John 6:28-40
New King James Version
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, (A)“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 Therefore they said to Him, (B)“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 (C)Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, (D)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but (E)My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 (F)Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 And Jesus said to them, (G)“I am the bread of life. (H)He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never (I)thirst. 36 (J)But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet (K)do not believe. 37 (L)All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and (M)the one who comes to Me I will [a]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, (N)not to do My own will, (O)but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, (P)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, (Q)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

English Standard Version
28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing (A)the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, (B)that you believe in him whom (C)he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, (D)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 (E)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, (F)‘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 (G)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, (H)“Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, (I)“I am the bread of life; (J)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 (K)All that (L)the Father gives me will come to me, and (M)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For (N)I have come down from heaven, not to do (O)my own will but (P)the will of him (Q)who sent me. 39 And (R)this is the will of him who sent me, (S)that I should lose nothing of (T)all that he has given me, but (U)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who (V)looks on the Son and (W)believes in him (X)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
