Many Disciples Turn Away

60 aTherefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a1 hard saying; who can understand it?”  
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples1 complained about this, He said to them, “Does this2 offend you?  
62 aWhat then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?  
63 aIt is the Spirit who gives life; the bflesh profits nothing. The cwords that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.  
64 But athere are some of you who do not believe.” For bJesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

John 6:60

A hard saying (sklhrov). "This saying is a hard one." Old adjective, rough, harsh, dried hard (from skellw, to dry), probably the last saying of Jesus that he was the bread of life come down from heaven and they were to eat him. It is to be hoped that none of the twelve joined the many disciples in this complaint.

Hear it (autou akouein). Or "hear him," hear with acceptation. For akouw with the genitive see John 10:3, John 10:16, John 10:27.
