41 The Jews [2453] then [3767] murmured [1111] at [4012] him [846], because [3754] he said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] the bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772].
67 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto the twelve [1427], [3361] Will [2309] ye [5210] also [2532] go away [5217]?
60 Many [4183] therefore [3767] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101], when they had heard [191] this, said [2036], This [3778] is [2076] an hard [4642] saying [3056]; who [5101] can [1410] hear [191] it [846]?
61 When [1161] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] in [1722] himself [1438] that [3754] his [846] disciples [3101] murmured [1111] at [4012] it [5127], he said [2036] unto them [846], Doth this [5124] offend [4624] you [5209]?
62 What and [3767] if [1437] ye shall see [2334] the Son [5207] of man [444] ascend up [305] where [3699] he was [2258] before [4386]?
63 It is [2076] the spirit [4151] that quickeneth [2227]; the flesh [4561] [3756] profiteth [5623] nothing [3762]: the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213], they are [2076] spirit [4151], and [2532] they are [2076] life [2222].
64 But [235] there are [1526] some [5100] of [1537] you [5216] that [3739] believe [4100] not [3756]. For [1063] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] from [1537] the beginning [746] who [5101] they were [1526] that believed [4100] not [3361], and [2532] who [5101] should [2076] betray [3860] him [846].
65 And [2532] he said [3004], Therefore [1223] [5124] said I [2046] unto you [5213], that [3754] no man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], except [3362] it were [5600] given [1325] unto him [846] of [1537] my [3450] Father [3962].
66 From [1537] that [5127] time many [4183] of his [846] disciples [3101] went [565] back [1519] [3694], and [2532] walked [4043] no more [3765] with [3326] him [846].
63 It is [2076] the spirit [4151] that quickeneth [2227]; the flesh [4561] [3756] profiteth [5623] nothing [3762]: the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213], they are [2076] spirit [4151], and [2532] they are [2076] life [2222].
