John 6:32-51
King James Version
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

New King James Version
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but (A)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 (B)Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 And Jesus said to them, (C)“I am the bread of life. (D)He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never (E)thirst. 36 (F)But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet (G)do not believe. 37 (H)All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and (I)the one who comes to Me I will [a]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, (J)not to do My own will, (K)but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, (L)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, (M)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Rejected by His Own
41 The Jews then [b]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, (N)“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [c]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 (O)No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (P)draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, (Q)‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ (R)Therefore everyone who [d]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 (S)Not that anyone has seen the Father, (T)except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, (U)he who believes [e]in Me has everlasting life. 48 (V)I am the bread of life. 49 (W)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 (X)This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread (Y)which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and (Z)the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

English Standard Version
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 (A)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, (B)“Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, (C)“I am the bread of life; (D)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 (E)All that (F)the Father gives me will come to me, and (G)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For (H)I have come down from heaven, not to do (I)my own will but (J)the will of him (K)who sent me. 39 And (L)this is the will of him who sent me, (M)that I should lose nothing of (N)all that he has given me, but (O)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who (P)looks on the Son and (Q)believes in him (R)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, (S)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, (T)“Is not this Jesus, (U)the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (V)we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me (W)draws him. And (X)I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, (Y)‘And they will all be (Z)taught by God.’ (AA)Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 (AB)not that anyone has seen the Father except (AC)he who is from God; he (AD)has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AE)whoever believes has eternal life. 48 (AF)I am the bread of life. 49 (AG)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and (AH)they died. 50 (AI)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it (AJ)and not die. 51 I am the living bread (AK)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give (AL)for the life of the world is (AM)my flesh.”
