SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:67
Dijo entonces Jesús a los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 6:67
Verse 67. Will ye also go alway?] Or, Do YE also desire, &c. These words are very emphatical. Will YOU abandon me?-you, whom I have distinguished with innumerable marks of my affection-you, whom I have chosen out of the world to be my companions,-you, to whom I have revealed the secrets of the eternal world-you, who have been witnesses of all my miracles-you, whom I intend to seat with me on my throne in glory; will YOU go away? Reader, in what state art thou? Hast thou gone back from Christ, or art thou going back? Wilt thou go? Thou, whom he has redeemed by his blood-thou, whom he has upheld by his power, and fed by his providence-thou, into whose wounded soul he has poured the balm of pardoning mercy- thou, whom he has adopted into the heavenly family-thou, whom he has comforted in so many tribulations and adversities- thou, whose multiplied offenses he has freely and fully pardoned; wilt thou go away?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve , etc.] “To his own twelve”, as the Persic version reads; that is, to his twelve apostles, whom he had chosen to that office: Christ takes no notice of those that went away from him, he showed no concern about them; he knew what they were, that the truth of grace was not in them, and that they did not belong to him, and therefore was not uneasy about their departure; but turns himself to his apostles, whom he dearly loved, and in a very tender manner thus said to them, will ye also go away ? this he said, not as ignorant of what they were, or of what they would do in this case; he knew full well their faith in him, their love to him, and esteem of him, and close attachment to him, at least in eleven of then; nor did he say this, as having any fears or jealousies concerning them, by observing any thing in their countenances or gestures, which looked like a departure from him; but it was said out of a tender regard and strong affection for them: and it is as if he should have said, as for these men that have walked with me for some time, and have now turned their backs upon me, it gives me no concern; but should you, my dear friends and companions, go also, it would give me, as man, real pain and great uneasiness: or he might say this to show, that as they were not pressed into his service, but willingly followed him, and became his disciples, being made a willing people by him, in the day of his power on them; so they willingly continued with him, and abode by him; as also to strengthen their faith in him, and cause them the more to cleave to him, with full purpose of heart, when others left him; as well as to draw out from them expressions of their regard for him, and faith in him, which end was answered.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 66-71 - When we admit into our minds hard thoughts of the words and works of Jesus, we enter into temptation, which, if the Lord in mercy preven not, will end in drawing back. The corrupt and wicked heart of ma often makes that an occasion for offence, which is matter of the greatest comfort. Our Lord had, in the foregoing discourse, promise eternal life to his followers; the disciples fastened on that plai saying, and resolved to cleave to him, when others fastened on har sayings, and forsook him. Christ's doctrine is the word of eterna life, therefore we must live and die by it. If we forsake Christ, we forsake our own mercies. They believed that this Jesus was the Messia promised to their fathers, the Son of the living God. When we ar tempted to backslide or turn away, it is good to remember firs principles, and to keep to them. And let us ever remember our Lord' searching question; Shall we go away and forsake our Redeemer? To who can we go? He alone can give salvation by the forgiveness of sins. An this alone brings confidence, comfort, and joy, and bids fear an despondency flee away. It gains the only solid happiness in this world and opens a way to the happiness of the next __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
67. The twelve. John assumes that the number is known. It is implied in the twelve baskets of fragments. As in so many other instances in this Gospel, facts of the synoptic narrative are taken for granted as familiar. Will ye also go away? (mh kai umeiv qelete upagein). The interrogative particle mh shows that a negative answer is expected. Surely ye will not. Will ye go is not the future tense of the verb to go, but is expressed by two words, do ye will (qelete), to go away (upagein). Rev., would ye. On the verb to go away, see on they went (ver. 21).
