Therefore many of His ^(cq)disciples, when they heard this said, "^(cr)This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

But Jesus, ^(cs)conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this ^(ct)cause you to stumble?

What then if you see ^(cu)the Son of Man ^(cv)ascending to where He was before?

^(cw)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; ^(cx)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

But there are ^(cy)some of you who do not believe." For Jesus ^(cz)knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and ^(da)who it was that would ^[j]betray Him.

And He was saying, "For this reason I have ^(db)said to you, that no one can come to Me unless ^(dc)it has been granted him from the Father."

As a result of this many of His ^(dd)disciples ^(de)withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

So Jesus said to ^(df)the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"

^(dg)Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^(dh)words of eternal life.

We have believed and have come to know that You are ^(di)the Holy One of God."

Jesus answered them, "^(dj)Did I Myself not choose you, ^(dk)the twelve, and yet one of you is ^(dl)a devil?"

Now He meant Judas ^(dm)the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, ^(dn)one of ^(do)the twelve, ^[k]was going to betray Him.
