John 6:33-63

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; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me 5will never be thirsty. 36But 6I said to you that you have indeed seen Me, and yet you do not believe. 37 7Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. 38For 8I have come down from heaven, 9not to do My own will, but 10the will of Him who 11sent Me. 39And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of 12everything that He has given Me I will 13lose nothing, but will 14raise it up on the last day. 40For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who 15sees the Son and 16believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will 17raise him up on the last day.”

41 18So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that 19came down out of heaven.” 42And they were saying, “20Is this not 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, “Stop complaining 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. 46 28Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes 29has eternal life. 48 30I am the bread of life. 49 31Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread that 32comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and 33not die. 51 34I am the living bread that 35came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, 36he will live forever; and the bread which I will give 37for the life of the world also is 38My flesh.”

52 39Then 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. 54The one 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. 56The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood 43remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the 44living Father 45sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that 46came down out of heaven, not as 47the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread 48will live forever.” 59These things He said 49in the synagogue as He taught 50in Capernaum.

60So then many of His 51disciples, when they heard this, said, “52This statement is very 53unpleasant; who can listen to it?” 61But Jesus, 54aware that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Is this 55 56offensive to you? 62What then if you see 57the Son of Man 58ascending to where He was before? 63 59It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; 60the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.
