John 6:32-55

³²Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

³³For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

³⁴They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.

³⁵And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.

³⁶But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.

³⁷All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.

³⁸Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.

⁴⁰And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

⁴²And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?

⁴³Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.

⁴⁶Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.

⁵⁰This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.

⁵¹I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

⁵²If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

⁵³The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵⁴Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

⁵⁵He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
