John 6:62 — Meaning and Application

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard {this}, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? {offend: or, scandalize, or, cause you to stumble}

{What} and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, {they} are spirit, and {they} are life.

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
