John 6:32-58

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 1that which 2comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.” 34Then they said to Him, “Lord, always 3give us this bread.”

35Jesus said to them, “4I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me 5will never thirst. 36But 6I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. 377All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38For 8I have come down from heaven, 9not to do My own will, but 10the will of Him who 11sent Me. 39This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of 12all that He has given Me I 13lose nothing, but 14raise it up on the last day. 40For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who 15beholds the Son and 16believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will 17raise him up on the last day.”

4118Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that 19came down out of heaven.” 42They were saying, “20Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 21we know? How does He now say, ‘22I 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 23draws him; and I will 24raise him up on the last day. 45It is written 25in the prophets, ‘26And they shall all be 27taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 4628Not 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 29has eternal life. 4830I am the bread of life. 4931Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread which 32comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and 33not die. 5134I am the living bread that 35came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, 36he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give 37for the life of the world is 38My flesh.”

5239Then the Jews 40began 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 41the 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 42raise 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 43abides in Me, and I in him. 57As the 44living Father 45sent 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 46came down out of heaven; not as 47the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread 48will live forever.”
