John 6:63

Many Disciples Desert Jesus

⁶² What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before? ⁶³ It's the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I've spoken to you are spirit and life. ⁶⁴ But there are some among you who don't believe..." - because Jesus knew from the beginning those who weren't believing, as well as the one who would betray him.
