John 6:45 - 71

Jesus continues instructing His followers concerning Himself.  He describes Himself as the Bread of Life; those who partake of Him will never hunger and will live forever.  The followers find this hard to understand, so Jesus tells them that the flesh profits nothing (it's not real flesh that they need to eat!) but that the Holy Spirit gives life.  Because of this, no one can come to Jesus for this life unless God the Father allows it.  This saying was so difficult to accept and understand that many of those who followed Jesus stopped doing so.  His closest followers, called His disciples, pledged that they would stay, knowing that He was indeed the promised Messiah.  Yet, even among that group was one who would eventually betray Jesus.
