John 6:60-71 - Many Disciples Desert Jesus

60 Then many of his disciples, having heard, said, This is a hard word; who can hear it

61 And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmur for this, said to them, Does this offend you? 62 If then ye see the Son of man going up where he was before 63 It is the spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing: the words which I speak to you are spirit, and are life. 64 But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are not believing, and who he is going to deliver him up. 65 And he said, Therefore have I said to you, that no one can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

66 From this many of his disciples went away back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, And ye will not go away?

68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed, and known, that thou art Christ, Son of the living God.

70 Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and of you one is a devil? 71 And he spake of Judas Iscariot, of Simon: for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
