John 6:25–40

²⁵When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “^aRabbi, when did You get here?”

Words to the People

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you ^aseek Me, not because you saw ^bsigns, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

²⁷“Do not ^awork for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to ^beternal life, which ^cthe Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, ^dhas set His seal.”

²⁸Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?”

²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, “This is ^athe work of God, that you believe in Him whom He ^bhas sent.”

³⁰So they said to Him, “^aWhat then do You do for a ^bsign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?

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

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

³³“For the bread of God is ¹that which ^acomes down out of 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 not 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 certainly not 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“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 ^abeholds the Son and ^bbelieves in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will ^craise him up on the last day.”
