But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he coming to me I will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not that I might do my will, but the will of him having sent me. And this is the will of the Father having sent me, that all which he has given me, I should not loose of it, but raise it up in the last day. And this is the will of him having sent me, that every one seeing the Son, and believing in him, should have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Then murmured the Jews about him, because he said, I am the bread having come down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son, whose father and mother we know? how then says he, That I have come down from heaven? Then answered Jesus and said to them, Murmur not with one another. None can come to me, except the Father having sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one therefore having heard and learned of the Father, comes to me. Not that any one has seen the Father, except he being from God, he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he believing in me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and died. This is the bread which coming down from heaven, that whoever should eat of it, and he should not die.

Then the Jews contended with one another, saying, How can he give us the flesh to eat Then said Jesus to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. He chewing my flesh, and drinking my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. He chewing my flesh, and drinking my blood, remains in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father: also he chewing me, the same also shall live through me.
