约翰福音 6

五饼二鱼

1 这些事以后，耶稣渡过加利利湖t，也就是太巴列湖，到对岸去。2 有一大群人，因为看到他在病人身上所行的神迹，就跟随他。

3 耶稣上了山，与他的门徒们在那里坐下。4 那时犹太人的逾越节快到了。5 耶稣举目观看，见一大群人向他走来，就对腓力说：“我们从哪里买饼给这些人吃呢？”6 他说这话是要试试腓力，其实他自己已经知道要做什么了。

7 腓力回答：“就是两百个银币t的饼，也不够每个人吃一小块！”

8 他的一个门徒，就是西门彼得的弟弟安得烈，对耶稣说：9 “这里有个孩子，带了五个大麦饼和两条鱼。可是对这么多人，这些算什么呢？”

10 耶稣说：
“让他们坐下来。”地方草多，他们坐了下来；男人的数目约有五千。11 耶稣就拿起饼来，祝谢以后，分给那些坐着的人t，把鱼也如此分了，他们要多少就给多少。

12 大家吃饱了以后，耶稣就对他的门徒们说：“把剩下的碎块收拾起来，免得浪费。”13 他们就把大家吃剩的那五个大麦饼的碎块收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。

14 众人看见耶稣所行的神迹，就说：“这个人确实是那位要来到世上的先知！”15 耶稣看出他们要来强迫他做王，就又独自退到山上去了。

在水面上行走

16 到了晚上，他的门徒们下到湖边。17 他们上了船，开始渡过湖往迦百农去。原来天色已经黑了，而耶稣还没有来到他们那里。18 当时，大风吹起，湖水翻腾。19 他们已经划了约有四、五公里t，看到耶稣在湖面上行走，逐渐向船靠近，他们就感到惧怕。

20 耶稣对他们说：“是我，不要怕！”21 门徒们这才愿意接他上船。船立刻就到了他们所要去的地方。

生命的粮

22 第二天，留在湖对岸的众人，知道在那里除了一条小船之外t，没有别的船；而且知道耶稣没有和他的门徒们一起上船，是门徒们自己去的。23 有几条别的小船从太巴列城来，靠近主祝谢后众人吃饼的地方。24 这样，众人一发现耶稣已经不在那里，连他的门徒们也不在那里，就上了船，往迦百农去找耶稣。

25 他们在湖的对岸找到了耶稣，就问他：“拉比，你是什么时候到这里来的？”

26 耶稣回答说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：你们找我，并不是因为看见了神迹，而是因为你们吃饼吃饱了。27 不要为那会腐败的食物做工，而要为那存留到永生的食物做工。这食物就是人子要给你们的，因为人子是父神所印证的。”

28 他们问：“我们应该做什么，才算做神的工作呢？”

29 耶稣回答说：“信神所派来的那一位，就是做神的工作。”

30 他们就问：“那么，你行个什么神迹，好让我们看了就可以信你呢？你可以做什么呢？31 我们的祖先在旷野吃了吗哪，正如经上所记：‘他把从天上来的粮赐给他们吃。’t”

32 耶稣对他们说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的，而是我父把从天上来的真粮赐给了你们。33 要知道，神的粮就是从天上降下来、赐生命给世人的那一位。”

34 他们就对耶稣说：“主啊，请你时常把这粮赐给我们！”

35 耶稣对他们说：“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的人，绝不饥饿；信我的人，永不干渴。36 但是我告诉过你们，你们虽然看到了我t，还是不信。37 凡是父赐给我的人，都会到我这里来，而到我这里来的人，我绝不丢弃t，38 因为我从天上降下来，不是要行自己的意思，而是要行那派我来者的意思。39 那派我来者t的旨意，就是要我不失去他赐给我的任何人，而且要我在末日使他复活。40 要知道，我父t的旨意正是：所有看见子而信他的人都得到永恒的生命，并且在末日，我将要使他复活。”

41 这时候，一些犹太人因为耶稣说‘我是从天上降下来的粮’就私下议论他，42 并说：“这不就是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗？我们不都认识他的父母吗？现在他怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’？”

43 耶稣就对他们说：“你们不要彼此议论了。44 如果不是派我来的父引领他，没有人能到我这里来；到我这里来的，在末日我还要使他复活。45 先知书上记着：‘他们都将成为神所教导的人。’t任何人听了并领会了从父而来的教导，就会到我这里来。46 这并不是说，有谁看到父；只有从神而来的那一位，他才看到父。

47 “我确确实实地告诉你们：信我t的人，就有永恒的生命。48 我就是生命的粮。49 你们的祖先在旷野吃了吗哪，还是死了。50 那从天上降下来、让人吃了而不死的粮，就在这里。51 我就是从天上降下来的生命的粮。人如果吃了这粮，就将活着，直到永远。我要赐的粮就是我的肉身，是为了世人的生命所赐的t。”

52 于是那些犹太人彼此争论，说：“这个人怎么能把自己的肉身给我们吃呢？”

53 耶稣说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：如果你们不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，你们里面就没有生命。54 吃我肉、喝我血的人，就有永恒的生命，在末日我还要使他复活；55 因为我的肉是真食物，我的血是真饮物。56 吃我肉、喝我血的人，住在我里面，我也住在他里面。57 永生的父怎样差派了我，我又因父而活，照样，以我为食的人也将因我而活。58 这才是从天上降下来的粮，不像吗哪。你们的t祖先吃过吗哪还是死了，而吃这粮的人就将活着，直到永远。”

59 这些话是耶稣在迦百农教导人的时候，在会堂里说的。

许多门徒离开耶稣

60 他的门徒当中有许多人听了，就说：“这话实在严厉，谁能听呢？”

61 耶稣自己里面知道他的门徒们为这话私下议论，就对他们说：“这话绊倒你们t吗？62 所以，如果你们看见人子升到他原先所在的地方，你们会怎么样呢？63 赐人生命的是灵t，肉体没有什么用。我对你们说的话就是灵，就是生命。64 然而你们当中有一些不信的人。”，耶稣从起初就知道哪些人不t信，也知道哪一个人要出卖他。65 耶稣又说：“所以我告诉过你们：如果不是蒙父所赐，没有人能到我这里来。”

66 从此耶稣的门徒中有许多人离开回到背后的事上，不再与他同行。67 耶稣就对十二使徒t说：“你们也不会想离开吧？”

68 西门彼得回答：“主啊，你有永恒生命的话语，我们还去归从谁呢？69 我们已经相信，也知道你就是神的那位圣者。t”

70 耶稣对他们说：“我不是拣选了你们十二使徒吗？可是你们当中有一个是魔鬼。”71 耶稣说的是加略人西门的儿子t犹大；这个人虽然是十二使徒中的一个，后来却要出卖耶稣。

John 6

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

1 After thist Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also called the Sea of Tiberias).s2 A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.3 So Jesus went on up the mountainsides and sat down there with his disciples.4 (Now the Jewish feast of the Passovers was near.)s5 Then Jesus, when he looked upt and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”6 (Now Jesust said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)s7 Philip replied,t “Two hundred silver coins wortht of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to get a little.”8 One of Jesus’ disciples,t Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

9 “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what goodt are these for so many people?”
10 Jesus said, “Havet the people sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.)s So the ment sat down, about five thousand in number.11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish,t as much as they wanted.12 When they were all satisfied, Jesust said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.”

13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loavess left over by the people who had eaten.
14 Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesust performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophetswho is to come into the world.”s

15 Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.s

Walking on Water

16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,t17 got into a boat, and started to cross the laket to Capernaum.s (It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)s18 By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea was getting rough.19 Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles,ts they caught sight of Jesus walking on the lake,t approaching the boat, and they were frightened.20 But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”

21 Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading.
22 The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the laket realized that only one small boatst had been there, and that Jesus had not boardedt it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.23 But some boats from Tiberiass came to shoret near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.ss

24 So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boatst and came to Capernaums looking for Jesus.

Jesus’ Discourse About the Bread of Life

25 When they found him on the other side of the lake,t they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”s26 Jesus replied,t “I tell you the solemn truth,t you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.t

27 Do not work for the food that disappears,ts but for the food that remains to eternal life – the foodt which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”t
28 So then they said to him, “What must we do to accomplish the deedst God requires?”t29 Jesus replied,t “This is the deedt God requirest – to believe in the one whom het sent.”30 So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

31 Our ancestorst ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”s
32 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth,t it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.33 For the bread of God is the one whot comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 So they said to him, “Sir,t give us this bread all the time!”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.ts36 But I told yout that you have seen mes and still do not believe.37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.t38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all upt at the last day.

40 For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him upt at the last day.”s
41 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesust began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”42 and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”43 Jesus replied,t “Do not complain about me to one another.t44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,ts and I will raise him up at the last day.45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’s Everyone who hears and learns from the Fathert comes to me.46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – het has seen the Father.)s47 I tell you the solemn truth,t the one who believess has eternal life.t48 I am the bread of life.t49 Your ancestorst ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.50 Thist is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a persont may eat from it and not die.

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The breadt that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesust began to argue with one another,t “How can this mant give us his flesh to eat?”53 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth,t unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,s you have no lifet in yourselves.54 The one who eatst my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.s55 For my flesh is truet food, and my blood is truet drink.56 The one who eatst my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.s57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumest me will live because of me.

58 Thist is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestorst ate, but then later died.t The one who eatst this bread will live forever.”

Many Followers Depart

59 Jesust said these things while he was teaching in the synagogues in Capernaum.s60 Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things,t said, “This is a difficultt saying!t Who can understand it?”t61 When Jesus was awaret that his disciples were complainingt about this, he said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?ts62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?t63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help!t The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.t64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)s

65 So Jesus added,t “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”t

Peter’s Confession

66 After this many of his disciples quit following himt and did not accompany himt any longer.67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?”t68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.69 Wet have come to believe and to knows that you are the Holy One of God!”ss70 Jesus replied,t “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?”t

71 (Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot,s for Judas,t one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)s
