Muri iho i enei mea ka whiti atu a Ihu i te moana o Kariri, ara i te moana o Taipiria.

A he rahi te hui i aru i a ia, i kite hoki ratou i ana merekara i mea ai ia ki nga turoro.

Na ka haere a Ihu ki runga i te maunga, a noho ana i reira ratou ko ana akonga.

Kua tata hoki te kapenga, te hakari a nga Hurai.

A, no te marangatanga ake o nga kanohi o Ihu, ka kite i te rahi o te hui e haere mai ana ki a ia; ka mea ia ki a Piripi, Ko hea tatou hoko ai i etahi taro, kia kai ai enei?

I penei ai tana ki hei whakamatau mona; i mohio hoki ia ki tana e mea ai.

Ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, E kore e ranei ma ratou nga taro o nga pene e rua rau, kia whiwhi ai tenei, tenei o ratou i tetahi wahi iti.

Ka mea tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, a Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita,

He tamaiti tenei, e rima ana taro pare, e rua ika nonohi; heoi hei aha enei ma tenei ope nui?

10 Na ka mea a Ihu, Meinga nga tangata kia noho. He nui hoki te tarutaru i taua wahi. Na noho ana nga tane ki raro, te tokomaha me te mea e rima mano.

11 Na ka mau a Ihu ki nga taro; a ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka tuwha atu ki te hunga e moho ra; me nga ika ano, ta ratou i pai ai.

12 A, no ka makona ratou, ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Kohikohia nga toenga o nga whatiwhatinga, kei maumauria tetahi wahi.

13 Na kohikohia ana e ratou, a whakakiia ana nga kete tekau ma rua ki nga whatiwhatinga o nga taro pare e rima, ki nga toenga a nga tangata i kai ra.

14 A, i te kitenga o aua tangata i te merekara i meatia e Ihu, ka ki ratou, Ko ia ano tenei, ko te poropiti e haere mai ana ki te ao.

15 Na ka mahara a Ihu, meake ratou haere mai ki te tango i a ia, ki te whakakingi i a ia, na maunu ana ano ia ki te maunga, ko ia anake.

16 A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere ana akonga ki te moana.

17 Na ka eke ratou ki te kaipuke, ka whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki Kaperenauma. A kua pouri noa ake, kahore ano a Ihu kia tae noa mai ki a ratou.

18 Na ko te turanga o te moana, he nui hoki no te puhanga o te hau.

19 Na, i to ratou hoenga atu, e rua tekau ma rima, e toru tekau ranei paronga, ka kite i a Ihu e haere maori ana i runga i te moana, e whakatata ana ki te kaipuke; na ka mataku ratou.

20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko ahau tenei, aua e wehi.

21 Na ka mea ratou kia eke ia ki te kaipuke: a kihai i aha kua u te kaipuke ki te wahi i hoe ai ratou.

22 I te aonga ake, ka mahara te mano e tu ana ki tera taha o te moana, kahore he poti ke atu o reira, ko tera anake i eke ai ana akonga, kihai hoki a Ihu i eke tahi ratou ko ana akonga ki te poti, engari ko ana akonga anake i haere;

23 He poti ke ra ia i u mai i Taipiria ki pahaki atu o te wahi i kai ai ratou i te taro i ta te Ariki whakawhetainga:

24 A, i te kitenga o te mano kahore a Ihu i reira, kahore ano hoki ana akonga, ka eke hoki ratou ki nga kaipuke, ka rere ki Kaperenauma ki te rapu i a Ihu.

25 A, no to ratou kitenga i a ia i tawahi o te moana, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, nonahea koe i tae mai ai ki konei?

26 Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou ka mea, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ehara i te mea he kitenga no koutou i nga merekara i rapu ai koutou i ahau, engari no te mea i kai koutou i nga taro, a ka makona.

27 Aua e mahia te kai memeha, engari te kai e mau tonu ana a te ora tonu ra ano, ko ta te Tama hoki a te tangata e hoatu ai ki a koutou: kua oti hoki ia te whai tohu e te Atua, e te Matua.

28 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou e mahi ai i nga mahi a te Atua?

29 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko ta te Atua mahi tenei, kia whakapono koutou ki tana i tono mai ai.

30 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko tehea tohu te meatia ana e koe kia kite ai matou, kia whakapono ai ki a koe? tena koa tau mahi?

31 I kai o tatou matua i te mana i te koraha; ko te mea hoki tena i tuhituhia, i homai e ia he taro i te rangi hei kai ma ratou.

32 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, he pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ehara i a Mohi nana i hoatu tena taro ki a koutou i te rangi; engari tenei te hoatu nei e toku Matua ki a koutou te taro pono o te rangi.

33 Ko te taro hoki a te Atua ko ia e heke iho ana i te rangi, e homai ana i te ora ki te ao.

34 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, homai tenei taro ki a matou i nga wa katoa.

35 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko ahau te taro o te ora: ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e hiakai; ki te whakapono hoki tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e matewai.

36 Otira i mea ano ahau ki a koutou, Kua kite koutou i ahau, a kahore i whakapono.

37 Ko a te Matua e homai ai ki ahau ka haere katoa mai ki ahau; a ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa e panga e ahau ki waho.

38 I heke iho hoki ahau i te rangi, ehara i te mea hei mahi i taku i pai ai, engari i ta toku kaitono mai i pai ai.

39 Ko ta te Matua i pai ai, nana nei ahau i tono mai, koia tenei, kia kaua e ngaro i ahau tetahi wahi o nga mea katoa i homai e ia ki ahau; engari kia whakaarahia ake e ahau a te ra whakamutunga.

40 Ko ta toku Matua hoki tenei i pai ai, ko te tangata e kite ana i te Tama, e whakapono ana ano ki a ia, kia whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu; maku ano ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga.

41 Na ka korero komuhumuhu nga Hurai ki a ia, mona i mea, Ko ahau te taro i heke iho i te rangi.

42 Ka mea ratou, Ehara oti tenei i a Ihu, tama a Hohepa, e mohio nei tatou ki tona papa raua ko tona whaea? ha! he pehea tana e ki nei, I heke iho ahau i te rangi?

43 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kati te komuhumuhu i roto i a koutou.

44 Kahore he tangata e ahei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kahore ia e kumea mai e te Matua, nana nei ahau i tono mai: e maku ano ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga.

45 Kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i nga poropiti, A ka whakaakona ratou katoa e te Atua. Na, ko te tangata kua rongo ki te Matua, kua akona hoki, ka haere mai ki ahau.

46 Ehara i te mea kua kite tetahi i te Matua; ko ia anake i puta mai i te Atua, ko ia kua kite i te Matua.

47 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te whakapono tetahi, he ora tonu tona.

48 Ko ahau te taro o te ora.

49 I kai ra o koutou matua i te mana i te koraha, a i mate ratou.

50 Ko te taro tenei e heke iho ana i te rangi, kia kai ai te tangata i a ia, a kia kaua e mate.

51 Ko ahau te taro ora i heke iho i te rangi; ki te kai tetahi i tenei taro, e ora tonu ia: ae ra, ko te taro e hoatu e ahau ko oku kikokiko, e hoatu e ahau hei oranga mo te ao

52 Na ka totohe nga Hurai tetahi ki tetahi, ka mea, Me pehea e homai ai e tenei tangata ona kikokiko kia kainga e tatou?

53 Na, ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, he pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore koutou e kai i nga kikokiko o te Tama a te tangata, e inu i ona toto, kahore he ora i roto i a koutou ake.

54 Ko ia e kai ana i oku kikokiko, e inu ana i oku toto, he ora tonu tona; a maku ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga.

55 He kai pono hoki oku kikokiko, he mea pono oku toto hei inumanga.

56 Ko ia e kai ana i oku kikokiko, e inu ana i oku toto, e noho ana i roto i ahau, me ahau hoki i roto i a ia.

57 Na te Matua ora hoki ahau i tono mai, no te Matua ano toku ora: waihoki ki te kai tetahi i ahau, kei ahau he ora mona.

58 Ko te taro tenei i heke iho i te rangi: e kore e pera i ta o koutou matua i kai ra, a mate ana; ki te kai tetahi i tenei taro, e ora tonu ia.

59 I korerotia enei mea e ia i roto i te whare karakia, i a ia e whakaako ana i Kaperenauma.

60 Na he tokomaha ana akonga i te rongonga, i mea, he kupu pakeke tenei; ko wai e ahei te whakarongo atu?

61 Ka mohio ia a Ihu i roto i a ia, e komuhumuhu ana ana akonga ki tenei, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E he ana koutou ki tenei?

62 Ka pehea ra ki te kite koutou i te Tama a te tangata e kake atu ana ki te wahi i noho ai ia i mua?

63 Ko te wairua te whakaora ana; kahore a te kikokiko wahi: ko nga kupu e korero nei ahau ki a koutou he wairua, he ora.

64 Tenei ano ia etahi o koutou kahore o ratou whakapono. I matau hoki a Ihu no te timatanga ki nga mea kahore o ratou whakapono, ki te tangata ano e tukua ai ia.

65 A ka mea ia, Na konei ahau i mea ai ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata e ahei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kahore e hoatu ki a ia e toku Matua.

66 I taua wa he tokomaha ana akonga i hoki ki muri, a mutu ake ta ratou haere tahi me ia.

67 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te tekau ma rua, E mea ana ano ranei koutou kia haere?

68 Na ka whakahokia e Haimona Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, me haere matou ki a wai? kei a koe nga kupu o te ora tonu.

69 Kua whakapono matou, kua matau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.

70 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, he teka ianei kotahi tekau ma rua koutou i whiriwhiria e ahau, he rewera ano tetahi o koutou?

71 Ko Hura Ikariote tama a Haimona tana i korero ai: ko te tanga hoki ia meake nei tuku i a ia; ko tetahi hoki ia o te tekau ma rua.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(A)

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs(B) he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside(C) and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival(D) was near.

When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,(E) “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”

Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,(F) spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”(G)

10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks,(H) and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14 After the people saw the sign(I) Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”(J) 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king(K) by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.(L)

Jesus Walks on the Water(M)

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water;(N) and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”(O) 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake(P) realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.(Q) 23 Then some boats from Tiberias(R) landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.(S) 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

Jesus the Bread of Life

25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,(T) when did you get here?”

26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,(U) not because you saw the signs(V) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures(W) to eternal life,(X) which the Son of Man(Y) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal(Z) of approval.”

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe(AA) in the one he has sent.”(AB)

30 So they asked him, “What sign(AC) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?(AD) What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna(AE) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c](AF)

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven(AG) and gives life to the world.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(AH)

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(AI) the bread of life.(AJ) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(AK) in me will never be thirsty.(AL) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(AM) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(AN) not to do my will but to do the will(AO) of him who sent me.(AP) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(AQ) but raise them up at the last day.(AR) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(AS) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(AT) and I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,(AU) whose father and mother we know?(AV) How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”(AW)

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,(AX) and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[d](AY) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God;(AZ) only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.(BA) 48 I am the bread of life.(BB) 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.(BC) 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,(BD) which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread(BE) that came down from heaven.(BF) Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”(BG)

52 Then the Jews(BH) began to argue sharply among themselves,(BI) “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(BJ) of the Son of Man(BK) and drink his blood,(BL) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(BM) 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.(BN) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(BO) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(BP) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Many Disciples Desert Jesus

60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(BQ) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(BR)

61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(BS) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(BT) ascend to where he was before!(BU) 63 The Spirit gives life;(BV) the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[e] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known(BW) from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.(BX) 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”(BY)

66 From this time many of his disciples(BZ) turned back and no longer followed him.

67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.(CA)

68 Simon Peter answered him,(CB) “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.(CC) 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”(CD)

70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you,(CE) the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”(CF) 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,(CG) who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)(CH)
