John 6:44-54

44People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them to me. I will bring these people back to life on the last day.

45The prophets wrote, ‘God will teach everyone.’ Those who do what they have learned from the Father come to me.

46I’m saying that no one has seen the Father. Only the one who is from God has seen the Father.

47I can guarantee this truth: Every believer has eternal life.

48“I am the bread of life.

49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert and died.

50This is the bread that comes from heaven so that whoever eats it won’t die.

51I am the living bread that came from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. The bread I will give to bring life to the world is my flesh.”

52The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53Jesus told them, “I can guarantee this truth: If you don’t eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have the source of life in you.

54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day.
