Unlike your ancestors who ate and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever. 59 He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60 On hearing this, many of his disciples said, 'This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?' 61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, 'Does this offend you?' 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before? 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are Spirit and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, 'This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to them by the Father.' 66 From that time, many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, 'Do you also want to leave?' 68 Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.' 70 Jesus answered them, 'Did I not choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.' 71 He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For Judas, one of the Twelve, was going to betray Him.
