John 6:41-53

⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

⁴²And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?

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

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

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me;

⁴⁶not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me has life eternal.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

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

⁵⁰This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵²The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

⁵³Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
