44No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me should draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to Me.
46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
47Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
52Therefore the Jews were contending with one another, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”
53Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
55For My flesh truly is food, and My blood truly is drink.
56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”
59These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
60Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can hear it?”
61And Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?
62What then if you should see the Son of Man ascending where He was before?
63It is the Spirit who makes alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
64But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who were the ones who did not believe, and who was the one who would betray Him).
65And He said, “Because of this I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
