34“Master,” they exclaimed, “give us that bread always!”
35“I am the life-giving bread,” Jesus said to them; “whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst again.
36But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
38For I have come down from heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
39and his will is this — that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last day.
40For it is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have immortal life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last day.”
41The people began murmuring against Jesus for saying — ‘I am the bread which came down from heaven.’
42“Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son,” they asked, “whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from heaven?”
43“Do not murmur amongst yourselves,” said Jesus in reply.
44“No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last day.
45It is said in the prophets — ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is from God — he has seen the Father.
47In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me has eternal life.
48I am the life-giving bread.
49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.
50The bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.
51I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
52They began disputing with one another, “How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?”
53“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not life within you.
54Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise them up at the Last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink.
56Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to them.
57As the living Father sent me as his messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so the person who takes me for their food will live because I live.
58That is the bread which has come down from heaven — not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; the person who takes this bread for their food will live for ever.”
59All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.
60On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”
61But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them,
62“Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
63It is the Spirit that gives life; human strength achieves nothing. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is life.
64Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me.” For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him;
65and he added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.”
66After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
67So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to leave me?”
