⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

⁴¹Now the Jews began to grumble^* about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” ⁴²and they were saying, “Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” ⁴³Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves!^f ⁴⁴No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’^g Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me. ⁴⁶(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)^h ⁴⁷Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. ⁴⁸I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. ⁵⁰This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.

Read in Logos
