John 6:56-69 (Monday)
56 |
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. |
57 |
As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. |
58 |
This is the bread which came down from heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever. |
59 |
These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. |
60 |
Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" |
61 |
When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? |
62 |
What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? |
63 |
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. |
64 |
But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. |
65 |
And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." |
66 |
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. |
67 |
Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" |
68 |
But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. |
69 |
Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. |
