6:32 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, 3 it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven. 6:33 For the bread of God is the one who 4 comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 6:34 So they said to him, “Sir, 5 give us this bread all the time!”
6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty. 6 6:36 But I told you 7 that you have seen me 8 and still do not believe. 6:37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away. 9 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. 6:39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up 10 at the last day. 6:40 For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up 11 at the last day.” 12
6:41 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus 13 began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” 6:42 and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 6:43 Jesus replied, 14 “Do not complain about me to one another. 15 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, 16 and I will raise him up at the last day. 6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ 17 Everyone who hears and learns from the Father 18 comes to me. 6:46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he 19 has seen the Father.) 20 6:47 I tell you the solemn truth, 21 the one who believes 22 has eternal life. 23 6:48 I am the bread of life. 24 6:49 Your ancestors 25 ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 6:50 This 26 is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person 27 may eat from it and not die. 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread 28 that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
6:52 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus 29 began to argue with one another, 30 “How can this man 31 give us his flesh to eat?” 6:53 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, 32 unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, 33 you have no life 34 in yourselves. 6:54 The one who eats 35 my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 36 6:55 For my flesh is true 37 food, and my blood is true 38 drink. 6:56 The one who eats 39 my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him. 40 6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes 41 me will live because of me. 6:58 This 42 is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors 43 ate, but then later died. 44 The one who eats 45 this bread will live forever.”
6:59 Jesus 46 said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue 47 in Capernaum. 48
