John 6:40-68

⁴⁰And this is the will of my Father that sent me, that each man that seeth the Son, and believeth in him, have everlasting life; and I shall again-raise him in the last day.

⁴¹Therefore the Jews grutched of him, for he had said, I am bread that came down from heaven.

⁴²And they said, Whether this is not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known. How then saith he this, That I came down from heaven?

⁴³Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Do not ye grutch together.

⁴⁴No man may come to me, but if or no but the Father that sent me, draw him; and I shall again-raise him in the last day.

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And all men shall be able to be taught of God. Each man that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.

⁴⁶Not for any man hath seen the Father, but this that is of God, hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷Soothly, soothly, I say to you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹Your fathers ate manna in desert, and be dead.

⁵⁰This is bread coming down from heaven, that if any man eat thereof, he die not.

⁵¹I am living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live without end. And the bread that I shall give, is my flesh for the life of the world.

⁵²Therefore the Jews chided together, and said, How may this give to us his flesh to eat?

⁵³Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, but ye eat the flesh of man’s Son, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.

⁵⁴He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life, and I shall again-raise him in the last day.

⁵⁵For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink.

⁵⁶He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷As my Father living sent me, and I live for the Father, and he that eateth me, he shall live for me.

⁵⁸This is bread, that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna, and be dead; he that eateth this bread, shall live without end.

⁵⁹He said these things in the syna-gogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples hearing this, said, This word is hard, who may hear it?

⁶¹But Jesus witting at or within himself, that his disciples grutched of this thing, said to them, This thing offendeth you?

⁶²Therefore if ye see man’s Son ascending or going up, where he was before?

⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life.

⁶⁴But there be some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, which were believing, and who was to betray him.

⁶⁵And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man may come to me, but it were given to him of my Father.

⁶⁶From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.

⁶⁷Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Whether ye will also go away?

⁶⁸And Simon Peter answered to him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life;
