60 Therefore many of His adisciples, when they heard this said, “bThis is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?”

61 But Jesus, aconscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this bcause you to stumble?

62 “What then if you see athe Son of Man bascending to where He was before?

63 “aIt is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; bthe words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

64 “But there are asome of you who do not believe.” For Jesus bknew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and cwho it was that would 1betray Him.

65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have asaid to you, that no one can come to Me unless bit has been granted him from the Father.”

Peter’s Confession of Faith

66 As a result of this many of His adisciples bwithdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

67 So Jesus said to athe twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”

68 aSimon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have bwords of eternal life.

69 “We have believed and have come to know that You are athe Holy One of God.”

70 Jesus answered them, “aDid I Myself not choose you, bthe twelve, and yet one of you is ca devil?”

71 Now He meant Judas athe son of Simon Iscariot, for he, bone of cthe twelve, 1was going to betray Him.
