(Lesson 4506)(06-04-24) John 6:66-71
“From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.”
In today’s quote, many who had previously followed Jesus turned away from Him because they found His teachings difficult to accept. Jesus then asked the twelve apostles if they too wished to leave. Peter responded, affirming their belief in Jesus as the Holy One of God who has the words of eternal life. Jesus acknowledged their faith but noted that one among them, Judas Iscariot, would betray Him, foretelling Judas' future betrayal.~
