John 6:38-51

³⁸because it is not to do my own will that I have come down out of Heaven, but the will of the One who sent me.

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

⁴⁰Again this is the will of Him who sent me, that everyone who ‘sees’ the Son and believes into Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

⁴¹Then the Jews started complaining about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of Heaven.”

⁴²And they were saying: “Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, ‘I have come down out of Heaven’?”

⁴³So Jesus answered and said to them: “Stop complaining among yourselves.

⁴⁴No one is able to 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 will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who listens and learns from the Father comes to me.

⁴⁶(Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God—He has seen the Father.)

⁴⁷Most assuredly I say to you: the one believing into me has eternal life.

⁴⁸“I am the bread of the Life.

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

⁵⁰This is the bread that comes down out of Heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹I am the living bread which came down out of Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. Actually, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give on behalf of the life of the world.”
