John 6:36-54

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.

⁴⁷Truly, truly, he who believes has eternal life.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰This is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat some of it and not die.

⁵¹I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats some of this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

⁵²The Jews became angry among themselves and began to argue, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

⁵³Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.

⁵⁴Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
