John 6:31–51

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.’ ⁴¹The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, ‘I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;’ ⁴²and they said, ‘Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one—Out of the heaven I have come down?’ ⁴³Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, ‘Murmur not one with another; ⁴⁴no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; ⁴⁵it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me; ⁴⁶not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷‘Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; ⁴⁸I am the bread of the life; ⁴⁹your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; ⁵⁰this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹‘I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.’
