Compare all
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.  
65 And He said, “Therefore aI have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”  
66 aFrom that time many of His disciples went1 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 athe words of eternal life.  
69 aAlso we have come to believe and know that You are the1 Christ, the Son of the living God.”  
70 Jesus answered them, a“Did I not choose you, the twelve, band one of you is a devil?”  
71 He spoke of aJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would bbetray Him, being one of the twelve.

John 6:63

That quickeneth (to zwopoioun). Articular present active participle of zwopoiew for which see John 5:21. For the contrast between pneuma (spirit) and sarc (flesh) see already John 3:6.

The words (ta rhmata). Those in this discourse (I have just spoken, lelalhka), for they are the words of God (John 3:34; John 8:47; John 17:8). No wonder they "are spirit and are life" (pneuma estin kai zwh estin). The breath of God and the life of God is in these words of Jesus. Never man spoke like Jesus (John 7:46). There is life in his words today.
