Bible. John
6:32. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you; Moses gave you
not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from
heaven.
6:33. For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and
giveth life to the world.
6:34. They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.
6:35. And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to
me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
6:36. But I said unto you that you also have seen me, and you believe
not.
6:37. All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that
cometh to me, I will not cast out.
6:38. Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the
will of him that sent me.
6:39. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that
he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in
the last day.
6:40. And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who
seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will
raise him up in the last day.
6:41. The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the
living bread which came down from heaven.
6:42. And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven?
6:43. Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Murmur not among
yourselves.
6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw
him. And I will raise him up in the last day.
Draw him... Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any
necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace.
6:45. It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of
God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh
forth me.
6:46. Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he
hath seen the Father.
6:47. Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath
everlasting life.
6:48. I am the bread of life.
6:49. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead.
6:50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man
eat of it, he may not die.
6:51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
6:52. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
6:53. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this
man give us his flesh to eat?
6:54. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you
eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have
life in you.
