³⁵ Jesus said to them, ^(E)“I am the bread of life; ^(F)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)whoever believes has eternal life. ^48 (B)I am the bread of life. ^49 (C)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^(D)they died. ^50 (E)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^(F)and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(G)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(H)for the life of the world is ^(I)my flesh.”
