John 6:41-51

New American Standard Bible

Words to the Jews

^41 (A)So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that ^(B)came down out of heaven.” ⁴² And they were saying, “^(C)Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^(D)we know? How does He now say, ‘^(E)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 ^(F)draws him; and I will ^(G)raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written ^(H)in the Prophets: ‘^(I)And they shall all be ^(J)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. ^46 (K)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 ^(L)has eternal life. ^48 (M)I am the bread of life. ^49 (N)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that ^(O)comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and ^(P)not die. ^51 (Q)I am the living bread that ^(R)came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, ^(S)he will live forever; and the bread which I will give ^(T)for the life of the world also is ^(U)My flesh.”
