PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Μετά ταύτα ανεχώρησεν ο Ιησούς πέραν της θαλάσσης της Γαλιλαίας της Τιβεριάδος·
1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
1 Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Γαλιλαίας τῆς Τιβεριάδος·
2 και ηκολούθει αυτόν όχλος πολύς, διότι έβλεπον τα θαύματα αυτού, τα οποία έκαμνεν επί των ασθενούντων.
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
2 καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς, ὅτι ἑώρων αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει ἐπὶ τῶν ἀσθενούντων.
3 Ανέβη δε εις το όρος ο Ιησούς και εκεί εκάθητο μετά των μαθητών αυτού.
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
3 ἀνῆλθε δὲ εἰς τὸ ὄρος ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ.
4 Επλησίαζε δε το πάσχα, η εορτή των Ιουδαίων.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
4 ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα, ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
5 Υψώσας λοιπόν ο Ιησούς τους οφθαλμούς και ιδών ότι πολύς όχλος έρχεται προς αυτόν, λέγει προς τον Φίλιππον· Πόθεν θέλομεν αγοράσει άρτους, διά να φάγωσιν ούτοι;
5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”
5 ἐπάρας οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ θεασάμενος ὅτι πολὺς ὄχλος ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτόν, λέγει πρὸς τὸν Φίλιππον· πόθεν ἀγοράσωμεν ἄρτους ἵνα φάγωσιν οὗτοι;
6 Έλεγε δε τούτο δοκιμάζων αυτόν· διότι αυτός ήξευρε τι έμελλε να κάμη.
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
6 τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγε πειράζων αὐτόν· αὐτὸς γὰρ ᾔδει τί ἔμελλε ποιεῖν.
7 Απεκρίθη προς αυτόν ο Φίλιππος· Διακοσίων δηναρίων άρτοι δεν αρκούσιν εις αυτούς, διά να λάβη ολίγον τι έκαστος αυτών.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
7 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Φίλιππος· διακοσίων δηναρίων ἄρτοι οὐκ ἀρκοῦσιν αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἕκαστος αὐτῶν βραχύ τι λάβῃ.
8 Λέγει προς αυτόν εις εκ των μαθητών αυτού, Ανδρέας ο αδελφός Σίμωνος Πέτρου·
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
8 λέγει αὐτῷ εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου·
9 Εδώ είναι εν παιδάριον, το οποίον έχει πέντε άρτους κριθίνους και δύο οψάρια· αλλά ταύτα τι είναι εις τοσούτους;
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
9 ἔστι παιδάριον ἓν ὧδε, ὃς ἔχει πέντε ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ δύο ὀψάρια· ἀλλὰ ταῦτα τί ἐστιν εἰς τοσούτους;
10 Είπε δε ο Ιησούς· Κάμετε τους ανθρώπους να καθήσωσιν· ήτο δε χόρτος πολύς εν τω τόπω. Εκάθησαν λοιπόν οι άνδρες τον αριθμόν έως πεντακισχίλιοι.
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
10 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ποιήσατε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἀναπεσεῖν· ἦν δὲ χόρτος πολὺς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ. ἀνέπεσον οὖν οἱ ἄνδρες τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι.
11 Και έλαβεν ο Ιησούς τους άρτους και ευχαριστήσας διεμοίρασεν εις τους μαθητάς, οι δε μαθηταί εις τους καθημένους· ομοίως και εκ των οψαρίων όσον ήθελον.
11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
11 ἔλαβε δὲ τοὺς ἄρτους ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εὐχαριστήσας διέδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ἀνακειμένοις· ὁμοίως καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὅσον ἤθελον.
12 Αφού δε εχορτάσθησαν, λέγει προς τους μαθητάς αυτούς· Συνάξατε τα περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα, διά να μη χαθή τίποτε.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
12 ὡς δὲ ἐνεπλήσθησαν, λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· συναγάγετε τὰ περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα, ἵνα μή τι ἀπόληται.
13 Εσύναξαν λοιπόν και εγέμισαν δώδεκα κοφίνους κλασμάτων εκ των πέντε άρτων των κριθίνων, τα οποία επερίσσευσαν εις τους φαγόντας.
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
13 συνήγαγον οὖν καὶ ἐγέμισαν δώδεκα κοφίνους κλασμάτων ἐκ τῶν πέντε ἄρτων τῶν κριθίνων ἃ ἐπερίσσευσε τοῖς βεβρωκόσιν.
14 Οι άνθρωποι λοιπόν, ιδόντες το θαύμα, το οποίον έκαμεν ο Ιησούς, έλεγον ότι Ούτος είναι αληθώς ο προφήτης ο μέλλων να έλθη εις τον κόσμον.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
14 Οἱ οὖν ἄνθρωποι, ἰδόντες ὃ ἐποίησε σημεῖον ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγον ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐρχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
15 Ο Ιησούς λοιπόν γνωρίσας ότι μέλλουσι να έλθωσι και να αρπάσωσιν αυτόν, διά να κάμωσιν αυτόν βασιλέα, ανεχώρησε πάλιν εις το όρος αυτός μόνος.
15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
15 Ἰησοῦς οὖν γνοὺς ὅτι μέλλουσιν ἔρχεσθαι καὶ ἁρπάζειν αὐτὸν ἵνα ποιήσωσιν αὐτὸν βασιλέα, ἀνεχώρησε πάλιν εἰς τὸ ὄρος αὐτὸς μόνος.
16 Καθώς δε έγεινεν εσπέρα, κατέβησαν οι μαθηταί αυτού εις την θάλασσαν,
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
16 Ὡς δὲ ὀψία ἐγένετο, κατέβησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν,
17 και εμβάντες εις το πλοίον, ήρχοντο πέραν της θαλάσσης εις Καπερναούμ. Και είχεν ήδη γείνει σκότος και ο Ιησούς δεν είχεν ελθεί προς αυτούς,
17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
17 καὶ ἐμβάντες εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἤρχοντο πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς Καπερναούμ. καὶ σκοτία ἤδη ἐγεγόνει καὶ οὐκ ἐληλύθει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς,
18 και η θάλασσα υψόνετο, επειδή έπνεε δυνατός άνεμος.
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
18 ἥ τε θάλασσα ἀνέμου μεγάλου πνέοντος διηγείρετο.
19 Αφού λοιπόν εκωπηλάτησαν ως εικοσιπέντε ή τριάκοντα στάδια βλέπουσι τον Ιησούν περιπατούντα επί της θαλάσσης και πλησιάζοντα εις το πλοίον, και εφοβήθησαν.
19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
19 ἐληλακότες οὖν ὡς σταδίους εἴκοσι πέντε ἢ τριάκοντα θεωροῦσι τὸν Ἰησοῦν περιπατοῦντα ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐγγὺς τοῦ πλοίου γινόμενον, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
20 Εκείνος δε λέγει προς αυτούς· Εγώ είμαι· μη φοβείσθε.
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
20 ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
21 Ήθελον λοιπόν να λάβωσιν αυτόν εις το πλοίον, και παρευθύς το πλοίον έφθασεν εις την γην, εις την οποίαν υπήγαινον.
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
21 ἤθελον οὖν λαβεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ εὐθέως τὸ πλοῖον ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν ὑπῆγον.
22 Τη επαύριον ο όχλος ο ιστάμενος πέραν της θαλάσσης ότε είδεν ότι πλοιάριον άλλο δεν ήτο εκεί ειμή εν, εκείνο εις το οποίον εισήλθον οι μαθηταί αυτού, και ότι ο Ιησούς δεν εισήλθε μετά των μαθητών αυτού εις το πλοιάριον, αλλά μόνοι οι μαθηταί αυτού ανεχώρησαν·
22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
22 Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ἑστηκὼς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης ἰδὼν ὅτι πλοιάριον ἄλλο οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖ εἰ μὴ ἓν ἐκεῖνο εἰς ὃ ἐνέβησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι οὐ συνεισῆλθε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ πλοιάριον, ἀλλὰ μόνοι οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθον·
23 ήλθον δε άλλα πλοιάρια εκ της Τιβεριάδος πλησίον του τόπου, όπου έφαγον τον άρτον, αφού ο Κύριος ευχαρίστησεν·
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
23 ἄλλα δὲ ἦλθε πλοιάρια ἐκ Τιβεριάδος ἐγγὺς τοῦ τόπου, ὅπου ἔφαγον τὸν ἄρτον εὐχαριστήσαντος τοῦ Κυρίου·
24 ότε λοιπόν είδεν ο όχλος ότι ο Ιησούς δεν είναι εκεί, ουδέ οι μαθηταί αυτού, εισήλθον και αυτοί εις τα πλοία και ήλθον εις Καπερναούμ ζητούντες τον Ιησούν.
24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
24 ὅτε οὖν εἶδεν ὁ ὄχλος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ οὐδὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, ἐνέβησαν αὐτοὶ εἰς τὰ πλοῖα καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Καπερναοὺμ ζητοῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
25 Και ευρόντες αυτόν πέραν της θαλάσσης, είπον προς αυτόν· Ραββί, πότε ήλθες εδώ;
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
25 καὶ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἶπον αὐτῷ· ῥαββί, πότε ὧδε γέγονας;
26 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς και είπεν· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, με ζητείτε, ουχί διότι είδετε θαύματα, αλλά διότι εφάγετε εκ των άρτων και εχορτάσθητε.
26 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
26 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητεῖτέ με, οὐχ ὅτι εἴδετε σημεῖα, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἐφάγετε ἐκ τῶν ἄρτων καὶ ἐχορτάσθητε.
27 Εργάζεσθε μη διά την τροφήν την φθειρομένην, αλλά διά την τροφήν την μένουσαν εις ζωήν αιώνιον, την οποίαν ο Υιός του ανθρώπου θέλει σας δώσει· διότι τούτον εσφράγισεν ο Πατήρ ο Θεός.
27 Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
27 ἐργάζεσθε μὴ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν ἀπολλυμένην, ἀλλὰ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἣν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει· τοῦτον γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἐσφράγισεν ὁ Θεός.
28 Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Τι να κάμωμεν, διά να εργαζώμεθα τα έργα του Θεού;
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
28 εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτόν· τί ποιῶμεν ἵνα ἐργαζώμεθα τά ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ;
29 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτούς· Τούτο είναι το έργον του Θεού, να πιστεύσητε εις τούτον, τον οποίον εκείνος απέστειλε.
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
29 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ἔργον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἵνα πιστεύσητε εἰς ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος.
30 Τότε είπον προς αυτόν· Τι σημείον λοιπόν κάμνεις συ, διά να ίδωμεν και πιστεύσωμεν εις σε; τι εργάζεσαι;
30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
30 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· τί οὖν ποιεῖς σὺ σημεῖον ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμέν σοι; τί ἐργάζῃ;
31 οι πατέρες ημών έφαγον το μάννα εν τη ερήμω, καθώς είναι γεγραμμένον· Άρτον εκ του ουρανού έδωκεν εις αυτούς να φάγωσιν.
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
31 οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τὸ μάννα ἔφαγον ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καθώς ἐστι γεγραμμένον· ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς φαγεῖν.
32 Είπε λοιπόν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, δεν έδωκεν εις εσάς τον άρτον εκ του ουρανού ο Μωϋσής, αλλ' ο Πατήρ μου σας δίδει τον άρτον εκ του ουρανού τον αληθινόν.
32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
32 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πατήρ μου δίδωσιν ὑμῖν τὸν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸν ἀληθινόν.
33 Διότι ο άρτος του Θεού είναι ο καταβαίνων εκ του ουρανού και δίδων ζωήν εις τον κόσμον.
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
33 ὁ γὰρ ἄρτος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ὁ καταβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ζωὴν διδοὺς τῷ κόσμῳ.
34 Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Κύριε, πάντοτε δος εις ημάς τον άρτον τούτον.
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
34 εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτόν· Κύριε, πάντοτε δὸς ἡμῖν τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον.
35 Και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Εγώ είμαι ο άρτος της ζωής· όστις έρχεται προς εμέ, δεν θέλει πεινάσει, και όστις πιστεύει εις εμέ, δεν θέλει διψήσει πώποτε.
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
35 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς· ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρός με οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ, καὶ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ διψήσῃ πώποτε.
36 Πλην σας είπον ότι και με είδετε και δεν πιστεύετε.
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
36 ἀλλ᾽ εἶπον ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ ἑωράκατέ με καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε.
37 Παν ό,τι μοι δίδει ο Πατήρ, προς εμέ θέλει ελθεί, και τον ερχόμενον προς εμέ δεν θέλω εκβάλει έξω·
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
37 Πᾶν ὃ δίδωσί μοι ὁ πατήρ, πρὸς ἐμὲ ἥξει, καὶ τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρός με οὐ μὴ ἐκβάλω ἔξω·
38 διότι κατέβην εκ του ουρανού, ουχί διά να κάμω το θέλημα το εμόν, αλλά το θέλημα του πέμψαντός με.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
38 ὅτι καταβέβηκα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐχ ἵνα ποιῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με.
39 Τούτο δε είναι το θέλημα του πέμψαντός με Πατρός, παν ό,τι μοι έδωκε να μη απολέσω ουδέν εξ αυτού, αλλά να αναστήσω αυτό εν τη εσχάτη ημέρα.
39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
39 τοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με πατρός, ἵνα πᾶν ὃ δέδωκέ μοι μὴ ἀπολέσω ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
40 Και τούτο είναι το θέλημα του πέμψαντός με, πας όστις βλέπει τον Υιόν και πιστεύει εις αυτόν να έχη ζωήν αιώνιον, και εγώ θέλω αναστήσει αυτόν εν τη εσχάτη ημέρα.
40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
40 τοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ θεωρῶν τὸν υἱὸν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐγὼ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
41 Εγόγγυζον λοιπόν οι Ιουδαίοι περί αυτού ότι είπεν, Εγώ είμαι ο άρτος ο καταβάς εκ του ουρανού,
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
41 Ἐγόγγυζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ καταβὰς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
42 και έλεγον· δεν είναι ούτος Ιησούς ο υιός του Ιωσήφ, του οποίου ημείς γνωρίζομεν τον πατέρα και την μητέρα; πως λοιπόν λέγει ούτος ότι εκ του ουρανού κατέβην;
42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”
42 καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ, οὗ ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα; πῶς οὖν λέγει οὗτος ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβέβηκα;
43 Απεκρίθη λοιπόν ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτούς· Μη γογγύζετε μεταξύ σας.
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
43 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· μὴ γογγύζετε μετ᾽ ἀλλήλων.
44 Ουδείς δύναται να έλθη προς εμέ, εάν δεν ελκύση αυτόν ο Πατήρ ο πέμψας με, και εγώ θέλω αναστήσει αυτόν εν τη εσχάτη ημέρα.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
44 οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐλθεῖν πρός με, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ πατὴρ ὁ πέμψας με ἑλκύσῃ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
45 Είναι γεγραμμένον εν τοις προφήταις· Και πάντες θέλουσιν είσθαι διδακτοί του Θεού. Πας λοιπόν, όστις ακούση παρά του Πατρός και μάθη, έρχεται προς εμέ·
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.
45 ἔστι γεγραμμένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις· καὶ ἔσονται πάντες διδακτοὶ Θεοῦ. πᾶς ὁ ἀκούων παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ μαθὼν ἔρχεται πρός με·
46 ουχί ότι είδε τις τον Πατέρα, ειμή εκείνος όστις είναι παρά του Θεού, ούτος είδε τον Πατέρα.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
46 οὐχ ὅτι τὸν πατέρα τις ἑώρακεν, εἰ μὴ ὁ ὢν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, οὗτος ἑώρακε τὸν πατέρα.
47 Αληθώς αληθώς, σας λέγω, Ο πιστεύων εις εμέ έχει ζωήν αιώνιον.
47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
47 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
49 Οι πατέρες σας έφαγον το μάννα εν τη ερήμω και απέθανον·
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
49 οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἔφαγον τὸ μάννα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀπέθανον·
50 ούτος είναι ο άρτος ο καταβαίνων εκ του ουρανού, διά να φάγη τις εξ αυτού και να μη αποθάνη.
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
50 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων, ἵνα τις ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ.
51 Εγώ είμαι ο άρτος ο ζων, ο καταβάς εκ του ουρανού. Εάν τις φάγη εκ τούτου του άρτου, θέλει ζήσει εις τον αιώνα. Και ο άρτος δε τον οποίον εγώ θέλω δώσει, είναι η σαρξ μου την οποίαν εγώ θέλω δώσει υπέρ της ζωής του κόσμου.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
51 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ζῶν ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς· ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου, ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ὁ ἄρτος δὲ ὃν ἐγὼ δώσω, ἡ σάρξ μού ἐστιν, ἣν ἐγὼ δώσω ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς.
52 Εμάχοντο λοιπόν προς αλλήλους Ιουδαίοι, λέγοντες· Πως δύναται ούτος να δώση εις ημάς να φάγωμεν την σάρκα αυτού;
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
52 Ἐμάχοντο οὖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες· πῶς δύναται οὗτος ἡμῖν δοῦναι τὴν σάρκα φαγεῖν;
53 Είπε λοιπόν εις αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, Εάν δεν φάγητε την σάρκα του υιού του ανθρώπου και πίητε το αίμα αυτού, δεν έχετε ζωήν εν εαυτοίς.
53 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.
53 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα, οὐκ ἔχετε ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
54 Όστις τρώγει την σάρκα μου και πίνει το αίμα μου, έχει ζωήν αιώνιον, και εγώ θέλω αναστήσει αυτόν εν τη εσχάτη ημέρα.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
54 ὁ τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
55 Διότι η σαρξ μου αληθώς είναι τροφή, και το αίμα μου αληθώς είναι πόσις.
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
55 ἡ γὰρ σάρξ μου ἀληθῶς ἐστι βρῶσις, καὶ τὸ αἷμά μου ἀληθῶς ἐστι πόσις.
56 Όστις τρώγει την σάρκα μου και πίνει το αίμα μου εν εμοί μένει, και εγώ εν αυτώ.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
56 ὁ τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα ἐν ἐμοὶ μένει, κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ.
57 Καθώς με απέστειλεν ο ζων Πατήρ και εγώ ζω διά τον Πατέρα, ούτω και όστις με τρώγει θέλει ζήσει και εκείνος δι' εμέ.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.
57 καθὼς ἀπέστειλέ με ὁ ζῶν πατὴρ κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν πατέρα, καὶ ὁ τρώγων με κἀκεῖνος ζήσεται δι᾽ ἐμέ.
58 Ούτος είναι ο άρτος ο καταβάς εκ του ουρανού, ουχί καθώς οι πατέρες σας έφαγον το μάννα και απέθανον· όστις τρώγει τούτον τον άρτον θέλει ζήσει εις τον αιώνα.
58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
58 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, οὐ καθὼς ἔφαγον οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν τὸ μάννα καὶ ἀπέθανον· ὁ τρώγων τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
59 Ταύτα είπεν εν τη συναγωγή, διδάσκων εν Καπερναούμ.
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
59 Ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν συναγωγῇ διδάσκων ἐν Καπερναούμ.
60 Πολλοί λοιπόν εκ των μαθητών αυτού ακούσαντες, είπον· Σκληρός είναι ούτος ο λόγος· τις δύναται να ακούη αυτόν;
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
60 Πολλοὶ οὖν ἀκούσαντες ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπον· σκληρός ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ λόγος· τίς δύναται αὐτοῦ ἀκούειν;
61 Νοήσας δε ο Ιησούς εν εαυτώ ότι γογγύζουσι περί τούτου οι μαθηταί αυτού, είπε προς αυτούς· Τούτο σας σκανδαλίζει;
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
61 εἰδὼς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι γογγύζουσι περὶ τούτου οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο ὑμᾶς σκανδαλίζει;
62 εάν λοιπόν θεωρήτε τον Υιόν του ανθρώπου αναβαίνοντα όπου ήτο το πρότερον;
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
62 ἐὰν οὖν θεωρῆτε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τὸ πρότερον;
63 το πνεύμα είναι εκείνο το οποίον ζωοποιεί, η σαρξ δεν ωφελεί ουδέν· οι λόγοι, τους οποίους εγώ λαλώ προς εσάς, πνεύμα είναι και ζωή είναι.
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
63 τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστι τὸ ζωοποιοῦν, ἡ σὰρξ οὐκ ὠφελεῖ οὐδέν· τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἐγὼ λαλῶ ὑμῖν, πνεῦμά ἐστι καὶ ζωή ἐστιν.
64 Πλην είναι τινές από σας, οίτινες δεν πιστεύουσι. Διότι ήξευρεν εξ αρχής ο Ιησούς, τίνες είναι οι μη πιστεύοντες και τις είναι ο μέλλων να παραδώση αυτόν.
64 But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.
64 ἀλλ᾽ εἰσὶν ἐξ ὑμῶν τινες οἳ οὐ πιστεύουσιν. ᾔδει γὰρ ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὁ Ἰησοῦς τίνες εἰσὶν οἱ μὴ πιστεύοντες καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ παραδώσων αὐτόν.
65 Και έλεγε· Διά τούτο σας είπον ότι ουδείς δύναται να έλθη προς εμέ, εάν δεν είναι δεδομένον εις αυτόν εκ του Πατρός μου.
65 He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
65 καὶ ἔλεγε· διὰ τοῦτο εἴρηκα ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐλθεῖν πρός με, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ δεδομένον αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου.
66 Έκτοτε πολλοί των μαθητών αυτού εστράφησαν εις τα οπίσω και δεν περιεπάτουν πλέον μετ' αυτού.
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
66 Ἐκ τούτου πολλοὶ ἀπῆλθον [ἐκ] τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ οὐκέτι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ περιεπάτουν.
67 Είπε λοιπόν ο Ιησούς προς τους δώδεκα· Μήπως και σεις θέλετε να υπάγητε;
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
67 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς δώδεκα· μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε ὑπάγειν;
68 Απεκρίθη λοιπόν προς αυτόν ο Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, προς τίνα θέλομεν υπάγει; λόγους ζωής αιωνίου έχεις·
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
68 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, πρὸς τίνα ἀπελευσόμεθα; ῥήματα ζωῆς αἰωνίου ἔχεις·
69 και ημείς επιστεύσαμεν και εγνωρίσαμεν ότι συ είσαι ο Χριστός ο Υιός του Θεού του ζώντος.
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
69 καὶ ἡμεῖς πεπιστεύκαμεν καὶ ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος.
70 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Δεν εξέλεξα εγώ εσάς τους δώδεκα και εις από σας είναι διάβολος;
70 Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
70 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐκ ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς τοὺς δώδεκα ἐξελεξάμην; καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν εἷς διάβολός ἐστιν.
71 Έλεγε δε τον Ιούδαν του Σίμωνος τον Ισκαριώτην· διότι ούτος, εις ων εκ των δώδεκα, έμελλε να παραδώση αυτόν.
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
71 ἔλεγε δὲ τὸν Ἰούδαν Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτην· οὗτος γὰρ ἔμελλεν αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι, εἷς ὢν ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
It was a great miracle that was wrought, dearly beloved, for five thousand men to be filled with five loaves and two fishes, and the remnants of the fragments to fill twelve baskets. A great miracle: but we shall not wonder much at what was done, if we give heed to Him That did it.

The miracles performed by our Lord Jesus Christ are indeed divine works, and incite the human mind to rise to the apprehension of God from the things that are seen.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
Beloved, let us not contend with violent men, but learn when the doing so brings no hurt to our virtue to give place to their evil counsels; for so all their hardihood is checked.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 14 (1889)
Again, withdrawing from thence to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, He there seeing a great crowd had followed Him, fed all that multitude with five loaves of bread, and twelve baskets of fragments remained over and above.
… speaking mystically of eating His flesh, when those who did not understand Him were offended and went away, saying, "This is an hard saying, who can hear it?" He answered to the rest who remained, "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." The Principle, therefore, having assumed a human soul and flesh, cleanses the soul and flesh …
