[That's when many scornfully turned away from Jesus, and left Him.]
After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.
John 6:66

” [That's when many scornfully turned away from Jesus, and left Him.]
After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.
John 6:66
I gotta say you guys are a mystery to me...
Why did you leave out vs. 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 65??? I posted the exact scripture...In order...Verse 66 does not show up right after verse 58...
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Joh 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Iscool, I see that you have (accidently and inadvertantly, I'm sure) completely skipped these texts in your Biblical extract posted in post #68:
Doesn't matter...The disciples that left rejected ALL of it...Not JUST the eating of the flesh and blood...And the icing on the cake was verse 65...The bible says so...
