John 6:67
Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
Jesus said the above following a somewhat difficult teaching for understanding as well as following. Jesus was teaching that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to get eternal life. He is the ultimate manna that was provided by God to the people. For various reasons, various people cannot accept this or were offended by the sayings.
At this point many of those who were disciples (not the twelve), chose to turn away and Jesus understood this. This is where the true believers were differentiated. Jesus also explained that it is God who gave people understanding and faith to follow Him, and not because people chose based on their own understanding. So Jesus said the above question to his twelve inner disciples, and Peter moved by God, declared that Jesus is the Son of the living God.
