John 6:28-51
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 1the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 2has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “3WhatG5101 thenG3767 do You doG4160 for a 4signG4592, soG3767 that we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 do You performG2038? 315Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125, ‘6He 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 7that which 8comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 9giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”
35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “10I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; he who comesG2064 to Me will not hungerG3983, and he who believesG4100 in Me 11will neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372. 36But 12I saidG3004 to you that you have seenG3708 Me, and yet do not believeG4100. 3713AllG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I will certainlyG3756G3361 not castG1544 out. 38For 14I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 15not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 16the willG2307 of Him who 17sentG3992 Me. 39ThisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 18allG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I 19loseG622 nothingG3361, but 20raiseG450 it up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 21beholdsG2334 the SonG5207 and 22believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 23raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”
4124ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 25cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “26Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 27we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘28I 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 29drawsG1670 him; and I will 30raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 31in the prophetsG4396, ‘32And they shall allG3956 be 33taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4634Not 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 35hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4836I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4937Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 38comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 39not dieG599. 5140I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 41cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 42he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 43for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 44My fleshG4561.”
