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.”

52 (AJ)Then the Jews (AK)began to argue with one another, saying, “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 (AL)the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will (AM)raise him up on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood (AN)remains in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the (AO)living Father (AP)sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread that (AQ)came down out of heaven, not as (AR)the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread (AS)will live forever.”

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) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(E) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(F) not to do my will but to do the will(G) of him who sent me.(H) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(I) but raise them up at the last day.(J) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(K) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(L) and I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,(M) whose father and mother we know?(N) How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”(O)

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,(P) and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[a](Q) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God;(R) only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.(S) 48 I am the bread of life.(T) 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.(U) 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,(V) which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread(W) that came down from heaven.(X) Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”(Y)

52 Then the Jews(Z) began to argue sharply among themselves,(AA) “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(AB) of the Son of Man(AC) and drink his blood,(AD) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(AE) 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.(AF) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(AG) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(AH)
