John 6:26-59

26JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, you 1seekG2212 Me, not becauseG3754 you sawG3708 2signsG4592, but becauseG3754 you ateG2068 of the loavesG740 and were filledG5526. 27Do not 3workG2038 for the foodG1035 which perishesG622, but for the foodG1035 which enduresG3306 to 4eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 5the SonG5207 of ManG444 will giveG1325 to you, for on Him the FatherG3962, GodG2316, 6has setG4972 His sealG4972.” 28ThereforeG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 shall we doG4160, soG3767 that we may workG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is 7the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 8has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “9WhatG5101 thenG3767 do You doG4160 for a 10signG4592, soG3767 that we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 do You performG2038? 3111Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125, ‘12He gaveG1325 them breadG740 out of heavenG3772 to eatG2068.’” 32JesusG2424 thenG3767 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, it is not MosesG3475 who has givenG1325 you the breadG740 out of heavenG3772, but it is My FatherG3962 who givesG1325 you the trueG228 breadG740 out of heavenG3772. 33For the breadG740 of GodG2316 is 13that which 14comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 15giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”

35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “16I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; he who comesG2064 to Me will not hungerG3983, and he who believesG4100 in Me 17will neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372. 36But 18I saidG3004 to you that you have seenG3708 Me, and yet do not believeG4100. 3719AllG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I will certainlyG3756G3361 not castG1544 out. 38For 20I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 21not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 22the willG2307 of Him who 23sentG3992 Me. 39ThisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 24allG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I 25loseG622 nothingG3361, but 26raiseG450 it up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 27beholdsG2334 the SonG5207 and 28believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 29raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”

4130ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 31cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “32Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 33we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘34I have comeG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772’?” 43JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “Do not grumbleG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 35drawsG1670 him; and I will 36raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 37in the prophetsG4396, ‘38And they shall allG3956 be 39taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4640Not that anyoneG5100 has seenG3708 the FatherG3962, exceptG1508 the One who is from GodG2316; He has seenG3708 the FatherG3962. 47TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, he who believesG4100 41hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4842I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4943Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 44comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 45not dieG599. 5146I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 47cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 48he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 49for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 50My fleshG4561.”

5251ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 52began to argueG3164 with oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, “HowG4459 canG1410 thisG3778 manG3778 giveG1325 us His fleshG4561 to eatG2068?” 53SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you eatG2068 the fleshG4561 of 53the SonG5207 of ManG444 and drinkG4095 His bloodG129, you haveG2192 noG3756 lifeG2222 in yourselvesG1438. 54He who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 54raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 55For My fleshG4561 is trueG227 foodG1035, and My bloodG129 is trueG227 drinkG4213. 56He who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 55abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 56livingG2198 FatherG3962 57sentG649 Me, and I liveG2198 becauseG1223 of the FatherG3962, soG2532 he who eatsG5176 Me, he alsoG2548 will liveG2198 becauseG1223 of Me. 58ThisG3778 is the breadG740 whichG3588 58cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 59the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 60will liveG2198 foreverG165.” 59TheseG3778 thingsG3778 He saidG3004 61in the synagogueG4864 as He taughtG1321 62in CapernaumG2746.
