²⁶Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. ^27pDo not labor for the food which perishes, but ^qfor the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, ^rbecause God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

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

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

³⁰Therefore they said to Him, ^t“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? ^31uOur fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ^v‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

³²Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but ^wMy Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

^34xThen they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

³⁵And Jesus said to them, ^y“I am the bread of life. ^zHe who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never ^athirst.
