Joh 6, Joh 11 | ESV | STEP | After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee , which is the Sea of Tiberias .

1 After this ^aJesus went away to the other side of ^bthe Sea of Galilee, which is ^cthe 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 ^dthe mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now ^ethe Passover, the ^ffeast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 ^gLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to ^hPhilip, “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 ⁱPhilip answered him, “Two hundred denarii ^{▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer} worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, ^kAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five ^lbarley loaves and two fish, but ^mwhat are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” ⁿNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and ^owhen 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, ^p“This is indeed ^qthe Prophet ^rwho is to come into the world!”

15 ^sPerceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus ^twithdrew again to ^uthe 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, ^{▼▼Greek twenty-five or thirty stadia; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters} they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 ^wBut 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 ^xone 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 ^yhad given thanks. 24 ^zSo when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and ^aawent to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^ab“Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^acyou are seeking me, not because you saw ^adsigns, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 ^aeDo not work for the food that perishes, but for ^afthe food that endures to eternal life, which ^agthe Son of Man will give to you. For on ^ahhim God the Father has ^aiset his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^ajthe works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^akthat you believe in him whom ^alhe has sent.” 30 So they said to him, ^am“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 ^anOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^ao‘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 ^aphe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, ^aq“Sir, give us this bread always.”

35 Jesus said to them, ^ar“I am the bread of life; ^aswhoever 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 ^atAll that ^authe Father gives me will come to me, and ^avwhoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For ^awI have come down from heaven, not to do ^axmy own will but ^aythe will of him ^azwho sent me. 39 And ^bathis is the will of him who sent me, ^bbthat I should lose nothing of ^bcall that he has given me, but ^bdraise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^belooks on the Son and ^bfbelieves in him ^bgshould have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, ^bh“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, ^bi“Is not this Jesus, ^bjthe son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^bkwe 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 ^bldraws him. And ^bmI will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ^bn‘And they will all be ^botaught by God.’ ^bpEveryone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 ^bqnot that anyone has seen the Father except ^brhe who is from God; he ^bshas seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^btwhoever believes has eternal life. 48 ^buI am the bread of life. 49 ^bvYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^bwthey died. 50 ^bxThis is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^byand not die. 51 I am the living bread ^bzthat came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^cafor the life of the world is ^cbmy flesh.”

52 The Jews then ^ccdisputed among themselves, saying, ^cd“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 ^cethe Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^cfhave no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^cghas eternal life, and ^chI 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 ^ciabides in me, and I in him. 57 As ^cjthe living Father ^cksent me, and ^clI live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 ^cmThis is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread ^{▼▼Greek lacks the bread} the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus ^{▼▼Greek He} said these things in the synagogue, as he taught ^cpat Capernaum.

The Words of Eternal Life

60 ^cqWhen many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, ^crknowing 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 ^csthe Son of Man ^ctascending to ^cuwhere he was before? 63 ^cvIt is the Spirit who gives life; ^cwthe flesh is no help at all. ^cxThe words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But ^cythere are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus ^czknew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and ^dawho it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you ^dbthat no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

66 ^dcAfter this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to ^ddthe twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^dethe words of eternal life, 69 and ^dfwe have believed, and have come to know, that ^dgyou are ^dhthe Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, ^di“Did I not choose you, ^djthe twelve? And yet one of you is ^dka devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas ^dlthe son of Simon Iscariot, for ^dmhe, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

John 11

The Death of Lazarus

1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of ^dnMary and her sister Martha. 2 ^doIt was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, ^dphe whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, ^dq“This illness does not lead to death. It is for ^drthe glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

5 Now ^dsJesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus ^{▼▼Greek he; also verse 17} was ill, ^duhe stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, ^dv“Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, ^dw“Rabbi, ^dxthe Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, ^dy“Are there not twelve hours in the day? ^dzIf anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But ^eaif anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not ^ebin him.” 11 After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus ^echas fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 ^edSo Thomas, called the Twin, ^{▼▼Greek Didymus} said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, ^efthat we may die with him.”

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb ^egfour days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles ^{▼▼Greek fifteen stadia; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters} off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary ^eito console them concerning their brother. 20 ^ejSo when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to ^ekJesus, “Lord, ^elif you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, ^emGod will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 ^enMartha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in ^eothe resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, ^ep“I am the resurrection and ^eqthe life. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit and the life} Whoever believes in me, ^esthough he die, ^etyet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me ^eushall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; ^evI believe that ^ewyou are the Christ, the Son of God, ^exwho is coming into the world.”

Jesus Weeps

28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, ^ey“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews ^ezwho were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, ^fa“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he ^fbwas deeply moved ^{▼▼Or was indignant; also verse 38} in his spirit and ^fdgreatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 ^feJesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See ^ffhow he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he ^fgwho opened the eyes of the blind man ^fhalso have kept this man from dying?”

Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 Then Jesus, ^fideeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was ^fja cave, and ^fka stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for ^flhe has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, ^fm“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see ^fnthe glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus ^folifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 ^fpI knew that you always hear me, but I said this ^fqon account of the people standing around, ^frthat they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 ^fsThe man who had died came out, ^fthis hands and feet bound with linen strips, and ^fuhis face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus

45 ^fvMany of the Jews therefore, ^fwwho had come with Mary and ^fxhad seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees ^fygathered ^fzthe council and said, ^ga“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and ^gbthe Romans will come and take away both our ^gcplace and our nation.” 49 But one of them, ^gdCaiaphas, ^gewho was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that ^gfit is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but ^ggbeing high priest that year ^ghhe prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and ^ginot for the nation only, but also ^gjto gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they ^gkmade plans to put him to death.

54 Jesus therefore ^glno longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.

55 Now ^gmthe Passover of the Jews was at hand, and ^gnmany went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover ^goto purify themselves. 56 ^gpThey were looking for ^{▼▼Greek were seeking for} Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?” 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
