John 6:26-58

26JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, you 1seekG2212 Me, not becauseG3754 you sawG3708 23signsG4592, but becauseG3754 you ateG2068 someG1537 ofG1537 the loavesG740 and were filledG5526. 27Do not 4workG2038 for the foodG1035 that perishesG622, but for the foodG1035 that lastsG3306 for 5eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 6the SonG5207 of ManG444 will giveG1325 you, for onG4972 Him the FatherG3962, GodG2316, 7has setG4972 His 8sealG4972.” 28ThereforeG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 are we to doG4160, soG2443 thatG2443 we may accomplishG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is 9the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 10has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “11WhatG5101 thenG3767 are You doingG4160 as a 12signG4592, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 are You performingG2038? 3113Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125: ‘14He 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 15that which 16comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 17giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”

35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “18I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; the one who comesG2064 to Me will not beG3983 hungryG3983, and the one who believesG4100 in Me 19will neverG3756G3361 beG1372 thirstyG1372. 36But 20I saidG3004 to you that you have indeedG2532 seenG3708 Me, and yet you do not believeG4100. 3721EverythingG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I certainlyG3756G3361 will not castG1544 outG1544. 38For 22I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 23not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 24the willG2307 of Him who 25sentG3992 Me. 39And thisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 26everythingG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I will 27loseG622 nothingG3361, but will 28raiseG450 it upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 29seesG2334 the SonG5207 and 30believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 31raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”

4132SoG3767 thenG3767 the JewsG2453 were complainingG1111 aboutG4012 Him becauseG3754 He saidG3004, “I amG1510 the breadG740 that 33cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772.” 42And they were sayingG3004, “34Is thisG3778 not JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 and motherG3384 35we knowG3609? HowG4459 does He nowG3568 sayG3004, ‘36I have comeG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772’?” 43JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “StopG3361 complainingG1111 amongG3326 yourselvesG240. 44NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 to Me unlessG1437G3361 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me 37drawsG1670 him; and I will 38raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 45It is writtenG1125 39in the ProphetsG4396: ‘40And they shall allG3956 be 41taughtG1318 of GodG2316.’ EveryoneG3956 who has heardG191 and learnedG3129 from the FatherG3962, comesG2064 to Me. 4642Not that anyoneG5100 has seenG3708 the FatherG3962, exceptG1508 the One who is from GodG2316; He has seenG3708 the FatherG3962. 47TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, the one who believesG4100 43hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 4844I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222. 4945Your fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048, and they diedG599. 50ThisG3778 is the breadG740 that 46comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, soG2443 thatG2443 anyoneG5100 may eatG2068 from it and 47not dieG599. 5148I amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 that 49cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 eatsG2068 from thisG3778 breadG740, 50he will liveG2198 foreverG165; and the breadG740 whichG3739 I will giveG1325 51for the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889 alsoG2532 is 52My fleshG4561.”

5253ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 54began 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 55the SonG5207 of ManG444 and drinkG4095 His bloodG129, you haveG2192 noG3756 lifeG2222 in yourselvesG1438. 54The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I will 56raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 55For My fleshG4561 is trueG227 foodG1035, and My bloodG129 is trueG227 drinkG4213. 56The one who eatsG5176 My fleshG4561 and drinksG4095 My bloodG129 57remainsG3306 in Me, and I in him. 57JustG2531 asG2531 the 58livingG2198 FatherG3962 59sentG649 Me, and I liveG2198 becauseG1223 of the FatherG3962, the one who eatsG5176 Me, he alsoG2548 will liveG2198 becauseG1223 of Me. 58ThisG3778 is the breadG740 that 60cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, not as 61the fathersG3962 ateG2068 and diedG599; the one who eatsG5176 thisG3778 breadG740 62will liveG2198 foreverG165.”
