John 6:63-68 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

63. The Holy Spirit gives life. The body means nothing at all. The words I have spoken to you are from the Spirit. They give life.

64. But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe. And he had known who was going to hand him over to his enemies.

65. So he continued speaking. He said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father helps him."

66. From this time on, many of his disciples turned back. They no longer followed him.

67. "You don't want to leave also, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.

68. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, who can we go to? You have the words of eternal life.
