Many Disciples Desert Jesus

⁶¹ When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended? ⁶² Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? ⁶³ The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
