John 6:60 · BSB

John 6:60 in context

The verses around it, from John 6.

56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

57 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

59 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

61 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

62 Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

64 However, 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.)
