John 6:29-46

²⁹Jesus replied and said to them, “This is the work of God: That you believe in the one whom he has sent.”

³⁰So they said to him, “What sign then will you do, so that we may see and believe you? What will you do?

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'”

³²Then Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.

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

³⁴So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

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

³⁷Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will certainly not throw 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 him who sent me, that I would lose not one of all those whom he has given me, but will raise them up on the last day.

⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him would have eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day.”

⁴¹Then the Jews grumbled about him because he had said, “I am the bread that has come down from heaven.”

⁴²They said, “Is not this Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?”

⁴³Jesus replied and said to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves.

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

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' 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.
