John 6:31–51
6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
6:32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
6:34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
6:36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
6:37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
6:40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
6:41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
6:42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”
6:43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur amongst yourselves.
6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learnt, comes to me.
6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
6:47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
6:48 I am the bread of life.
6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
6:50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
