John 6:33-58

33 For the bread of God is ^ahe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, ^b“Sir, give us this bread always.”

35 Jesus said to them, ^c“I am the bread of life; ^dwhoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 ^eAll that ^fthe Father gives me will come to me, and ^gwhoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For ^hI have come down from heaven, not to do ⁱmy own will but ^jthe will of him ^kwho sent me. 39 And ^lthis is the will of him who sent me, ^mthat I should lose nothing of ⁿall that he has given me, but ^oraise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^plooks on the Son and ^qbelieves in him ^rshould have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, ^s“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, ^t“Is not this Jesus, ^uthe son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^vwe know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me ^wdraws him. And ^xI will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ^y‘And they will all be ^ztaught by God.’ ^aaEveryone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 ^abnot that anyone has seen the Father except ^ache who is from God; he ^adhas seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^aewhoever believes has eternal life. 48 ^afI am the bread of life. 49 ^agYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^ahthey died. 50 ^aiThis is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^ajand not die. 51 I am the living bread ^akthat came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^alfor the life of the world is ^ammy flesh.”

52 The Jews then ^andisputed among themselves, saying, ^ao“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 ^apthe Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^aqhave no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^arhas eternal life, and ^asI will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^atabides in me, and I in him. 57 As ^authe living Father ^avsent me, and ^awI live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 ^axThis is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread ^{▼▼Greek lacks the bread} the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
