John 6:35-48

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.

36But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.

37Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.

38For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

39Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.

40For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

41Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

42and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43Jesus replied, “Do not complain about me to one another.

44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.

46(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he has seen the Father.)

47I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.

48I am the bread of life.
