John 6:25–40

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^h“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁱyou are seeking me, not because you saw ^jsigns, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ^27kDo not work for the food that perishes, but for ^lthe food that endures to eternal life, which ^mthe Son of Man will give to you. For on ⁿhim God the Father has ^oset his seal.” ²⁸Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^pthe works of God?” ²⁹Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^qthat you believe in him whom ^rhe has sent.” ³⁰So they said to him, ^s“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ^31tOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^u‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” ³²Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³For the bread of God is ^vhe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴They said to him, ^w“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵Jesus said to them, ^x“I am the bread of life; ^ywhoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ³⁶But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. ^37zAll that ^athe Father gives me will come to me, and ^bwhoever comes to me I will never cast out. ³⁸For ^cI have come down from heaven, not to do ^dmy own will but ^dthe will of him ^ewho sent me. ³⁹And ^fthis is the will of him who sent me, ^gthat I should lose nothing of ^hall that he has given me, but ⁱraise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^jlooks on the Son and ^kbelieves in him ^lshould have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
