John 6:41-53

⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven;

⁴²and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, one whose father and mother we know? How is it then that this man saith, I have come down from heaven?

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

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

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught of God.” Every one that hath heard the Father, and hath learnt from him, cometh to me.

⁴⁶Not that any one hath seen the Father, but he who is from God; he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth hath everlasting life.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

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

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

⁵¹I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eat of my bread, he will live for ever. Yea, and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

⁵²The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵³Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
