John 6:61

John 6:61

59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

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.
