24th Strategy.
Jesus Speaks.

• Pray for God to open your heart to hear a new word from Him today.
• Read the entire passage.
• Re-read only the words that are written in red. These words signify words that were said by Jesus Christ, himself. Aloud. In this world. Granted the entire Bible are His Words. He, through His Spirit has spoken them. But, these are just a bit different.
• As you re-read the words spoken by Jesus imagine He is speaking and you are there.
• Then read the passage surrounding those words.
• Ask God to show you what He wants you to see.
• Now re-read the entire passage one more time.
• Don't forget to thank Him for being with you.
• Don't forget to thank Him for answering.

(A reminder: The topic Jesus was discussing right before this was His flesh being the bread and His blood being the wine and whoever partook of them would have eternal life.)
59. He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
____________________________________________
60. Many of his disciples said, "This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?"

61. Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them "Does this offend you?
62. Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?
63. The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64. But some of you do not believe me." (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn't believe, and he knew who would betray him.)
65. Then he said, "That is why I said that people can't come to me unless the Father gives them to me."

66. At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.
67. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "Are you also going to leave?"

68. Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.
69. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God."

70. Then Jesus said, "I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil."
71. He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him.
