John 6:31-49

31Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

32Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

35And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

36But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

37All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

39This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

40And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

41The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”

42And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.

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 shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

47Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

48I am the bread of life.

49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
