This is probably THE most significant scripture to those first waking up to the fact they have been in a high control religious group (a.k.a. a cult).
It isn't WHERE will we go but to WHOM?!

6:68 Simon Peter Compare Peter’s confession in Matt 16:16. The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) depict Peter in the role of spokesman for the Twelve (see Matt 14:28). His prominence in the Synoptics and their account of the formation of the Twelve seem to be assumed here. Peter is only mentioned previously in John 1:40–44 where he is called as a disciple and renamed.

6:67–68 To whom will we go? may refer to transferring allegiance to another rabbi (cp. 1:35–37).
6:69 Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Holy One of God anticipates later references to Jesus being set apart for God (10:36; 17:19). In the OT, God was called the “Holy One of Israel” (Ps 71:22; Is 43:3; 54:5). See similar confessions of Jesus in Mt 16:16; Mk 8:29; Lk 9:20.

Peter said, ‘We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.’ The words ‘believe’ and ‘know’ here are virtual synonyms, and together they provide emphasis. These two verbs are brought together again in synonymous parallelism in 17:8, where Jesus, in his prayer to the Father, said of his disciples, ‘They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.’ In 6:69, then, the Twelve are making a strong confession of faith similar in its significance to the confessions of Martha (11:27) and Thomas (20:28), and as such it contributes to the overall purpose of the Fourth Gospel: to encourage readers also to believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (20:31).
