Wrong. HE knew what was in them and they had NO KNOWLEDGE of who HE was for they were worldly and they had NO DESIRE to learn either. They were UNTEACHABLE! Jesus didn't force anyone to stay as HIS teachings were sufficient and those who were drawn to Him/TRUTH stayed. Those who were drawn to evil, left HIM.
Anyone who defends the indefensible is not seeking after JESUS! No one can't serve two masters.
God's WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY and He will turn away from those on judgement day, also, who don't understand that because they 'chose' not to KNOW HIM. God made HIMSELF KNOWABLE through HIS Holy Spirit inspired WORD ALONE. They 'chose' to listen and obey 'another' - the 'deceiver' so they have no one to blame but themselves.
JESUS is The Way, The Truth, The LIFE eternal. Jesus is THE WORD and those who do NOT have HIS WORD as their FINAL authority have No TRUTH and NO ETERNAL LIFE. The price of listening to 'another' is for eternity - the deceiver who takes his LIE and wraps it in a bit of truth is 'food' for the children of the dark. They ate it on their own accord as they REMAINED unteachable to the things of God but bowed to 'man and it's deceptive teachings.

Not to catholics. They believe that a sinner was the mother of God, and so they just go to his mommy if they don’t like what his word says.
Nice try but Scripture actually says this regarding those who left.....
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Believed not. Not had no knowledge or who were worldly or who had no desire to learn or were unteachable. Those who BELIEVED NOT. What did they disbelieve?
This is a hard saying. Is this shocking to you?
Yes to some, but to those of us who believe Jesus is God, they are not impossible and are indeed the Words of Eternal Life.
Jesus does not force anyone to stay, but nor does He deceive or lay traps to test His believers. This teaching was not necessary save for one reason. Jesus meant what He said, that His body is true food and His blood true drink.
