John 6:59-60 is > "Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60 On > hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. > Who can accept it?”" The teaching that is difficult (alternately translated as 'hard') refers to what Jesus is saying prior, potentially including everything from John 6:26. According to Catholicism, 'this teaching' is difficult because Jesus is here referring to what becomes known as the doctrine of the 'real presence' - Jesus is substantially present in the bread and wine of Communion. According to Protestants who do not accept something like the Catholic view, why is Jesus' teaching so difficult for the disciples to accept?
