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

¹⁷ The Spirit and ^(A)the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And ^(B)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the ^(C)water of life without price.

⁴¹ So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, ^(A)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

Rivers of Living Water

^37 (A)On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, ^(B)“If anyone thirsts, let him ^(C)come to me and drink. ³⁸ Whoever believes in me, ^(D)as^[a] the Scripture has said, ^(E)‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of ^(F)living water.’”

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

⁵² The Jews then ^(I)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(J)“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 ^(K)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(L)have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(M)has eternal life, and ^(N)I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(O)abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As ^(P)the living Father ^(Q)sent me, and ^(R)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ^58 (S)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread^[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
