John 6

1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

1 Derefter drog Jesus over til hin Side af Galilæas Sø, Tiberias Søen.

2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

2 Og en stor Skare fulgte ham, fordi de så de Tegn, som han gjorde på de syge.

3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

3 Men Jesus gik op på Bjerget og satte sig der med sine Disciple.

4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

4 Men Påsken, Jødernes Højtid, var nær.

5 When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

5 Da Jesus nu opløftede sine Øjne og så, at en stor Skare kom til ham, sagde han til Filip: “Hvor skulle vi købe Brød, for at disse kunne få noget at spise?”

6 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

6 Men dette sagde han for at prøve ham; thi han vidste selv, hvad han vilde gøre.

7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

7 Filip svarede ham: “Brød for to Hundrede Denarer* er ikke nok for dem, til at hver kan få noget lidet.” { [se Matth. 18, 28.] }

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

8 En af hans Disciple, Andreas, Simon Peters Broder, siger til ham:

9 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

9 “Her er en lille Dreng, som har fem Bygbrød og to Småfisk; men hvad er dette til så mange?”

10 “Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

10 Jesus sagde: “Lader Folkene sætte sig ned;” og der var meget Græs på Stedet. Da satte Mændene sig ned, omtrent fem Tusinde i Tallet.

11 Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

11 Så tog Jesus Brødene og takkede og uddelte dem til dem, som havde sat sig ned; ligeledes også af Småfiskene så meget, de vilde.

12 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

12 Men da de vare blevne mætte, siger han til sine Disciple: “Samler de tiloversblevne Stykker sammen, for at intet skal gå til Spilde.”

13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

13 Da samlede de og fyldte tolv Kurve med Stykker, som bleve tilovers af de fem Bygbrød fra dem, som havde fået Mad.

14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

14 Da nu Folkene så det Tegn, som han havde gjort, sagde de: “Denne er i Sandhed Profeten, som kommer til Verden.”

15 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

15 Da Jesus nu skønnede, at de vilde komme og tage ham med Magt for at gøre ham til Konge, gik han atter op på Bjerget, ganske alene.

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

16 Men da det var blevet Aften, gik hans Disciple ned til Søen.

17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

17 Og de gik om Bord i et Skib og vilde sætte over til hin Side af Søen til Kapernaum. Og det var allerede blevet mørkt, og Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til dem.

18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

18 Og Søen rejste sig, da der blæste en stærk Vind.

19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

19 Da de nu havde roet omtrent fem og tyve eller tredive Stadier, se de Jesus vandre på Søen og komme nær til Skibet, og de forfærdedes.

20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

20 Men han siger til dem: “Det er mig; frygter ikke!”

21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

21 Da vilde de tage ham op i Skibet; og straks kom Skibet til Landet, som de sejlede til.

22 The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

22 Den næste dag så Skaren, som stod på hin Side af Søen, at der ikke havde været mere end ét Skib der, og at Jesus ikke var gået om Bord med sine Disciple, men at hans Disciple vare dragne bort alene,

23 However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

23 (men der var kommet Skibe fra Tiberias nær til det Sted, hvor de spiste Brødet, efter at Herren havde gjort Taksigelse):

24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

24 da Skaren nu så, at Jesus ikke var der, ej heller hans Disciple, gik de om Bord i Skibene og kom til Kapernaum for at søge efter Jesus.

25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

25 Og da de fandt ham på hin Side af Søen, sagde de til ham: “Rabbi! når er du kommen hid?”

26 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

26 Jesus svarede dem og sagde: “Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I søge mig, ikke fordi I så Tegn, men fordi I spiste af Brødene og bleve mætte.

27 Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

27 Arbejder ikke for den Mad, som er forgængelig, men for den Mad, som varer til et evigt Liv, hvilken Menneskesønnen vil give eder; thi ham har Faderen, Gud selv, beseglet.”

28 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

28 Da sagde de til ham: “Hvad skulle vi gøre, for at vi kunne arbejde på Guds Gerninger?”

29 Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

29 Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: “Dette er Guds Gerning, at I tro på den, som han udsendte.”

30 So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?

30 Da sagde de til ham: “Hvad gør du da for et Tegn, for at vi kunne se det og tro dig? Hvad Arbejde gør du?

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

31 Vore Fædre åde Manna i Ørkenen, som der er skrevet: Han gav dem Brød fra Himmelen at æde.”

32 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

32 Da sagde Jesus til dem: “Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, ikke Moses har givet eder Brødet fra Himmelen, men min Fader giver eder det sande Brød fra Himmelen.

33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

33 Thi Guds Brød er det, som kommer ned fra Himmelen og giver Verden Liv.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

34 Da sagde de til ham: “Herre! giv os altid dette Brød!”

35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

35 Jesus sagde til dem: “Jeg er Livets Brød. Den, som kommer til mig, skal ikke hungre; og den, som tror på mig, skal aldrig tørste.

36 But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

36 Men jeg har sagt eder, at I have set mig og dog ikke tro.

37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

37 Alt, hvad Faderen giver mig, skal komme til mig; og den, som kommer til mig, vil jeg ingenlunde kaste ud.

38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

38 Thi jeg er kommen ned fra Himmelen, ikke for at gøre min Villie, men hans Villie, som sendte mig.

39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

39 Men dette er hans Villie, som sendte mig, at jeg skal intet miste af alt det, som han har givet mig, men jeg skal oprejse det på den yderste Dag.

40 For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

40 Thi dette er min Faders Villie, at hver den, som ser Sønnen og tror på ham, skal have et evigt Liv, og jeg skal oprejse ham på den yderste Dag.”

41 At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

41 Da knurrede Jøderne over ham, fordi han sagde: “Jeg er det Brød, som kom ned fra Himmelen,”

42 They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

42 og de sagde: “Er dette ikke Jesus, Josefs Søn, hvis Fader og Moder vi kende? Hvorledes kan han da sige: Jeg er kommen ned fra Himmelen?”

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

43 Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: “Knurrer ikke indbyrdes!

44 “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

44 Ingen kan komme til mig, uden Faderen, som sendte mig, drager ham; og jeg skal oprejse ham på den yderste Dag.

45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

45 Der er skrevet hos Profeterne: “Og de skulle alle være oplærte af Gud.” Hver den, som har hørt af Faderen og lært, kommer til mig.

46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

46 Ikke at nogen har set Faderen, kun den, som er fra Gud, han har set Faderen.

47 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

47 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som tror på mig, har et evigt Liv.

48 I am the bread of life.

48 Jeg er Livets Brød.

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

49 Eders Fædre åde Manna i Ørkenen og døde.

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

50 Dette er det Brød, som kommer ned fra Himmelen, at man skal æde af det og ikke dø.

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

51 Jeg er det levende Brød, som kom ned fra Himmelen; om nogen æder af dette Brød, han skal leve til evig Tid; og det Brød, som jeg vil give, er mit Kød, hvilket jeg vil give for Verdens Liv.”

52 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

52 Da kivedes Jøderne indbyrdes og sagde: “Hvorledes kan han give os sit Kød at æde?”

53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

53 Jesus sagde da til dem: “Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I ikke æde Menneskesønnens Kød og drikke hans Blod, have I ikke Liv i eder.

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

54 Den, som æder mit Kød og drikker mit Blod, har et evigt Liv, og jeg skal oprejse ham på den yderste Dag.

55 For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

55 Thi mit Kød er sand Mad, og mit Blod er sand Drikke.

56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

56 Den, som æder mit Kød og drikker mit Blod, han bliver i mig, og jeg i ham.

57 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

57 Ligesom den levende Fader udsendte mig, og jeg lever i Kraft af Faderen, ligeså skal også den, som æder mig, leve i Kraft af mig.

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

58 dette er det Brød, som er kommet ned fra Himmelen; ikke som eders Fædre åde og døde. Den, som æder dette Brød, skal leve evindelig.”

59 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

59 Dette sagde han, da han lærte i en Synagoge i Kapernaum.

60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

60 Da sagde mange af hans Disciple, som havde hørt ham: “Dette er en hård Tale; hvem kan høre den?”

61 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

61 Men da Jesus vidste hos sig selv, at hans Disciple knurrede derover, sagde han til dem: “Forarger dette eder?

62 Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

62 Hvad om I da få at se, at Menneskesønnen farer op, hvor han var før?

63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

63 Det er Ånden, som levendegør, Kødet gavner intet; de Ord, som jeg har talt til eder, ere Ånd og ere Liv.

64 However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)

64 Men der er nogle af eder, som ikke tro.” Thi Jesus vidste fra Begyndelsen, hvem det var, der ikke troede, og hvem den var, der skulde forråde ham.

65 Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

65 Og han sagde: “Derfor har jeg sagt eder, at ingen kan komme til mig, uden det er givet ham af Faderen.”

66 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

66 Fra den Tid trådte mange af hans Disciple tilbage og vandrede ikke mere med ham.

67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”

67 Jesus sagde da til de tolv: “Mon også I ville gå bort?”

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

68 Simon Peter svarede ham: “Herre! til hvem skulle vi gå hen? Du har det evige Livs Ord;

69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

69 og vi have troet og erkendt, at du er Guds Hellige.”

70 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

70 Jesus svarede dem: “Har jeg ikke udvalgt mig eder tolv, og en af eder er en Djævel?”

71 He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

71 Men han talte om Judas, Simon Iskariots Søn; thi det var ham, som siden skulde forråde ham, skønt han var en af de tolv.
