John 6:41-57

⁴¹Therefore the Jews grudged of him (or And so the Jews grumbled about him), for he had said, I am (the) 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 grudge together. (And so Jesus answered, and said to them, Do not grumble to each other.)

⁴⁴No man may come to me, but if the Father that sent me, draw him, or no but the Father that sent me, draw him; and I shall again-raise him in the last day. (No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, draw him; and I shall raise each one up on the Last Day.)

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And all men shall be able to be taught of God (or Everyone shall be taught by 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. (Not that anyone hath seen the Father, but he who is from God, hath seen the Father.)

⁴⁷Soothly, soothly, I say to you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life. (Truly, truly, I say to you, or Truly, I tell you the truth, he who believeth in me, hath eternal life.)

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

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

⁵⁰This is (the) bread coming down from heaven, that if any man eat thereof, he die not, (or so that if anyone eat of it, they shall not die).

⁵¹I am (the) living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live (into) 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, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), no 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. (He who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the Last Day.)

⁵⁵For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink. (For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true 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. (For the living Father sent me, and I live for the Father, and he who eateth me, shall live because of me.)
