60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, “This word is hard; who can listen to it?”

61But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this offend you?"

62Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

63It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh benefits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

64But there are some among you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.

65And he was saying, “For this reason I have told you that no one is able to come to me unless it has been given to him from the Father.”

66From this time many of his disciples went back and no longer walked with him.

67So Jesus said to the Twelve, “You do not want to go away too, do you?”

68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have words of eternal life,”

69And we have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.

70Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.”

71He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for this one was about to betray him, being one of the Twelve.
