John 6:25-59 - Jesus The Bread Of Life
25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did thou become here?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for God the Father put a seal on this man.
28 They said to him therefore, What shall we do that we may work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered, and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in that man whom he has sent.
30 They said to him therefore, What sign do thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What do thou work? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
32 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the TRUE bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.
34 They said to him therefore, Lord, always give us this bread.
35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will, no, not hunger, and he who believes in me will, no, not ever thirst. 36 But also I said to you, that ye have seen me, and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out. 38 Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews therefore murmured about him because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven. 42 And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Therefore how does this man say, I have come down out of heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among each other. 44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they will all be taught of God. Every man who hears from the Father, and having learned, comes to me. 46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God. This man has seen the Father.
47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. 51 I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. 54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age.
59 He said these things in a synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
