After these things Y'shua went to the other side of the sea of Galila or of Tiberias.

And great crowds went after him, because they were seeing the signs he did on the sick.

And Y'shua went up the mountain, and there he was sitting with his disciples.

And the feast of the Passover of the Yehudaye was near.

And Y'shua lifted up his eyes and saw a great crowd coming toward him, and he said to Philipos, From where will we buy bread so that these may eat?

But this he said while testing him, for he knew what he was about to do.

Philipos said to him: Two hundred denarii of bread is not enough for them, when each one of them takes a little.

One of his disciples, Andraeus the brother of Shimon Keefa, said to him:

There is a lad here who has on him five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for all those people?

Y'shua said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place, and the men reclined, in number five thousand.

And Y'shua took the bread and blessed and distributed to those who were reclining, and likewise also from the fish, as much as they wanted.

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.

And they gathered and filled twelve baskets with the fragments that were left over for those who had eaten from the five barley loaves.

But those people who saw the sign that Y'shua did were saying, Truly this is the prophet who is coming into the world.

But Y'shua knew that they were about to come and seize him and make him king, and he withdrew to the mountain by himself alone.

And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,

and sat in the boat and were going across to Kfar-Nachum. And it had grown dark, and Y'shua had not come to them.

And the sea was rising against them, because a great wind was blowing.

And they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, and they saw Y'shua walking on the sea, and when he drew near to their ship, they were afraid.

But Y'shua said to them, I am; do not be afraid.

And they wanted to receive him into the ship, and at that hour the ship was at the land to which they were going.

And the next day, that crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other ship there except the one the disciples had gone up in, and that Y'shua had not gone up with his disciples into the ship.

But other boats had come from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread when Y'shua blessed it.

And when that crowd saw that Y'shua was not there, nor his disciples, they went up into those boats and came to Kfar-Nachum and were seeking Y'shua.

And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they say to him: Our Rabbi, when did you come here?

Y'shua answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the bread and were satisfied.

Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that abides to life forever, which the Son of man will give to you; for this one the Father, Elohim, has sealed.

They say to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of Elohim?

Y'shua answered and said to them: This is the work of Elohim, that you believe in him whom he has sent.

They say to him: What sign do you do, that we may see and believe in you? What do you work?

Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Y'shua said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Moshe did not give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

For the bread of Elohim is he who came down from heaven and gives life to the world.

They say to him, Our Master, give us this bread at all times.

Y'shua said to them, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not hunger, and whoever believes in me will not thirst forever.

But I said to you that you have seen me, and you do not believe.

All that my Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will not cast outside.

For I came down from heaven, not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given me I will lose nothing from it, but will raise it up on the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him will have life forever, and I will raise him up on the last day.

But the Yehudaye were murmuring at him because he said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.

And they were saying, Is this not Y'shua the son of Yosip, whose father and mother we know? And how does this one say, I came down from heaven?

Y'shua answered and said to them, Do not murmur one with another.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

For it is written in the prophet: They will all be taught of Elohim. Everyone therefore who hears from the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from Elohim; he has seen the Father.

Amen, amen, I say to you: Whoever believes in me has life that is forever.

I am the bread of life.

Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and they died.

But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven, and if a person eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give is my body, which I give for the life of the world.

Then the Yehudaye were contending one with another and saying, How can this one give us his body to eat?

And Y'shua said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, that unless you eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

But whoever eats of my body and drinks of my blood has life forever, and I will raise him up on the last day.

For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink.

Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will also live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate the manna and died; whoever eats this bread will live forever.

These things he said in the synagogue while teaching in Kfar-Nachum.

And many of his disciples who heard him said, This word is hard. Who can hear it?

But Y'shua knew in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, and he said to them, Does this stumble you?

If then you see the Son of man ascending to the place where he was from the beginning!

It is the spirit that gives life; the body profits nothing. The words that I have spoken with you are spirit, and they are life.

But there are some of you who do not believe. For Y'shua knew from the beginning who they were that do not believe, and who it is that betrays him.

And he said to them, For this reason I said to you that no one can come to me unless it is given to him from my Father.

Because of this word many of his disciples went back and were not walking with him.

And Y'shua said to his twelve, Do you also want to go away?

Shimon Keefa answered and said, My Master, to whom will we go? You have the words of life forever.

And we have believed and know that you are the Mashiyach, the Son of the living Elohim.

Y'shua said to them, Have I not chosen you twelve? And one of you is Satana.

Now he was speaking of Yehuda bar Shimon Skaryota, for he was about to hand him over, one of the twelve.
