Yoḥanan (John) 6
6
1After this יהושע went away to the other side of the Sea of Galil, that is Lake Kinnereth.
2And a large crowd was following Him, because they saw His signs which He did on those who were sick.
3And יהושע went up on a mountain, and there He sat down with His taught ones.
4And the Pĕsaḥ was near, the festival of the Yehuḏim.
5Then יהושע, lifting up His eyes and seeing a large crowd coming toward Him, said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for them to eat?”
6And this He said, trying him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii#A Roman monetary unit. worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for every one of them to receive a little.”
8One of His taught ones, Andri, the brother of Shim‛on Kĕpha, said to Him,
9Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these for so many?
10And יהושע said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place, and the men, numbering about five thousand, sat down.
11And יהושע took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the taught ones, and the taught ones to those sitting down. And the same with the fish, as much as they wished.
12And when they were filled, He said to His taught ones, “Gather the broken pieces that are left over, so that none gets wasted.”
13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14Then the men, having seen the sign that יהושע did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming to the world.”
15Then יהושע, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him sovereign, withdrew again to the mountain, alone by Himself.
16And when evening came, His taught ones went down to the sea,
17and entering into the boat, they were going over the sea toward Kephar Naḥum. And it had already become dark, and יהושע had not yet come to them.
18And the sea was rising because a great wind was blowing.
19When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,#Approx. 5 to 6 kilometres or 3 to 4 miles. they saw יהושע walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
20And He said to them, “It is I, do not be afraid.”
21They wished therefore to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat was at the land where they were going.
22On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone –
23but other boats came from Kinnereth, near the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks –
24therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע was not there, nor His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע.
25And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”
26יהושע answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied.
27Do not labour for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam shall give you,#See John 6:35; John 6:48; John 6:51; John 6:58; Mat. 4:4 for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on Him.”
28So they said to Him, “What should we do to work the works of Elohim?”
29יהושע answered and said to them, “This is the work of Elohim, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
30So they said to Him, “What sign then would You do, so that we see and believe You? What would You do?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread out of the heaven to eat.’# Psa. 78:24; Psa. 105:40; Neh. 9:15
32Therefore יהושע said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Mosheh did not give you the bread out of the heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of the heaven.
33For the bread of Elohim is He who comes down out of the heaven and gives life to the world.
34So they said to Him, “Master, give us this bread always.”
35And יהושע said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall not get hungry at all, and he who believes in Me shall not get thirsty at all.
36“But I said to you that you have seen Me, and still do not believe.
37“All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I shall by no means cast out.
38“Because I have come down out of the heaven, not to do My own desire, but the desire of Him who sent Me.
39“This is the desire of the Father who sent Me, that all He has given Me I should not lose of it, but should raise it in the last day.
40And this is the desire of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him should possess everlasting life. And I shall raise him up in the last day.
41Therefore the Yehuḏim were grumbling against Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down out of the heaven.”
42And they said, “Is not this יהושע, the son of Yosĕph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down out of the heaven’?”
43Then יהושע answered and said to them, “Do not grumble with one another.
44“No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I shall raise him up in the last day.
45It has been written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by יהוה.’# Isa. 54:13; Jer. 31:34 Everyone, then, who has heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me.
46“Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from Elohim – He has seen the Father.
47“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me possesses everlasting life.
48“I am the bread of life.
49“Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
50“This is the bread which comes down out of the heaven, so that anyone might eat of it, and not die.
51“I am the living bread which came down out of the heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever. And indeed, the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
52The Yehuḏim, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us His flesh to eat?”
53יהושע therefore said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Aḏam and drink His blood, you possess no life in yourselves.
54“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood possesses everlasting life, and I shall raise him up in the last day.
55“For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink.
56“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood stays in Me, and I in him.
57“As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me shall live because of Me.
58This is the bread which came down out of the heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread shall live forever.
59He said this in a congregation, teaching in Kephar Naḥum.
60Therefore many of His taught ones having heard, said, “This word is hard, who is able to hear it?”
61But יהושע knowing within Himself that His taught ones were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this make you stumble?
62“What if you see the Son of Aḏam going up where He was before?
63It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh does not profit at all. The words that I speak to you are Spirit and are life.#See John 6:68; 1Cor. 15:45
64But there are some of you who do not believe. For יהושע knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would deliver Him up.
65And He said, “Because of this I have said to you that no one is able to come to Me unless it has been given to him by My Father.”
66From then on many of His taught ones withdrew and were not walking with Him any more.
67יהושע therefore said to the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
68Then Shim‛on Kĕpha answered Him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You possess words of everlasting life.
69And we have believed, and we know that You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.
70יהושע answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
71He was now speaking of Yehuḏah from Qerioth, the son of Shim‛on, for he, one of the twelve, was about to deliver Him up.

Yochanan 6

1After these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed beyond Lake Kinneret (Lake Tiberias).
2And a riezige (sizable) multitude was following him, because they were seeing the otot (miraculous signs) which he was doing on the cholim (the ones being ill).
3And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain, and there he was sitting with his talmidim.
4Pesach was near at hand, the Chag (Jewish Feast).
5Therefore, having lifted up his eyes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw that a great multitude is coming to him, and he says to Philippos, From where may we buy lechem that these ones may eat?
6But he was saying this to test Philippos, for he himself knew what he was about to do.
7In reply, Philippos said, Two hundred denarii worth of lechem would not be enough that each one may take a little okhel.
8One of his talmidim, Andrew, ach of Shim'on Kefa, says to him,
9There is a na'ar (lad) here who has five barley loaves and two dagim (fish), but what are these for so many?#6:9 2Kgs 4:43
10Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Instruct the anashim (men) to recline. Now there was much grass in the area. Therefore the anashim reclined, their number being about chameshet alafim.
11Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the loaves and, having made the bracha, distributed to the ones bimesibba (reclining); likewise also he distributed of the dagim (fish) as much as they were wanting.
12Now when they were filled, he tells his talmidim, Gather the shirayim (Rebbeʼs leftovers), that nothing may be lost.
13Therefore, what they gathered from the five barley loaves filled Sheneym Asar (Twelve) baskets of shirayim left over by the ones having eaten.
14Therefore, the anashim, having seen what ot (miraculous sign) he did, were saying, This one is beemes the Navi, Hu HaBah, the one coming into the Olam Hazeh.#6:14 Dt 18:15,18
15Therefore, Yehoshua, having had da'as that they are about to come and to seize him that they might make him king by force, departed alone again to the mountain, withdrawing by himself.
16And as erev came, his talmidim went down to the sea.
17And having embarked into a sirah, they were going across the sea to K'far-Nachum. And choshech already had come and Yehoshua had not yet come to them.
18And the sea, as a great wind blew, was becoming aroused.
19Therefore, having rowed about esrim v'chamash or sheloshim stadia, they see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach walking on the sea and coming near the sirah, and they were gefeirlich (horribly) frightened.#6:19 Job 9:8
20But he says to them, Ani Hu. Do not be afraid.
21Therefore, the talmidim were willing to receive him into the sirah. And immediately the sirah came to the shore to which they were going.
22On the next day the multitude that had stayed on the other side of Lake Kinneret saw that there had been only one sirah with which to cross the sea. They knew that Yehoshua had not embarked with his talmidim in that sirah, but that his talmidim had departed by themselves.
23Then some sirot (boats) came ashore from Tiberias and landed near the area where they ate the lechem after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu had made the bracha.
24Therefore, when the multitude saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is not there, nor his talmidim, they embarked into the sirot and came to K'far-Nachum, seeking Yehoshua.
25And having found him across the sea, they said to him, Rebbe, when did you come here?
26In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Omein, omein, I say to you, you are seeking me not because you saw otot (miraculous signs), but because you ate of the loaves and were glutted.
27Do not work for the okhel that is perishing, but for the okhel remaining to Chayyei Olam, which the Bar Enosh#6:27 Moshiach will give to you, for Elohim HaAv has set His chotam (seal) on this one.#6:27 Isa 55:2
28Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, What may we do that we may work the pe'ulot Hashem?
29In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, This is the mitzvah of Hashem, that you may believe in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach whom Hashem has sent.
30They said, therefore, to him, What ot (sign) then do you perform that we may see and may have emunah in you? What work do you do?
31Avoteinu ate the manna in the wilderness,#6:31 Num 11:7-9; Ex 16:4,15; Neh 9:15 as it has been written, LECHEM from SHOMAYIM he gave them to eat.#6:31 Ps 78:24; 105:40
32Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, it was not Moshe who has given you the lechem out of Shomayim, but HaAv of me gives you the lechem ha'amitti (the true bread) out of Shomayim.
33For the lechem of Hashem is that which comes down out of Shomayim and giving Chayyim (Life) to HaOlam.
34Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, always give us this lechem.
35Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Ani Hu#6:35 Ex 3:14 the lechem haChayyim; the one coming to me never hungers, and the one with emunah in me will never thirst again.
36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not have bitachon, you lack emunah.
37All which HaAv gives to me will come to me, and the one coming to me I will never turn away.
38For I have come down from Shomayim not that I may do my ratzon, but the ratzon of the One having sent me.
39Now this is the ratzon of the One Who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all which He has given me, but I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon (Last Day).#6:39 Isa 27:3; Jer 23:4
40For this is the ratzon of Avi: that everyone seeing the Ben#6:40 HaElohim Moshiach and believing in him may have Chayyei Olam, and on Yom HaAcharon I will raise him up.
41Therefore, those of Yehudah were murmuring about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because he said, Ani Hu#6:41 Ex 3:14 the lechem having come down out of Shomayim.#6:41 Ex 16:4
42And they were saying, Is this man not Yehoshua Ben Yosef,#6:42 Ben Dovid and do we not know his Av and his Em? Now how does he say, Out of Shomayim I have come down.#6:42 Jn 1:1,14
43Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, Do not grumble among yourselves.
44No one is able to come to me unless HaAv Who sent me should draw him, and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon.#6:44 Jer 31:3; Hos 11:4
45It has been written in the Nevi'im, V'CHOL they LIMUDI HASHEM (They shall all be taught of G-d).#6:45 Isa 54:13; see Jer 31:33,34 Everyone having heard from HaAv and having learned comes to me.
46Not that anyone has seen HaAv except the one being sent from Hashem; this one has seen HaAv.
47Omein, omein, I say to you, the one having emunah has Chayyei Olam.
48Ani Hu the lechem haChayyim.#6:48 Num 14:23; Dt 1:35
49Your Avot ate in the wilderness the manna and died.
50This is the lechem coming down out of Shomayim, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.#6:50 Gn 3:22
51Ani hu the lechem haChai (the living bread) having come down out of Shomayim. If anyone eats of this lechem he will live l'olam v'ed. And, indeed, the lechem which I will give on behalf of the Chayyim (life) of HaOlam is the basar of me.#6:51 Ex 12:8
52Therefore, those of Yehudah were arguing with one another, saying, How is this man able to give us the basar of him to eat?
53Therefore, he said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, unless you eat the#6:53 Seudas Moshiach Seh basar of the Bar Enosh and drink#6:53 the Kiddush Cup of the Brit Chadasha in his dahm, you do not have Chayyim (Life) in yourselves.#6:53 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7
54The one feeding on my#6:54 Seh Elohim basar and drinking#6:54 Cup of Redemption in dahmi has Chayyei Olam and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon.#6:54 Ruth 4:5,10
55For my basar is okhel emes (true food) and dahmi is shikuy emes (true drink).
56The one feeding on my basar and drinking dahmi abides in,#6:56 Isa 53:7; Ex 12:3 dwells in me and I in him.#6:56 Ex 12:22
57As HaAv HaChai sent me and I live because of HaAv, so also whoever is feeding on me even that one will live because of me.
58This is the lechem out of Shomayim having come down, not as the Avot ate and died; the one feeding on this lechem will live l'olam v'ed.
59These things he said in a shul while teaching in K'far-Nachum.
60Therefore, many of Moshiachʼs talmidim, having heard, said, Hard is this dvar torah. Who is able to hear it?#6:60 Isa 53:1
61And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da'as in himself that his talmidim are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause a michshol for you?
62What if you behold the Bar Enosh ascending where he was Bereshis?
63The Ruach Hakodesh is that which is making alive, the basar does not profit anything. The devarim which I have spoken to you are as Ruach and they are as Chayyim (Life).
64But there are of you some who do not have emunah. For from Bereshis, he had da'as of whom are the ones not having emunah and who is the one betraying him.
65And he was saying, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to me unless it has been bashert to him from HaAv.
66From this time, many of his talmidim fell away and no longer followed him as talmidim.
67Therefore, he said to the Sheneym Asar, Surely you do not want to depart also?
68In reply, Shim'on Kefa said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, to whom will we go? You have the divrei haChayyei Olam.
69And we have bitachon and have trusted with emunah and we have da'as that you are HaKadosh of Hashem#6:69 Isa 49:7 (the Holy One of G-d).
70In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Did I not choose you Sheneym Asar (Twelve)? And is one of you not a Satan?
71Now he was speaking of Yehudah Ben Shim'on from K'riot, for, though he was one of the Sheneym Asar, this one was about to betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
