John 6:41-58

41 1ThereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 were grumblingG1111 aboutG4012 Him, becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 2cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42They were sayingG3004, “3Is not thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 4we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘5I have comeG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772’?” 43JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “Do not grumbleG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437 G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 6drawsG1670 him; and I will 7raiseG450 him up on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 8in the prophetsG4396, ‘9And they shall allG3956 be 10taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 46 11Not 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 12hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 48 13I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 49 14Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 which 15comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 that oneG5100 may eatG2068 of it and 16not dieG599. 51 17I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 18cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 of thisG3778 breadG740, 19he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 alsoG2532 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 20for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 is 21My fleshG4561.”

52 22ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 23began 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, unlessG1437 G3361 you eatG2068 the fleshG4561 of 24the 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 25raiseG450 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 26abidesG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57As the 27livingG2198 FatherG3962 28sentG649 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 29cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; not as 30the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; he who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 31will liveG2198 foreverG165.”
