35 “I amae the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to meaf will ever be hungry,ag and no one who believes in meah will ever be thirstyai again. 36 But as I told you, you’ve seen me,H and yet you do not believe. 37 Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out.aj 38 For I have come down from heaven,ak not to do my own will, but the will of himal who sent me. 39 This is the will of him who sent me: that I should lose none of those he has given me but should raiseam them up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father:an that everyone who sees the Sonao and believes in him will have eternal life, and I will raiseap him up on the last day.”

41 Therefore the Jews started grumbling about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph,aq whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43 Jesus answered them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me drawsA him, and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets:a And they will all be taught by God.B,b Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Fatherc comes to me—46 not that anyone has seen the Fatherd except the one who is from God.e He has seen the Father.f

47 “Truly I tell you, anyone who believesC has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the mannag in the wilderness,h and they died.
