The provided text from the Gospel of John, chapter 6, in the New International Version (NIV) Bible recounts several key events in Jesus' ministry. It begins with the miraculous feeding of five thousand people near the Sea of Galilee, followed by Jesus walking on water to meet his disciples in a boat. Subsequently, Jesus teaches the crowd that he is the "bread of life," contrasting earthly food with the eternal sustenance he offers through belief in him. This discourse leads to disagreement and the departure of many disciples, while Peter affirms Jesus as the source of eternal life.
