John 6:32-40

32Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you this: It was not Moses who gave bread to you from heaven. No. It is my Father who gives to you the true bread from heaven.

33God's bread is the one who comes down from heaven. He is the one who gives life to people in the world.’

34So they said to him, ‘Sir, please give this bread to us now and always.’

35Then Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread that gives life to people. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty.

36You have seen me, but still you do not believe in me. I have told you that before.

37Everyone that the Father gives to me will come to me. When anyone comes to me, I will never send that person away.

38I have not come down from heaven to do what I myself choose to do. No, my Father has sent me. I have come to do what he wants me to do.

39He has sent me. He does not want me to lose any of the people that he has given to me. Not even one of them. He wants me to raise all of them up to life on the last day.

40These are the people who will have life for ever with God: everyone who sees the Son and believes in him. I will raise them all up on the last day. That is what my Father wants.’
