John 6:60-69

New American Standard Bible

⁶⁰So then many of His ^(A)disciples, when they heard this, said, “^(B)This statement is very ^[a]unpleasant; who can listen to it?” ⁶¹But Jesus, ^(C)aware that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Is this ^[b]^(D)offensive to you? ⁶²What then if you see ^(E)the Son of Man ^(F)ascending to where He was before? ⁶³^(G)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; ^(H)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. ⁶⁴But there are ^(I)some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus ^(J)knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and ^(K)who it was who would ^[c]betray Him. ⁶⁵And He was saying, “For this reason I have ^(L)told you that no one can come to Me unless ^(M)it has been granted him from the Father.”

Peter’s Confession of Faith

⁶⁶As a result of this many of His ^(N)disciples ^(O)left, and would no longer walk with Him. ⁶⁷So Jesus said to ^(P)the twelve, “You do not want to leave also, do you?” ⁶⁸^(Q)Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^(R)words of eternal life. ⁶⁹And we have already believed and have come to know that You are ^(S)the Holy One of God.”
