvation] took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.Verse 12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”Verse 13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.Verse 14When therefore the people saw the sign which Yeshua [Salvation] did, they said, “This is truly the prophet (promised Messiah) who comes into the world.”Verse 15Yeshua [Salvation] therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.Verse 16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,Verse 17and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion]. It was now dark, and Yeshua [Salvation] had not come to them.Verse 18The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.Verse 19When therefore they had rowed between twenty-five stadia [3.3 mi; 4.6 km] to thirty stadia [4 mi; 5.6 km] distance, they saw Yeshua [Salvation] walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.Verse 20But he said to them, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], don’t be afraid.”Verse 21They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.Verse 22On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Yeshua [Salvation] hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.Verse 23However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.Verse 24When the multitude therefore saw that Yeshua [Salvation] was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], seeking Yeshua [Salvation].Verse 25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, when did you come here?”Verse 26Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.Verse 27Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Abba Father has sealed him.”Verse 28They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”Verse 29Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “This is the work of God, that you trust in him whom he has sent.”Verse 30They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and trust you? What work do you do?Verse 31Our fathers ate the manna ·what is it·+in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”+Verse 32Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it was not Moses [Drawn out] who gave you the manna ·what is it· out of heaven, but 'Avi ·my Father· gives you the true manna ·what is it· out of heaven.Verse 33For the manna of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”Verse 34They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this manna.”Verse 35Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who trusts in me will never be thirsty.Verse 36But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t trust.Verse 37+All those whom Abba ·Father· gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.Verse 38++For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.Verse 39This is the will of 'Avi ·my Father· who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.Verse 40This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and trusts in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”Verse 41The Jews [Praisers] therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”Verse 42They said, “Is not this Yeshua [Salvation], the son of Joseph [May he add], whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”Verse 43Therefore Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.Verse 44No one can come to me unless Abba Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.Verse 45It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by Adonai .’+Therefore everyone who hears from haAbba ·the Father·, and has learned, comes to me.Verse 46Not that anyone has seen Abba Father, except he who is from God. He has seen Abba Father.Verse 47Most certainly, I tell you, he who trusts in me has eternal life.Verse 48Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the bread of life.Verse 49Your fathers ate the manna ·what is it·+in the wilderness, and they died.Verse 50This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.Verse 51Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the living manna ·what is it· which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this manna, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”Verse 52The Jews [Praisers] therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”Verse 53Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.Verse 54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.Verse 55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.Verse 56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.Verse 57As the living Abba Father sent me, and I live because of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.Verse 58This is the bread which came down out of heaven— not as our fathers ate the manna ·what is it·, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”Verse 59He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion].Verse 60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”Verse 61But Yeshua [Salvation] knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·?Verse 62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?Verse 63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.Verse 64But there are some of you who don’t trust.” For Yeshua [Salvation] knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t trust, and who it was who would betray him.Verse 65He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by 'Avi ·my Father·.”Verse 66At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.Verse 67Yeshua [Salvation] said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”Verse 68Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.Verse 69We have come to trust and know that you are the Messiah [Anointed one], haBen haElohim Chayim [the Son of the God Living].”Verse 70Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil [Accuser]?”Verse 71Now he spoke of Judas [Praised], the son of Simeon [Hearing] from K'riot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
