⁶⁶ Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

⁶ And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

⁴¹ Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

⁴³ Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

¹¹ Of whom we have much to say which it is hard to make clear, because you are slow of hearing.

¹⁶ And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.
