John 6:52
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

ἔλεγον οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος Οὐκ ἔστιν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι τὸ σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ ἄλλοι ἔλεγον Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν καὶ σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Σχίσμα οὖν πάλιν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις διὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Ἐγόγγυζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ καταβὰς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
ψυχικὸς δὲ ἄνθρωπος οὐ δέχεται τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ θεοῦ μωρία γὰρ αὐτῷ ἐστιν καὶ οὐ δύναται γνῶναι ὅτι πνευματικῶς ἀνακρίνεται·
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν οἱ μὲν ἐχλεύαζον οἱ δὲ εἶπον Ἀκουσόμεθά σου πάλιν περὶ τούτου
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή Κύριε οὔτε ἄντλημα ἔχεις καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶν βαθύ· πόθεν οὖν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Νικόδημος Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι γέρων ὤν μὴ δύναται εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ δεύτερον εἰσελθεῖν καὶ γεννηθῆναι
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
ἀπεκρίθη Νικόδημος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πῶς δύναται ταῦτα γενέσθαι
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
πολλοὶ οὖν Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἔλεγον Οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης·
Many of the this people therefore, when they heard saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
