John 6:33-58

ABU(i) 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world. 34 They therefore said to him: Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you, that ye have also seen me, and do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him that comes to me I will not cast out. 38 Because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread that came down out of heaven. 42 And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does this man say: I have come down out of heaven? 43 Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me, except the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me. 46 Not that any one has seen the Father, save he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever; yea, and 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 one another, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Jesus therefore said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 He that 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 true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eats me, he also shall live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven. Not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live forever.
