2 [6:28]Then they said to him, What shall we do to perform the works of God? [6:29]Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent. [6:30]Then they said to him, What miracle do you perform, that we may see and believe you? what work do you perform? [6:31]Our fathers eat the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. [6:32]Then Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven; [6:33]for the bread of God is he that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. 3 [6:34]Then they said to him, Sir, always give us this bread. [6:35]Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes in me shall never thirst. [6:36]But I said to you, that you have seen me and believe not. [6:37]Every thing which the Father gives to me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will by no means cast out; [6:38]for I came down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him that sent me. [6:39]And this is the will of him that sent me; that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise it up at the last day. [6:40]For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 4 [6:41]Then the Jews complained of him because he said, I am the 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, does he say, I came down from heaven? [6:43]Then Jesus answered and said to them, Complain not among yourselves. [6:44]No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. [6:45]It is written in the prophets, And all shall be taught of God. Every one who has heard and learned of the Father comes to me. [6:46]Not that any one has seen the Father except he that is from God; he has seen the Father. 5 [6:47]I tell you most truly, He that believes has eternal life. [6:48]I am the bread of life. [6:49]Your fathers eat manna in the wilderness, and died; [6:50]this is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. [6:51]I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.
