6:60 他的門徒中有好些人聽見了,就說:「這話甚難,誰能聽呢?」
6:61 耶穌心裡知道門徒為這話議論,就對他們說:「這話是叫你們厭棄(原文是跌倒)嗎?
6:62 倘或你們看見人子升到他原來所在之處,怎麼樣呢?
6:63 叫人活著的乃是靈,肉體是無益的。我對你們所說的話就是靈,就是生命。
6:64 只是你們中間有不信的人。」耶穌從起頭就知道誰不信他,誰要賣他。
6:65 耶穌又說:「所以我對你們說過,若不是蒙我父的恩賜,沒有人能到我這裡來。」
6:66 從此,他門徒中多有退去的,不再和他同行。
6:67 耶穌就對那十二個門徒說:「你們也要去嗎?」
6:68 西門•彼得回答說:「主啊,你有永生之道,我們還歸從誰呢?
6:69 我們已經信了,又知道你是上帝的聖者。」
6:70 耶穌說:「我不是揀選了你們十二個門徒嗎?但你們中間有一個是魔鬼。」
6:71 耶穌這話是指著加略人西門的兒子猶大說的;他本是十二個門徒裡的一個,後來要賣耶穌的。
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[e] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)

多麼美的認信:「主啊,你有永生之道,我們還歸從誰呢?我們已經信了,又知道你是上帝的聖者。」
然而這樣的話若是沒有聖靈的支持,仍然是空話一場!因為任何美好的話,都會從人的口中說出來,若是不實在的,就是謊話一篇!也因為這樣,我們不能說一口好話,我們要有實實在在的信再來說這一段話,才不是天大的謊言!
然而人要認識永生之道唯有透過聖靈的啟示,若沒有聖靈的引導,人心是罪惡綑綁,是被不信的惡心所充滿,是無法真心信靠主耶穌的,也因為這樣賣主耶穌的猶大也混在使徒中間,其實是不信的!
教會也是這樣,不是混在基督徒中間多年就是基督徒。其實有很多在教會中混的人,一點也沒有得著聖靈的啟示,心中仍然是充滿不信的惡心。表現上好像是基督徒,有善行與善言,卻不信主耶穌是上帝的兒子,也不將榮耀歸給上帝,只想得人的認同與稱讚,這等人是多麼可憐啊!
