60. Therefore, after hearing these words, many of His disciples said, “This is a hard saying. Who is able to hear it?” 61. But Jesus, knowing that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Does this offend you? 62. What if you shall see the Son of man ascending up where He was before? 63. It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. 64. But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were the ones that did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65. And He said, “For this reason, I have said to you, no one can come to Me unless it has been given to him from My Father.” 66. From that time, many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him. 67. Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Are you also desiring to go away?” 68. Then Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; 69. And we have believed and have known that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 70. Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71. Now He spoke of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son; for he was about to betray Him, being one of the twelve.

60. 聽到耶穌說的話,門徒就議論起來:這道理甚難,誰能聽得明白呢?”
61. 耶穌明白門徒為何議論,就欣然去問:這話惹你們反感?
62. 你們若能從人子的出生地,比對今日的我,
63. 便可發現,是靈賦予人生命。看我的肉體沒有增添什麼,而對你們說的話,話當中是一種精神,這精神是永恆生命所依。
64. 這些人當中有不信的人,這些人耶穌從起初就知道,誰會不信,誰會背叛。
65. 因此耶穌這樣回應:就是這個緣由,我對你們說,無人會到我面前,除了父容許他來。”
66. 為此,門徒當中多有離去,不與耶穌同行。
67. 此時,耶穌面對十二門徒說:你們也想離去嗎?”
68. 西門彼得立馬回應:主啊,你有永恆生命之道,還去跟隨誰?
69. 我們都信了,又明確你是基督,是永生神的兒子。 」
70. 耶穌笑笑地回說:我不就是有你們這十二個門徒,只是當中有個惡鬼。
71. 耶穌指的是西門的兒子加略人猶大,是十二門徒當中要賣耶穌那位。
這段描述不是耶穌說,是約翰對事件用自己所見,耶穌對當時聚會的人,他們之間的對話覆述。這是個客觀的旁述。
這記述當中有一個很重要的觀念:人之所以能改變,是人自己的靈因為相信神而改變。如何能相信神?看見耶穌。
耶穌當時是以肉身這形式存在,在63節說明一事,當時的人都認識耶穌,有種一同長大的意味,就是大家都認識對方,知根知底都是人一個。什麼讓耶穌顯得特別?耶穌自己說出這特別的地方:心靈中與神感應。因此在這節解釋箇中緣由:對你們說的話,話當中是一種精神,這精神是永恆生命所依。
耶穌這話是說人有智慧之言,那是這人與神那裡獲得,不是耶穌說的,是神親自明明的與這人相交而得。是神還他,引他,領他到耶穌那裡,是與當時的耶穌同工,一起傳神的福音。這就是65節當中的意義。
似乎這段,是描述一個人如何由相信到願意[以身相許]像婚姻結的緣份相似,不離不棄,以生命之道,像耶穌一樣展現在自己有生之年之內。
當中有個惡鬼在12門徒當中,這就很有意思,也可以解釋教會的現實,從那時一直到如今。(v.71)。
