John 6:27-59

27Do not 1work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to 2eternal life, which 3the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, 4has set His seal.” 28Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is 5the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He 6has sent.” 30So they said to Him, “7What then do You do for a 8sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform? 319Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘10He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’” 32Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33For the bread of God is 11that which 12comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.” 34Then they said to Him, “Lord, always 13give us this bread.”

35Jesus said to them, “14I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me 15will never thirst. 36But 16I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. 3717All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38For 18I have come down from heaven, 19not to do My own will, but 20the will of Him who 21sent Me. 39This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of 22all that He has given Me I 23lose nothing, but 24raise it up on the last day. 40For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who 25beholds the Son and 26believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will 27raise him up on the last day.”

4128Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that 29came down out of heaven.” 42They were saying, “30Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 31we know? How does He now say, ‘32I have come down out of heaven’?” 43Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me 33draws him; and I will 34raise him up on the last day. 45It is written 35in the prophets, ‘36And they shall all be 37taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 4638Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes 39has eternal life. 4840I am the bread of life. 4941Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread which 42comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and 43not die. 5144I am the living bread that 45came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, 46he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give 47for the life of the world is 48My flesh.”

5249Then the Jews 50began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of 51the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will 52raise him up on the last day. 55For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood 53abides in Me, and I in him. 57As the 54living Father 55sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58This is the bread which 56came down out of heaven; not as 57the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread 58will live forever.” 59These things He said 59in the synagogue as He taught 60in Capernaum.
