On hearing it, many of his disciples said,“ This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

When many of his disciples heard it, they said,“ This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”

Many of his disciples said,“ This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”

Therefore, when many of his disciples heard this, they said,“ This teaching is hard. Who can accept it?”

So then many of His disciples, when they heard this, said,“ This statement is very unpleasant; who can listen to it?”

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said,“ This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”

Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

Therefore, when many of His disciples heard this, they said,“ This teaching is hard! Who can accept it?”

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard[ this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said,“ This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?”

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said,“ This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”

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

Why aren’t my words clear to you? Because you can’t really hear what I say.

Blessed is anyone who does not give up their faith because of me.”

Paul writes the same way in all his letters. He speaks about what I have just told you. His letters include some things that are hard to understand. People who don’t know better and aren’t firm in the faith twist what he says. They twist the other Scriptures too. So they will be destroyed.

Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him.“ If you obey my teaching,” he said,“ you are really my disciples.

Then the Jews there began to complain about Jesus. That was because he said,“ I am the bread that came down from heaven.”They said,“ Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Don’t we know his father and mother? How can he now say,‘ I came down from heaven’?”

We have a lot to say about this. But it is hard to make it clear to you. That’s because you are no longer trying to understand.
