59. These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
60. many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'
61. And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?
62. if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?
63. the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
64. but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,
65. and he said, `Because of this I have said to you--No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'
66. From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,
67. Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?'
68. Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;
69. and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
70. Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you--the twelve? and of you--one is a devil.
71. And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
