1After these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed beyond Lake Kinneret (Lake Tiberias).

2And a riezige (sizable) multitude was following him, because they were seeing the otot (miraculous signs) which he was doing on the cholim (the ones being ill).

3And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain, and there he was sitting with his talmidim.

4Pesach was near at hand, the Chag (Jewish Feast).

5Therefore, having lifted up his eyes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw that a great multitude is coming to him, and he says to Philippos, From where may we buy lechem that these ones may eat?

6But he was saying this to test Philippos, for he himself knew what he was about to do.

7In reply, Philippos said, Two hundred denarii worth of lechem would not be enough that each one may take a little okhel.

8One of his talmidim, Andrew, ach of Shim'on Kefa, says to him,

9There is a na'ar (lad) here who has five barley loaves and two dagim (fish), but what are these for so many? ¹²⁶

10Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Instruct the anashim (men) to recline. Now there was much grass in the area. Therefore the anashim reclined, their number being about chameshet alafim.

11Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the loaves and, having made the bracha, distributed to the ones bimesibba (reclining); likewise also he distributed of the dagim (fish) as much as they were wanting.

12Now when they were filled, he tells his talmidim, Gather the shirayim (Rebbeʼs leftovers), that nothing may be lost.

13Therefore, what they gathered from the five barley loaves filled Sheneym Asar (Twelve) baskets of shirayim left over by the ones having eaten.

14Therefore, the anashim, having seen what ot (miraculous sign) he did, were saying, This one is beemes the Navi, Hu HaBah, the one coming into the Olam Hazeh. ¹²⁷

15Therefore, Yehoshua, having had da'as that they are about to come and to seize him that they might make him king by force, departed alone again to the mountain, withdrawing by himself.

16And as erev came, his talmidim went down to the sea.

17And having embarked into a sirah, they were going across the sea to K'far-Nachum. And choshech already had come and Yehoshua had not yet come to them.

18And the sea, as a great wind blew, was becoming aroused.

19Therefore, having rowed about esrim v'chamash or sheloshim stadia, they see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach walking on the sea and coming near the sirah, and they were gefeirlich (horribly) frightened. ¹²⁸

20But he says to them, Ani Hu. Do not be afraid.

21Therefore, the talmidim were willing to receive him into the sirah. And immediately the sirah came to the shore to which they were going.

22On the next day the multitude that had stayed on the other side of Lake Kinneret saw that there had been only one sirah with which to cross the sea. They knew that Yehoshua had not embarked with his talmidim in that sirah, but that his talmidim had departed by themselves.

23Then some sirot (boats) came ashore from Tiberias and landed near the area where they ate the lechem after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu had made the bracha.

24Therefore, when the multitude saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is not there, nor his talmidim, they embarked into the sirot and came to K'far-Nachum, seeking Yehoshua.

25And having found him across the sea, they said to him, Rebbe, when did you come here?

26In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Omein, omein, I say to you, you are seeking me not because you saw otot (miraculous signs), but because you ate of the loaves and were glutted.

27Do not work for the okhel that is perishing, but for the okhel remaining to Chayyei Olam, which the Bar Enosh ¹²⁹will give to you, for Elohim HaAv has set His chotam (seal) on this one. ¹³⁰

28Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, What may we do that we may work the pe'ulot Hashem?

29In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, This is the mitzvah of Hashem, that you may believe in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach whom Hashem has sent.

30They said, therefore, to him, What ot (sign) then do you perform that we may see and may have emunah in you? What work do you do?

31Avoteinu ate the manna in the wilderness, ¹³¹as it has been written, LECHEM from SHOMAYIM he gave them to eat. ¹³²

32Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, it was not Moshe who has given you the lechem out of Shomayim, but HaAv of me gives you the lechem ha'amitti (the true bread) out of Shomayim.

33For the lechem of Hashem is that which comes down out of Shomayim and giving Chayyim (Life) to HaOlam.

34Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, always give us this lechem.

35Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Ani Hu ¹³³the lechem haChayyim; the one coming to me never hungers, and the one with emunah in me will never thirst again.

36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not have bitachon, you lack emunah.

37All which HaAv gives to me will come to me, and the one coming to me I will never turn away.

38For I have come down from Shomayim not that I may do my ratzon, but the ratzon of the One having sent me.

39Now this is the ratzon of the One Who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all which He has given me, but I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon (Last Day). ¹³⁴

40For this is the ratzon of Avi: that everyone seeing the Ben ¹³⁵and believing in him may have Chayyei Olam, and on Yom HaAcharon I will raise him up.

41Therefore, those of Yehudah were murmuring about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because he said, Ani Hu ¹³⁶the lechem having come down out of Shomayim. ¹³⁷

42And they were saying, Is this man not Yehoshua Ben Yosef, ¹³⁸and do we not know his Av and his Em? Now how does he say, Out of Shomayim I have come down. ¹³⁹

43Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, Do not grumble among yourselves.

44No one is able to come to me unless HaAv Who sent me should draw him, and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon. ¹⁴⁰

45It has been written in the Nevi'im, V'CHOL they LIMUDI HASHEM (They shall all be taught of G-d). ¹⁴¹Everyone having heard from HaAv and having learned comes to me.

46Not that anyone has seen HaAv except the one being sent from Hashem; this one has seen HaAv.

47Omein, omein, I say to you, the one having emunah has Chayyei Olam.

48Ani Hu the lechem haChayyim. ¹⁴²

49Your Avot ate in the wilderness the manna and died.

50This is the lechem coming down out of Shomayim, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. ¹⁴³

51Ani hu the lechem haChai (the living bread) having come down out of Shomayim. If anyone eats of this lechem he will live l'olam v'ed. And, indeed, the lechem which I will give on behalf of the Chayyim (life) of HaOlam is the basar of me. ¹⁴⁴

52Therefore, those of Yehudah were arguing with one another, saying, How is this man able to give us the basar of him to eat?

53Therefore, he said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, unless you eat the ¹⁴⁵basar of the Bar Enosh and drink ¹⁴⁶his dahm, you do not have Chayyim (Life) in yourselves. ¹⁴⁷

54The one feeding on my ¹⁴⁸basar and drinking ¹⁴⁹dahmi has Chayyei Olam and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon. ¹⁵⁰

55For my basar is okhel emes (true food) and dahmi is shikuy emes (true drink).

56The one feeding on my basar and drinking dahmi abides in, ¹⁵¹dwells in me and I in him. ¹⁵²

57As HaAv HaChai sent me and I live because of HaAv, so also whoever is feeding on me even that one will live because of me.

58This is the lechem out of Shomayim having come down, not as the Avot ate and died; the one feeding on this lechem will live l'olam v'ed.

59These things he said in a shul while teaching in K'far-Nachum.

60Therefore, many of Moshiachʼs talmidim, having heard, said, Hard is this dvar torah. Who is able to hear it? ¹⁵³

61And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da'as in himself that his talmidim are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause a michshol for you?

62What if you behold the Bar Enosh ascending where he was Bereshis?

63The Ruach Hakodesh is that which is making alive, the basar does not profit anything. The devarim which I have spoken to you are as Ruach and they are as Chayyim (Life).

64But there are of you some who do not have emunah. For from Bereshis, he had da'as of whom are the ones not having emunah and who is the one betraying him.

65And he was saying, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to me unless it has been bashert to him from HaAv.

66From this time, many of his talmidim fell away and no longer followed him as talmidim.

67Therefore, he said to the Sheneym Asar, Surely you do not want to depart also?

68In reply, Shim'on Kefa said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, to whom will we go? You have the divrei haChayyei Olam.

69And we have bitachon and have trusted with emunah and we have da'as that you are HaKadosh of Hashem ¹⁵⁴(the Holy One of G-d).

70In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Did I not choose you Sheneym Asar (Twelve)? And is one of you not a Satan?

71Now he was speaking of Yehudah Ben Shim'on from K'riot, for, though he was one of the Sheneym Asar, this one was about to betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
