John 6:40-56

Darby Translation

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven?

⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and has learned [of him], comes to me;

⁴⁶ not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵² The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

⁵⁵ for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

⁵⁶ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.
