John 6:67
65 Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
66 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
