* So many of his disciples , when they heard it , said . "This teaching is unbelievable ! Who can listen to him ?" * Jesus , conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching , said to them . * "Does this displease you ? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before ? * "The spirit is what gives life ; the flesh is of no avail . The words which I have been speaking to you , are spirit and are life . * "Yet there are some of you who do not believe ." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe , and who it was who should betray him . * So he added , "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father ." * Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him . * So Jesus appealed to the Twelve . "You also do not wish to leave me , do you ?" * Simon Peter answered . "To whom shall we go Master ? You have words of eternal life ; * "and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God ." * In reply Jesus said to them . "Have I not chosen you , the Twelve ? And yet even of you one is an enemy ." * Now Jesus was speaking of Judas , the son of Simon Iscariot ; for Judas was to betray him , although he was one of the Twelve .
