John 6:25–40

²⁵and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?’ ²⁶Jesus answered them and said, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; ²⁷work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal—even God.’

²⁸They said therefore unto him, ‘What may we do that we may work the works of God?’ ²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.’ ³⁰They said therefore to him, ‘What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work? ³¹our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.’ ³²Jesus, therefore, said to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; ³³for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.’ ³⁴They said, therefore, unto him, ‘Sir, always give us this bread.’ ³⁵And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst—at any time; ³⁶but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not; ³⁷all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, ³⁸because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹‘And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; ⁴⁰and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.’
