35 Jesus said to them, |I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
36 |But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.
37 |All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.
38 |For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
39 |This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
40 |For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.|
41 Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, |I am the bread that came down out of heaven.|
42 They were saying, |Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, I have come down out of heaven'?|
43 Jesus answered and said to them, |Do not grumble among yourselves.
44 |No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
45 |It is written in the prophets, AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
46 |Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.
47 |Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes 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 which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.
51 |I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.|
52 Then the Jews [began] to argue with one another, saying, |How can this man give us [His] flesh to eat?|
53 So Jesus said to them, |Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 |He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 |For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
56 |He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57 |As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
58 |This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.|
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard [this] said, |This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?|
61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, |Does this cause you to stumble?
62 |[What] then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?
63 |It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64 |But there are some of you who do not believe.| For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65 And He was saying, |For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.|
66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
67 So Jesus said to the twelve, |You do not want to go away also, do you?|
68 Simon Peter answered Him, |Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69 |We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.|
70 Jesus answered them, |Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and [yet] one of you is a devil?|
71 Now He meant Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.
