The words that I have spoken to you are ^espirit and ^flife. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For ^gJesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me ^hunless it is granted him by the Father.”
