²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^(A)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(B)you are seeking me, not because you saw ^(C)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ^27 (D)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for ^(E)the food that endures to eternal life, which ^(F)the Son of Man will give to you. For on ^(G)him God the Father has ^(H)set his seal.” ²⁸ Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^(I)the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^(J)that you believe in him whom ^(K)he has sent.” ³⁰ So they said to him, ^(L)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ^31 (M)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^(N)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” ³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is ^(O)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, ^(P)“Sir, give us this bread always.”

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

^46 (A)not that anyone has seen the Father except ^(B)he who is from God; he ^(C)has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(D)whoever believes has eternal life. ^48 (E)I am the bread of life. ^49 (F)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^(G)they died. ^50 (H)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^(I)and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(J)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(K)for the life of the world is ^(L)my flesh.”

⁵² The Jews then ^(M)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(N)“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 ^(O)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(P)have no life in you.
