Goodspeed(i)
32 Jesus said to them, "I tell you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the bread out of heaven,
33 for it is God's bread that comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
34 Then they said to him, "Give us that bread always, sir!"
35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.
36 But as I have told you, although you have seen me, you will not believe.
37 All that my Father gives to me will come to me, and I will never refuse anyone who comes to me,
38 for I have come down from heaven not to do what I please but what pleases him who has sent me.
39 And the purpose of him who has sent me is this, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise them to life on the Last Day.
40 For it is the purpose of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him to life on the Last Day."
41 The Jews complained of him for saying, "I am the bread that has come out of heaven,"
42 and they said, "Is he not Joseph's son, Jesus, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"
43 Jesus answered, "Do not complain to one another.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; then I myself will raise him to life on the Last Day.
45 In the prophets it is written, 'And all men will be taught by God!' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him will come to me.
46 Not that anyone has ever seen the Father, except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.
47 I tell you, whoever believes already possesses eternal life.
48 I am the bread that gives life.
49 Your forefathers in the desert ate the manna and yet they died.
50 But here is bread that comes down out of heaven, and no one who eats it will ever die.
51 I am this living bread that has come down out of heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the world's life is my own flesh!"
52 This led the Jews to dispute with one another. They said, "How can he give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no self-existent life.
54 Whoever lives on my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the Last Day.
55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever lives on my flesh and drinks my blood remains united to me and I remain united to him.
57 Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who lives on me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread that has come down out of heaven—not like that which your forefathers ate and yet died. Whoever lives on this bread will live forever."
