¹ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܕܛܒܪܝܘܤ ܀

¹After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

²ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܟܪܝܗܐ ܀

²A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

³ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

³Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

⁴ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

⁴Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

⁵ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܢܙܒܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܀

⁵Jesus 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?”

⁶ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܐ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܀

⁶This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܤܦܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܩܠܝܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܤܒ ܀

⁷Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.”

⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܀

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

⁹ܐܝܬ ܬܢܢ ܛܠܝܐ ܚܕ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܚܡܫ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

⁹“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”

¹⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܤܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܀

¹⁰Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ܘܫܩܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܦܠܓ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܨܒܘ ܀

¹¹Jesus 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.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܤܒܥܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܕܝܬܪܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܀

¹²When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”

¹³ܘܟܢܫܘ ܘܡܠܘ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܩܨܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܬܪܘ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܀

¹³So 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.

¹⁴ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܚܙܘ ܐܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܘ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

¹⁴When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”

¹⁵ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܢܚܛܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁵Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

¹⁶ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܢܚܬܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܝܡܐ ܀

¹⁶When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ܘܝܬܒܘ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܘܚܫܟܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹⁷and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ܝܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܩܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܢܫܒܬ ܗܘܬ ܀

¹⁸The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

¹⁹ܘܕܒܪܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܥܤܪܝܢ ܘܚܡܫܐ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܝܡܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܤܦܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ ܀

¹⁹When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, 25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea, see Job 9:8 and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܀

²⁰But he said to them, “It is I or, I AM . Don’t be afraid.”

²¹ܘܨܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܒܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

²¹They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

²²ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܗܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܚܙܘ ܕܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܗܝ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܥܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܀

²²On 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.

²³ܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܛܒܪܝܘܤ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܒܗ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܒܪܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

²³However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

²⁴ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܗܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦܠܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

²⁴When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

²⁶ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܟܠܬܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܤܒܥܬܘܢ ܀

²⁶Jesus 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.

²⁷ܠܐ ܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܐܒܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܡܩܘܝܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܚܬܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

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.”

²⁸ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁸They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

²⁹ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܡܢ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ ܀

²⁹Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

³⁰ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܟ ܡܢܐ ܤܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܀

³⁰They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

³¹ܐܒܗܝܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܀

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven Greek and Hebrew use the same word for “heaven”, “the heavens”, “the sky”, and “the air”. to eat.’” Exodus 16:4; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalm 78:24-25

³²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܝ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

³²Jesus 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.

³³ܠܚܡܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܚܝܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

³³ For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

³⁴ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

³⁴They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

³⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܢܟܦܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܨܗܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܀

³⁵Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

³⁶ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³⁶ But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.

³⁷ܟܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܠܘܬܝ ܢܐܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܦܩܗ ܠܒܪ ܀

³⁷ All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

³⁸ܕܢܚܬܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³⁹ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܐܘܒܕ ܡܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

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.

⁴⁰ܗܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܒܪܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

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.”

⁴¹ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”

⁴²ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܘܤܦ ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܚܬܬ ܀

⁴²They 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?’”

⁴³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܪܛܢܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܀

⁴³Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.

⁴⁴ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܢܓܕܗ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

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.

⁴⁵ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܒܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܝܠܦ ܡܢܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܀

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Isaiah 54:13 Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

⁴⁶ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܀

⁴⁶ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

⁴⁷ Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܀

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܟܠܘ ܡܢܢܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܀

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܀

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܚܬܬ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܠ ܦܓܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܝܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܀

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.”

⁵²ܢܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܢܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܀

⁵²The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

⁵³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܠܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܘܬܫܬܘܢ ܕܡܗ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܟܘܢ ܀

⁵³Jesus 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.

⁵⁴ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܓܪܝ ܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ܦܓܪܝ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܕܡܝ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܬܝܐ ܀

⁵⁵ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܦܓܪܝ ܘܫܬܐ ܕܡܝ ܒܝ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܀

⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܒܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܢܐܟܠܢܝ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܢܚܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܀

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸ܗܢܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܀

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.”

⁵⁹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܀

⁵⁹He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܩܫܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܡܥܗ ܀

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”

⁶¹ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܪܛܢܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁶¹But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?

⁶²ܐܢ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܠܩ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܀

⁶² Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

⁶³ܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܚܝܐ ܦܓܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܗܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܠܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܚܝܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

⁶³ It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁴ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܠܡ ܠܗ ܀

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.

⁶⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܀

⁶⁵He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”

⁶⁶ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܒܤܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܀

⁶⁶At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܀

⁶⁷Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”

⁶⁸ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܢܐܙܠ ܡܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܀

⁶⁸Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ܘܚܢܢ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܘܝܕܥܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܀

⁶⁹We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

⁷⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܘܡܢܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܤܛܢܐ ܗܘ ܀

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”

⁷¹ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܀

⁷¹Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
