John 6v60-71

Heavenly father
give us grace when we are tempted to give up hope, to trust in you.

⁶⁰ Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this (that those who eat Jesus’ flesh and drinks his blood live in him, and he in them.), said,
“This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
⁶¹ But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble? 
⁶² Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 
⁶³ It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. 
⁶⁴ But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him. 
⁶⁵ He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
⁶⁶ At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 
⁶⁹ We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 
⁷¹ Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
