²⁷ Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures^(A) to eternal life,^(B) which the Son of Man^(C) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal^(D) of approval.”

²⁸ Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

²⁹ Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe^(E) in the one he has sent.”^(F)

³³ For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven^(A) and gives life to the world.”

³⁵ Then Jesus declared, “I am^(A) the bread of life.^(B) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes^(C) in me will never be thirsty.^(D)

⁴⁷ Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.^{(A) 48} I am the bread of life.^{(B) 49} Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.^{(C) 50} But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,^(D) which anyone may eat and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread^(E) that came down from heaven.^(F) Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”^(G)

⁵⁴ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.^{(A) 55} For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.^{(B) 57} Just as the living Father sent me^(C) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
