John 6:31–51

³¹“^aOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘^bHe gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

³²Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

³³“For the bread of God is ¹that which ^acomes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

³⁴Then they said to Him, “Lord, always ^agive us this bread.”

³⁵Jesus said to them, “^aI am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never hunger, and he who believes in Me ^bwill never thirst.

³⁶“But ^aI said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.

³⁷“^aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.

³⁸“For ^aI have come down from heaven, ^bnot to do My own will, but ^cthe will of Him who ^dsent Me.

³⁹“Now this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of ^aall that He has given Me I ^blose nothing, but ^craise it up on the last day.

⁴⁰“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who ^asees the Son and ^bbelieves in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will ^craise him up on the last day.”

Words to the Jews

^41aTherefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that ^bcame down from heaven.”

⁴²They were saying, “^aIs not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^bwe know? How does He now say, ‘^cI have come down from heaven’?”

⁴³Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves.

⁴⁴“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^adraws him; and I will ^braise him up on the last day.

⁴⁵“It is written ^ain the prophets, ‘^bAnd they shall all be ^ctaught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

⁴⁶“^aNot that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

⁴⁷“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes ^ahas eternal life.

⁴⁸“^aI am the bread of life.

⁴⁹“^aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰“This is the bread which ^acomes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and ^bnot die.

⁵¹“^aI am the living bread that ^bcame down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, ^che will live forever; and also the bread which I will give ^dfor the life of the world is ^eMy flesh.”
