John 6:41-63

⁴¹The Iewes then murmured at him because hee sayde, I am that bread, which is come downe from heauen.

⁴²And they said, Is not this Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, whose father and mother wee knowe? howe then sayth he, I came downe from heauen?

⁴³Iesus then answered, and saide vnto them, Murmure not among your selues.

⁴⁴No man can come to mee, except the Father, which hath sent mee, drawe him: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

⁴⁵It is written in the Prophetes, And they shalbe al taught of God. Euery man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, commeth vnto me:

⁴⁶Not that any man hath seene the Father, saue hee which is of God, hee hath seene the Father.

⁴⁷Verely, verely I say vnto you, hee that beleeueth in me, hath euerlasting life.

⁴⁸I am that bread of life.

⁴⁹Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead.

⁵⁰This is that breade, which commeth downe from heauen, that hee which eateth of it, shoulde not die.

⁵¹I am that liuing breade, which came downe from heauen: if any man eate of this breade, hee shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world.

⁵²Then the Iewes stroue among themselues, saying, Howe can this man giue vs his flesh to eate?

⁵³Then Iesus saide vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you.

⁵⁴Whosoeuer eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall life, and I will raise him vp at the last day.

⁵⁵For my flesh is meat in deede, and my blood is drinke in deede.

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

⁵⁷As that liuing Father hath sent me, so liue I by the Father, and he that eateth me, euen he shall liue by me.

⁵⁸This is that bread which came downe from heauen: not as your fathers haue eaten Manna, and are deade. Hee that eateth of this bread, shall liue for euer.

⁵⁹These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) sayde, This is an hard saying: who can heare it?

⁶¹But Iesus knowing in himselfe, that his disciples murmured at this, saide vnto them, Doeth this offend you?

⁶²What then if yee should see that Sonne of man ascend vp where he was before?

⁶³It is the spirite that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the woordes that I speake vnto you, are spirite and life.
