25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? |
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. |
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. |
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? |
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. |
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? |
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. |
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. |
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. |
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. |
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. |
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. |
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. |
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. |
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. |
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. |
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. |
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? |
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. |
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. |
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. |
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. |
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. |
48 I am that bread of life. |
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. |
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. |
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. |
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. |
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. |
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. |
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. |
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. |
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. |
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. |
