35 And Jesus said to them, (A)“I am the bread of life. (B)He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never (C)thirst. 36 (D)But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet (E)do not believe. 37 (F)All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and (G)the one who comes to Me I will [a]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, (H)not to do My own will, (I)but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, (J)that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, (K)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Rejected by His Own

41 The Jews then [b]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, (L)“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [c]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 (M)No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (N)draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, (O)‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ (P)Therefore everyone who [d]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 (Q)Not that anyone has seen the Father, (R)except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, (S)he who believes [e]in Me has everlasting life. 48 (T)I am the bread of life. 49 (U)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 (V)This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread (W)which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and (X)the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

35 ειπεν δε αυτοις ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης ο ερχομενος προς με ου μη πειναση και ο πιστευων εις εμε ου μη διψηση πωποτε

36 αλλ ειπον υμιν οτι και εωρακατε με και ου πιστευετε

37 παν ο διδωσιν μοι ο πατηρ προς εμε ηξει και τον ερχομενον προς με ου μη εκβαλω εξω

38 οτι καταβεβηκα εκ του ουρανου ουχ ινα ποιω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με

39 τουτο δε εστιν το θελημα του πεμψαντος με πατρος ινα παν ο δεδωκεν μοι μη απολεσω εξ αυτου αλλα αναστησω αυτο εν τη εσχατη ημερα

40 τουτο δε εστιν το θελημα του πεμψαντος με ινα πας ο θεωρων τον υιον και πιστευων εις αυτον εχη ζωην αιωνιον και αναστησω αυτον εγω τη εσχατη ημερα

41 εγογγυζον ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ειπεν εγω ειμι ο αρτος ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου

42 και ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ιησους ο υιος ιωσηφ ου ημεις οιδαμεν τον πατερα και την μητερα πως ουν λεγει ουτος οτι εκ του ουρανου καταβεβηκα

43 απεκριθη ουν ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις μη γογγυζετε μετ αλληλων

44 ουδεις δυναται ελθειν προς με εαν μη ο πατηρ ο πεμψας με ελκυση αυτον και εγω αναστησω αυτον τη εσχατη ημερα

45 εστιν γεγραμμενον εν τοις προφηταις και εσονται παντες διδακτοι του θεου πας ουν ο ακουσας παρα του πατρος και μαθων ερχεται προς με

46 ουχ οτι τον πατερα τις εωρακεν ει μη ο ων παρα του θεου ουτος εωρακεν τον πατερα

47 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο πιστευων εις εμε εχει ζωην αιωνιον

48 εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης

49 οι πατερες υμων εφαγον το μαννα εν τη ερημω και απεθανον

50 ουτος εστιν ο αρτος ο εκ του ουρανου καταβαινων ινα τις εξ αυτου φαγη και μη αποθανη

51 εγω ειμι ο αρτος ο ζων ο εκ του ουρανου καταβας εαν τις φαγη εκ τουτου του αρτου ζησεται εις τον αιωνα και ο αρτος δε ον εγω δωσω η σαρξ μου εστιν ην εγω δωσω υπερ της του κοσμου ζωης

35 Jesus said to them, (A)I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me (B)will never be thirsty. 36 But (C)I said to you that you have indeed seen Me, and yet you do not believe. 37 (D)Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. 38 For (E)I have come down from heaven, (F)not to do My own will, but (G)the will of Him who (H)sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of (I)everything that He has given Me I will (J)lose nothing, but will (K)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who (L)sees the Son and (M)believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will (N)raise him up on the last day.”

Words to the Jews

41 (O)So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that (P)came down out of heaven.” 42 And they were saying, “(Q)Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (R)we know? How does He now say, (S)I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop complaining among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (T)draws him; and I will (U)raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written (V)in the Prophets: ‘(W)And they shall all be (X)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 (Y)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, the one who believes (Z)has eternal life. 48 (AA)I am the bread of life. 49 (AB)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that (AC)comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and (AD)not die. 51 (AE)I am the living bread that (AF)came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, (AG)he will live forever; and the bread which I will give (AH)for the life of the world also is (AI)My flesh.”
