English Standard Version
John 6:58-66
English Standard Version
58 (A)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (B)at Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 (C)When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, (D)knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see (E)the Son of Man (F)ascending to (G)where he was before? 63 (H)It is the Spirit who gives life; (I)the flesh is no help at all. (J)The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But (K)there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus (L)knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and (M)who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you (N)that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
66 (O)After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

John 6:58-66
New International Version
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(A) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(B) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(C)
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(D) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(E) ascend to where he was before!(F) 63 The Spirit gives life;(G) the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[a] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known(H) from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.(I) 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”(J)
66 From this time many of his disciples(K) turned back and no longer followed him.
