Johannes 6
Svenska Folkbibeln
Jesus mättar fem tusen män
6 Därefter for Jesus över Galileiska sjön, Tiberias sjö. 2 Mycket folk följde honom, därför att de såg de tecken som han gjorde med de sjuka. 3 Men Jesus gick upp på berget och satte sig där med sina lärjungar. 4 Påsken, judarnas högtid, var nära.
5 När Jesus lyfte blicken och såg att mycket folk kom till honom, sade han till Filippus: "Var skall vi köpa bröd så att dessa får något att äta?" 6 Det sade han för att pröva honom, ty själv visste han vad han skulle göra. 7 Filippus svarade: "Bröd för två hundra denarer räcker inte för att alla skall få ett stycke var." 8 En annan av hans lärjungar, Andreas, Simon Petrus bror, sade till honom: 9 "Här är en pojke som har fem kornbröd och två fiskar. Men vad förslår det till så många?" 10 Jesus sade: "Låt folket slå sig ner" - det var gott om gräs på det stället - och de slog sig ner. Det var omkring fem tusen män. 11 Jesus tog bröden, tackade Gud[a] och delade ut till dem som var där, likaså av fiskarna, så mycket de ville ha. 12 När de var mätta sade han till sina lärjungar: "Samla ihop de stycken som har blivit över, så att inget blir förstört." 13 De samlade ihop dem och fyllde tolv korgar med de stycken som hade blivit över av de fem kornbröden när de ätit.
14 När folket såg vilket tecken han hade gjort, sade de: "Visst är detta Profeten, som skulle komma till världen." 15 Då Jesus förstod att de tänkte komma för att med våld göra honom till kung, drog han sig undan upp till berget, helt ensam.
Jesus går på vattnet
16 När det hade blivit kväll, gick hans lärjungar ner till sjön 17 och steg i en båt för att fara över till Kapernaum på andra sidan sjön. Det var redan mörkt, och Jesus hade ännu inte kommit till dem. 18 Det blåste hårt och sjön började gå hög. 19 När de hade kommit ungefär tjugofem eller trettio stadier ut, fick de se Jesus komma gående på sjön och närma sig båten, och de blev förskräckta. 20 Men han sade till dem: "Det är jag. Var inte förskräckta!" 21 De skulle just ta upp honom i båten, men då var den redan framme vid den plats dit de var på väg.
Jesus är livets bröd
22 Nästa dag stod folket på andra sidan sjön. De hade sett att det bara hade funnits en båt där och att Jesus inte hade stigit i den och följt med sina lärjungar, utan att de hade gett sig i väg ensamma. 23 Andra båtar kom från Tiberias och lade till nära platsen där de hade ätit brödet, sedan Herren hade uttalat tacksägelsen. 24 När folket såg att Jesus inte var där och inte heller hans lärjungar, steg de i båtarna och kom till Kapernaum och sökte efter Jesus. 25 De fann honom på andra sidan sjön och frågade honom: "Rabbi, när kom du hit?" 26 Jesus svarade dem: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Ni söker mig inte därför att ni har sett tecken, utan därför att ni fick äta av bröden och blev mätta.
27 Arbeta inte för den mat som tar slut utan för den mat som varar och ger evigt liv och som Människosonen skall ge er. På honom har Gud, hans Fader, satt sitt sigill." 28 De frågade honom: "Vad skall vi göra för att utföra Guds gärningar?" 29 Jesus svarade: "Detta är Guds gärning, att ni tror på den som han har sänt." 30 De sade till honom: "Vad gör du för tecken, så att vi kan se det och tro på dig? Vad kan du göra? 31 Våra fäder fick äta manna i öknen, så som det står skrivet: Han gav dem bröd från himlen att äta." [b] 32 Då sade Jesus till dem: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Det är inte Mose som har gett er brödet från himlen, utan det är min Fader som ger er det sanna brödet från himlen. 33 Guds bröd är det bröd som kommer ner från himlen och ger världen liv." 34 De sade till honom: "Herre, ge oss alltid det brödet!" 35 Jesus svarade: "Jag är livets bröd. Den som kommer till mig skall aldrig hungra, och den som tror på mig skall aldrig någonsin törsta. 36 Men jag har sagt er: Ni har sett mig och tror inte. 37 Alla som Fadern ger mig kommer till mig, och den som kommer till mig skall jag aldrig någonsin kasta ut. 38 Ty jag har inte kommit ner från himlen för att göra min vilja utan hans vilja som har sänt mig. 39 Och detta är hans vilja som har sänt mig att jag inte skall förlora någon enda av alla dem som han har gett mig, utan att jag skall låta dem uppstå på den yttersta dagen. 40 Ty detta är min Faders vilja, att var och en som ser Sonen och tror på honom skall ha evigt liv, och jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen."
41 Judarna var mycket förargade över att han hade sagt: "Jag är det bröd som har kommit ner från himlen." 42 De sade: "Den här Jesus, är han inte Josefs son, och känner inte vi hans far och mor? Hur kan han då säga: Jag har kommit ner från himlen?" 43 Jesus svarade: "Var inte så upprörda. 44 Ingen kan komma till mig, om inte Fadern som har sänt mig drar honom, och jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen. 45 Det står skrivet hos profeterna: De skall alla ha blivit undervisade av Gud.[c] Var och en som har lyssnat till Fadern och lärt av honom kommer till mig. 46 Inte så att någon skulle ha sett Fadern utom han som är från Gud. Han har sett Fadern. 47 Amen, amen säger jag er: Den som tror har evigt liv. 48 Jag är livets bröd. 49 Era fäder åt manna i öknen, och de dog. 50 Men det bröd som kommer ner från himlen är sådant att den som äter av det inte skall dö. 51 Jag är det bröd som ger liv, det bröd som har kommit ner från himlen. Den som äter av det brödet skall leva i evighet. Och brödet jag ger är mitt kött, för att världen skall leva."
52 Judarna började då tvista med varandra och säga: "Hur kan han ge oss sitt kött att äta?" 53 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Om ni inte äter Människosonens kött och dricker hans blod, har ni inte liv i er. 54 Den som äter mitt kött och dricker mitt blod har evigt liv, och jag skall låta honom uppstå på den yttersta dagen. 55 Ty mitt kött är verklig mat och mitt blod är verklig dryck. 56 Den som äter mitt kött och dricker mitt blod förblir i mig och jag i honom. 57 Liksom den levande Fadern har sänt mig, och jag lever därför att Fadern lever, så skall också den som äter mig leva därför att jag lever. 58 Detta är det bröd som har kommit ner från himlen. Det är inte som det bröd fäderna åt och sedan dog. Den som äter detta bröd skall leva i evighet." 59 Detta sade han när han undervisade i synagogan i Kapernaum.
60 Många av hans lärjungar som hörde det sade: "Det här är ett hårt tal. Vem står ut med att höra det?" 61 Jesus förstod att hans lärjungar var upprörda över detta, och han sade till dem: "Tar ni anstöt av det här? 62 Vad skall ni då säga, när ni får se Människosonen stiga upp dit där han redan var? 63 Det är Anden som ger liv, köttet är inte till någon nytta. De ord som jag har talat till er är Ande och liv. 64 Men det är några bland er som inte tror." - Jesus visste från början, vilka som inte trodde och vem det var som skulle förråda honom. - 65 Han sade vidare: "Därför har jag sagt er att ingen kan komma till mig om det inte blir honom givet av Fadern."
66 Efter detta drog sig många av hans lärjungar tillbaka, så att de inte längre följde honom. 67 Jesus sade därför till de tolv: "Inte vill väl också ni gå bort?" 68 Simon Petrus svarade honom: "Herre, till vem skulle vi gå? Du har det eviga livets ord, 69 och vi tror och förstår att du är Guds Helige." 70 Jesus svarade dem: "Har jag inte själv valt ut er tolv? Och en av er är en djävul!" 71 Han menade Judas, Simon Iskariots son. Det var han som skulle förråda honom, och han var en av de tolv.

English Standard Version
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
6 After this (A)Jesus went away to the other side of (B)the Sea of Galilee, which is (C)the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on (D)the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now (E)the Passover, the (F)feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 (G)Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to (H)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 (I)Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii[a] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, (J)Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five (K)barley loaves and two fish, but (L)what are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (M)Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and (N)when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, (O)“This is indeed (P)the Prophet (Q)who is to come into the world!”
15 (R)Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus (S)withdrew again to (T)the mountain by himself.
Jesus Walks on Water
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 (U)But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
I Am the Bread of Life
22 On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only (V)one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord (W)had given thanks. 24 (X)So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and (Y)went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, (Z)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AA)you are seeking me, not because you saw (AB)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 (AC)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for (AD)the food that endures to eternal life, which (AE)the Son of Man will give to you. For on (AF)him God the Father has (AG)set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing (AH)the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, (AI)that you believe in him whom (AJ)he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, (AK)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 (AL)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, (AM)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is (AN)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, (AO)“Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, (AP)“I am the bread of life; (AQ)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 (AR)All that (AS)the Father gives me will come to me, and (AT)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For (AU)I have come down from heaven, not to do (AV)my own will but (AW)the will of him (AX)who sent me. 39 And (AY)this is the will of him who sent me, (AZ)that I should lose nothing of (BA)all that he has given me, but (BB)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who (BC)looks on the Son and (BD)believes in him (BE)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, (BF)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, (BG)“Is not this Jesus, (BH)the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (BI)we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me (BJ)draws him. And (BK)I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, (BL)‘And they will all be (BM)taught by God.’ (BN)Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 (BO)not that anyone has seen the Father except (BP)he who is from God; he (BQ)has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, (BR)whoever believes has eternal life. 48 (BS)I am the bread of life. 49 (BT)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and (BU)they died. 50 (BV)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it (BW)and not die. 51 I am the living bread (BX)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give (BY)for the life of the world is (BZ)my flesh.”
52 The Jews then (CA)disputed among themselves, saying, (CB)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (CC)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you (CD)have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (CE)has eternal life, and (CF)I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (CG)abides in me, and I in him. 57 As (CH)the living Father (CI)sent me, and (CJ)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 (CK)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[c] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[d] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (CL)at Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 (CM)When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, (CN)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 (CO)the Son of Man (CP)ascending to (CQ)where he was before? 63 (CR)It is the Spirit who gives life; (CS)the flesh is no help at all. (CT)The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But (CU)there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus (CV)knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and (CW)who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you (CX)that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
66 (CY)After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to (CZ)the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have (DA)the words of eternal life, 69 and (DB)we have believed, and have come to know, that (DC)you are (DD)the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, (DE)“Did I not choose you, (DF)the twelve? And yet one of you is (DG)a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas (DH)the son of Simon Iscariot, for (DI)he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
John 6
New International Version
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(A)
6 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs(B) he had performed by healing the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside(C) and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Festival(D) was near.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,(E) “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,(F) spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”(G)
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks,(H) and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14 After the people saw the sign(I) Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”(J) 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king(K) by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.(L)
Jesus Walks on the Water(M)
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water;(N) and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”(O) 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake(P) realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.(Q) 23 Then some boats from Tiberias(R) landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.(S) 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,(T) when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,(U) not because you saw the signs(V) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures(W) to eternal life,(X) which the Son of Man(Y) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal(Z) of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe(AA) in the one he has sent.”(AB)
30 So they asked him, “What sign(AC) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?(AD) What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna(AE) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”(AF)
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven(AG) and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(AH)
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(AI) the bread of life.(AJ) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(AK) in me will never be thirsty.(AL) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(AM) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(AN) not to do my will but to do the will(AO) of him who sent me.(AP) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(AQ) but raise them up at the last day.(AR) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(AS) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(AT) and I will raise them up at the last day.”
41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,(AU) whose father and mother we know?(AV) How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”(AW)
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,(AX) and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[d](AY) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God;(AZ) only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.(BA) 48 I am the bread of life.(BB) 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.(BC) 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,(BD) which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread(BE) that came down from heaven.(BF) Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”(BG)
52 Then the Jews(BH) began to argue sharply among themselves,(BI) “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(BJ) of the Son of Man(BK) and drink his blood,(BL) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(BM) 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.(BN) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(BO) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 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.”(BP) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(BQ) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(BR)
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(BS) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(BT) ascend to where he was before!(BU) 63 The Spirit gives life;(BV) the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[e] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known(BW) from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.(BX) 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.”(BY)
66 From this time many of his disciples(BZ) turned back and no longer followed him.
67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.(CA)
68 Simon Peter answered him,(CB) “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.(CC) 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”(CD)
70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you,(CE) the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”(CF) 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,(CG) who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)(CH)
