1Post hæc abiit Jesus trans mare Galilææ,After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee,quod est Tiberiadis:which is the Sea of Tiberias.

2et sequebatur eum multitudo magna,And a great multitude was following him,quia videbant signa quæ faciebat super his qui infirmabantur.for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.

3Subiit ergo in montem Jesus et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis.Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.

4Erat autem proximum Pascha dies festus Judæorum.Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.

5Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Jesus,And so,et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum,when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him,dixit ad Philippum:he said to Philip,Unde ememus panes,“From where should we buy bread,ut manducent hi?so that these may eat?”

6Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum:But he said this to test him.ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus.For he himself knew what he would do.

7Respondit ei Philippus:Philip answered him,Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat.“Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”

8Dicit ei unus ex discipulis ejus,One of his disciples, Andrew,Andreas, frater Simonis Petri:the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:

9Est puer unus hic qui habet quinque panes hordeaceos“There is a certain boy here,et duos pisces:who has five barley loaves and two fish.sed hæc quid sunt inter tantos?But what are these among so many?”

10Dixit ergo Jesus:Then Jesus said,Facite homines discumbere.“Have the men sit down to eat.”Erat autem fœnum multum in loco.Now, there was much grass in that place.Discubuerunt ergo viri,And so the men,numero quasi quinque millia.in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.

11Accepit ergo Jesus panes:Therefore, Jesus took the bread,et cum gratias egisset,and when he had given thanks,distribuit discumbentibus:he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat;similiter et ex piscibus quantum volebant.similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.

12Ut autem impleti sunt,Then, when they were filled,dixit discipulis suis:he said to his disciples,Colligite quæ superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant.“Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”

13Collegerunt ergo,And so they gathered,et impleverunt duodecim cophinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus hordeaceis,and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves,quæ superfuerunt his qui manducaverant.which were left over from those who had eaten.

14Illi ergo homines cum vidissent quod Jesus fecerat signum,Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign,dicebant:they said,Quia hic est vere propheta, qui venturus est in mundum.“Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

15Jesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi essent ut raperent eum, et facerent eum regem,And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king,fugit iterum in montem ipse solus.Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

16Ut autem sero factum est,Then, when evening arrived,descenderunt discipuli ejus ad mare.his disciples descended to the sea.

17Et cum ascendissent navim,And when they had climbed into a boat,venerunt trans mare in Capharnaum:they went across the sea to Capernaum.et tenebræ jam factæ erantAnd darkness had now arrived,et non venerat ad eos Jesus.and Jesus had not returned to them.

18Mare autem, vento magno flante, exsurgebat.Then the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing.

19Cum remigassent ergo quasi stadia viginti quinqueAnd so,aut triginta,when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,vident Jesum ambulantem supra mare,they saw Jesus walking on the sea,et proximum navi fieri,and drawing near to the boat,et timuerunt.and they were afraid.

20Ille autem dicit eis:But he said to them:Ego sum,“It is I.nolite timere.Do not be afraid.”

21Voluerunt ergo accipere eum in navimTherefore,et statim navis fuit ad terram,they were willing to receive him into the boat.in quam ibant.But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

22Altera die,On the next day,turba, quæ stabat trans mare, vidit quia navicula alia non erat ibi nisi una,the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place,et quia non introisset cum discipulis suis Jesus in navim,except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples,sed soli discipuli ejus abiissent:but that his disciples had departed alone.

23aliæ vero supervenerunt naves a Tiberiade juxta locum ubi manducaverant panem, gratias agente Domino.Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

24Cum ergo vidisset turba quia Jesus non esset ibi,Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there,neque discipuli ejus, ascenderunt in naviculas,nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats,et venerunt Capharnaum quærentes Jesum.and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25Et cum invenissent eum trans mare,And when they had found him across the sea,dixerunt ei:they said to him,Rabbi,“Rabbi,quando huc venisti?when did you come here?”

26Respondit eis Jesus,Jesus answered them and said:et dixit:“Amen,Amen,amen,amen dico vobis:I say to you,quæritis me non quia vidistis signa,you seek me,sed quia manducastis ex panibusnot because you have seen signs,et saturati estis.but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.

27Operamini non cibum, qui perit,Do not work for food that perishes,sed qui permanet in vitam æternam,but for that which endures to eternal life,quem Filius hominis dabit vobis.which the Son of man will give to you.Hunc enim Pater signavit Deus.For God the Father has sealed him.”

28Dixerunt ergo ad eum:Therefore, they said to him,Quid faciemus ut operemur opera Dei?“What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”

29Respondit Jesus,Jesus respondedet dixit eis:and said to them,Hoc est opus Dei,“This is the work of God,ut credatis in eum quem misit ille.that you believe in him whom he sent.”

30Dixerunt ergo ei:And so they said to him:Quod ergo tu facis signum ut videamus“Then what sign will you do,et credamus tibi?so that we may see it and believe in you?quid operaris?What will you work?

31Patres nostri manducaverunt manna in deserto,Our fathers ate manna in the desert,sicut scriptum est:just as it has been written,Panem de cælo dedit eis manducare.‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32Dixit ergo eis Jesus:Therefore, Jesus said to them:Amen,“Amen,amen dico vobis:amen, I say to you,non Moyses dedit vobis panem de cælo,Moses did not give you bread from heaven,sed Pater meus dat vobis panem de cælo verum.but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33Panis enim Dei est, qui de cælo descendit, et dat vitam mundo.For the bread of God is he who descends from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34Dixerunt ergo ad eum:And so they said to him,Domine,“Lord,semper da nobis panem hunc.give us this bread always.”

35Dixit autem eis Jesus:Then Jesus said to them:Ego sum panis vitæ:“I am the bread of life.qui venit ad me, non esuriet,Whoever comes to me shall not hunger,et qui credit in me, non sitiet umquam.and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

36Sed dixi vobis quiaBut I say to you,et vidistis me,that even though you have seen me,et non creditis.you do not believe.

37Omne quod dat mihi Pater, ad me veniet:All that the Father gives to me shall come to me.et eum qui venit ad me,And whoever comes to me,non ejiciam foras:I will not cast out.

38quia descendi de cælo,For I descended from heaven,non ut faciam voluntatem meam,not to do my own will,sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.but the will of him who sent me.

39Hæc est autem voluntas ejus qui misit me,Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me:Patris: ut omne quod dedit mihi, non perdam ex eo,that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me,sed resuscitem illud in novissimo die.but that I should raise them up on the last day.

40Hæc est autem voluntas Patris mei,So then,qui misit me:this is the will of my Father who sent me:ut omnis qui videt Filium et credit in eum,that everyone who sees the Sonhabeat vitam æternam,and believes in him may have eternal life,et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41Murmurabant ergo Judæi de illo,Therefore, the Jews murmured about him,quia dixisset:because he had said:Ego sum panis vivus,“I am the living bread,qui de cælo descendi,who descended from heaven.”

42et dicebant:And they said:Nonne hic est Jesus filius Joseph,“Is this not Jesus,cujus nos novimus patremthe son of Joseph,et matrem?whose father and mother we know?quomodo ergo dicit hic:Then how can he say:Quia de cælo descendi?‘For I descended from heaven?’”

43Respondit ergo Jesus,And so Jesus respondedet dixit eis:and said to them:Nolite murmurare in invicem:“Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.

44nemo potest venire ad me,No one is able to come to me,nisi Pater,unless the Father,qui misit me,who has sent me,traxerit eum;has drawn him.et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.And I will raise him up on the last day.

45Est scriptum in prophetis:It has been written in the Prophets:Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei.‘And they shall all be taught by God.’Omnis qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me.Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.

46Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam,Not that anyone has seen the Father,nisi is, qui est a Deo,except he who is from God;hic vidit Patrem.this one has seen the Father.

47Amen,Amen,amen dico vobis:amen,qui credit in me,I say to you,habet vitam æternam.whoever believes in me has eternal life.

48Ego sum panis vitæ.I am the bread of life.

49Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto,Your fathers ate manna in the desert,et mortui sunt.and they died.

50Hic est panis de cælo descendens:This is the bread which descends from heaven,ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit,so that if anyone will eat from it,non moriatur.he may not die.

51Ego sum panis vivus,I am the living bread,qui de cælo descendi.who descended from heaven.

52Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane,If anyone eats from this bread,vivet in æternum:he shall live in eternity.et panis quem ego dabo,And the bread that I will give is my flesh,caro mea est pro mundi vita.for the life of the world.”

53Litigabant ergo Judæi ad invicem, dicentes:Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves,Quomodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducandum?saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

54Dixit ergo eis Jesus:And so, Jesus said to them:Amen,“Amen,amen dico vobis:amen, I say to you,nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis, et biberitis ejus sanguinem,unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood,non habebitis vitam in vobis.you will not have life in you.

55Qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem, habet vitam æternam:Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.and I will raise him up on the last day.

56Caro enim mea vere est cibus:For my flesh is true food,et sanguis meus, vere est potus;and my blood is true drink.

57qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem,Whoever eats my fleshin me manet,and drinks my blood abides in me,et ego in illo.and I in him.

58Sicut misit me vivens Pater,Just as the living Father has sent meet ego vivo propter Patrem:and I live because of the Father,et qui manducat me,so also whoever eats me,et ipse vivet propter me.the same shall live because of me.

59Hic est panis qui de cælo descendit.This is the bread that descends from heaven.Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna,It is not like the manna that your fathers ate,et mortui sunt.for they died.Qui manducat hunc panem, vivet in æternum.Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

60Hæc dixit in synagoga docens, in Capharnaum.He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

61Multi ergo audientes ex discipulis ejus,Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this,dixerunt: Durus est hic sermo,said: “This saying is difficult,”et quis potest eum audire?and, “Who is able to listen to it?”

62Sciens autem Jesus apud semetipsum quia murmurarent de hoc discipuli ejus,But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this,dixit eis:said to them:Hoc vos scandalizat?“Does this offend you?

63si ergo videritis Filium hominis ascendentem ubi erat prius?Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?

64Spiritus est qui vivificat:It is the Spirit who gives life.caro non prodest quidquam:The flesh does not offer anything of benefit.verba quæ ego locutus sum vobis,The words that I have spoken to you are spiritspiritus et vita sunt.and life.

65Sed sunt quidam ex vobis qui non credunt.But there are some among you who do not believe.”Sciebat enim ab initio Jesus qui essent non credentes,For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelievinget quis traditurus esset eum.and which one would betray him.

66Et dicebat:And so he said,Propterea dixi vobis,“For this reason,quia nemo potest venire ad me,I said to you that no one is able to come to me,nisi fuerit ei datum a Patre meo.unless it has been given to him by my Father.”

67Ex hoc multi discipulorum ejus abierunt retro:After this, many of his disciples went back,et jam non cum illo ambulabant.and they no longer walked with him.

68Dixit ergo Jesus ad duodecim:Therefore,NumquidJesus said to the twelve,et vos vultis abire?“Do you also want to go away?”

69Respondit ergo ei Simon Petrus:Then Simon Peter answered him:Domine,“Lord,ad quem ibimus?to whom would we go?verba vitæ æternæ habes:You have the words of eternal life.

70et nos credidimus,And we have believed,et cognovimus quia tu es Christus Filius Dei.and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

71Respondit eis Jesus:Jesus answered them:Nonne ego vos duodecim elegi:“Have I not chosen you twelve?et ex vobis unus diabolus est?And yet one among you is a devil.”

72Dicebat autem Judam Simonis Iscariotem:Now he was speaking about Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.hic enim erat traditurus eum,For this one, even though he was one of the twelve,cum esset unus ex duodecim.was about to betray him.
