John 6:22‑58• 22On the morrow the crowd, that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other boat but one, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the ship, but that his disciples went off alone
23(yet [other] boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks);
24when the crowd then saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they went themselves on board the ships and came to Capernaum seeking for Jesus;
25and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.
27Work not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal which the Son of man shall give you; for him the Father sealed, [even] God.
28They said therefore to him, What must we do that we may work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he sent.
30They said therefore to him, What sign doest thou then that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, according as it is written, Bread out of heaven he gave them to eat.
32Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Not Moses hath given you the bread out of heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.
33For the bread of God is he that descendeth out of heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall in no wise hunger, and he that believeth on me shall in nowise ever thirst.
36But I said to you, that ye have even seen me, and do not believe.
37All that the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I am descended from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day.
41The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven.
42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then doth he say, I am come down out of heaven?
43Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No one can come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that heard from the Father and learned cometh unto me.
46Not that anyone hath seen the Father, except he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth [on me ] hath life eternal.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50This is the bread that cometh down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If one shall have eaten of this bread, he shall live forever. Yea, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.
52The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying How can he give us his flesh to eat?
53Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
54He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day;
55for my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink.
56He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me and I in him.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father, he also that eateth me, even he shall live by reason of me.
58This is the bread that came down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eateth this bread shall live forever. (John 6:22‑58)
