John 6:59-65 - Many Of Jesus' Disciples Offended By His Teaching

⁵⁹ Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"

⁶¹ But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them, ⁶² "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before? ⁶³ It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him. ⁶⁵ So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
