John 6:31-71

ACV(i) 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. 32 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world. 34 They said to him therefore, Lord, always give us this bread. 35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will, no, not hunger, and he who believes in me will, no, not ever thirst. 36 But also I said to you, that ye have seen me, and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out. 38 Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 The Jews therefore murmured about him because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven. 42 And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Therefore how does this man say, I have come down out of heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among each other. 44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they will all be taught of God. Every man who hears from the Father, and having learned, comes to me. 46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God. This man has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. 51 I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. 54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age. 59 He said these things in a synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Therefore many of his disciples having heard, said, This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it? 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause you to stumble? 62 Then if ye should see the Son of man ascending where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life. 64 Nevertheless, there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who do not believe, and who he is who will betray him. 65 And he said, Because of this I have said to you that no man is able to come to me, if it is not given to him from my Father. 66 From this, many of his disciples went back at these things, and walked no more with him. 67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, Do ye not also want to go? 68 Simon Peter therefore answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? Thou have sayings of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and know that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 But he spoke of Judas Iscariot son of Simon. For this man, being one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
