John 6:43-52

⁴³“Do not murmur amongst yourselves,” said Jesus in reply.

⁴⁴“No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last day.

⁴⁶Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is from God — he has seen the Father.

⁴⁷In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸I am the life-giving bread.

⁴⁹Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.

⁵⁰The bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.

⁵¹I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

⁵²They began disputing with one another, “How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?”
