John 6:47-71 GW I can guarantee this truth: Every believer has eternal life. (48) "I am the bread of life. (49) Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert and died. (50) This is the bread that comes from heaven so that whoever eats it won't die. (51) I am the living bread that came from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. The bread I will give to bring life to the world is my flesh." (52) The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" (53) Jesus told them, "I can guarantee this truth: If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have the source of life in you. (54) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day. (55) My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. (56) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them. (57) The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me. (58) This is the bread that came from heaven. It is not like the bread your ancestors ate. They eventually died. Those who eat this bread will live forever." (59) Jesus said this while he was teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum. (60) When many of Jesus' disciples heard him, they said, "What he says is hard to accept. Who wants to listen to him anymore?" (61) Jesus was aware that his disciples were criticizing his message. So Jesus asked them, "Did what I say make you lose faith? (62) What if you see the Son of Man go where he was before? (63) Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn't contribute to that life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. They are life. (64) But some of you don't believe." Jesus knew from the beginning those who wouldn't believe and the one who would betray him. (65) So he added, "That is why I told you that people cannot come to me unless the Father provides the way." (66) Jesus' speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Jesus. (67) So Jesus asked the twelve apostles, "Do you want to leave me too?" (68) Simon Peter answered Jesus, "Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life. (69) Besides, we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." (70) Jesus replied, "I chose all twelve of you. Yet, one of you is a devil." (71) Jesus meant Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Judas, who was one of the twelve apostles, would later betray Jesus.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
