John 6:31–51

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. ³²Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. ³³For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. ³⁴They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread. ³⁵And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time. ³⁶But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe. ³⁷All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out. ³⁸For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do my will, but the will of him that has sent me. ³⁹And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day. ⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven. ⁴²And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven? ⁴³Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me; ⁴⁶not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father. ⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me has life eternal. ⁴⁸I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. ⁵⁰This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
