John 6:22-58 - Discourse About The Bread Of Life
22 On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was not, another small-boat, there, save one, - and that Jesus entered not, along with his disciples, unto the boat, but that, alone, his disciples departed: - 23 howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had given thanks: - 24 When, therefore, the multitude saw, that, Jesus, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus;
25 and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him - Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
26 Jesus answered them, and said - Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled. 27 Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, - which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal.
28 They said, therefore, unto him - What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?
29 Jesus answered, and said unto them - This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.
30 They said, therefore, unto him - What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working? 31 Our fathers, did eat, the manna, in the desert, - just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them to eat.
32 Jesus said unto them - Verily, verily, I say unto you: Not Moses, gave you the bread out of heaven; but, my Father, giveth you the real bread out of heaven. 33 For, the bread of God, is that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world.
34 They said, therefore, unto him - Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
35 Jesus said unto them - I, am the bread of life: he that cometh unto me, in nowise shall hunger, and, he that believeth on me, in nowise shall thirst, any more. 36 But I told you - Ye have even seen me, and yet do not believe. 37 All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, - 38 Because I have come down from heaven, - Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And, this, is the will of him that sent me, That, of all that which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 For, this, is the will of my Father, That, every one that vieweth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life age-abiding, and, I, should raise him up, at the last day.
41 The Jews, therefore, began to murmur concerning him, because he said - I, am the bread that came down out of heaven; 42 and were saying - Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, - of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?
43 Jesus answered, and said unto them - Be not murmuring, one with another: 44 No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, draw him, - and, I, will raise him up, in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, - And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God, - this one, hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age-abiding. 48 I am the bread of life: - 49 Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, - and died: 50 This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, - and not die. 51 I, am the living bread, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age-abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh - for the world's life.
52 The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying - How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus, therefore, said unto them - Verily, verily, I say unto you - Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have not life within yourselves. 54 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age-abiding, and, I, will raise him up at the last day; 55 For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink: 56 He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, - and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason of me. 58 This, is the bread, which, out of heaven, came down: - Not just as your fathers did eat - and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age-abiding.
