John 6:41–59
41 aTherefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that bcame down out of heaven.”
42 They 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 out of heaven’?”
43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble 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 of 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 out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and bnot die.
51 “aI am the living bread that bcame down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, che will live forever; and the bread also which I will give dfor the life of the world is eMy flesh.”
52 aThen the Jews bbegan to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of athe Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will araise him up on the last day.
55 “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
56 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood aabides in Me, and I in him.
57 “As the aliving Father bsent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
58 “This is the bread which acame down out of heaven; not as bthe fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread cwill live forever.”
59 These things He said ain the synagogue as He taught bin Capernaum.
