⁴ But he answered, ^(A)“It is written,

³ And he humbled you and ^(A)let you hunger and ^(B)fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that ^(C)man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word^[a] that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, ^(A)“It is written, ^(B)‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”

^31 (A)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^(B)‘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 ^(C)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, ^(D)“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, ^(E)“I am the bread of life; ^(F)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 (G)All that ^(H)the Father gives me will come to me, and ^(I)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. ³⁸ For ^(J)I have come down from heaven, not to do ^(K)my own will but ^(L)the will of him ^(M)who sent me. ³⁹ And ^(N)this is the will of him who sent me, ^(O)that I should lose nothing of ^(P)all that he has given me, but ^(Q)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^(R)looks on the Son and ^(S)believes in him ^(T)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

⁴¹ So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, ^(U)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” ⁴² They said, ^(V)“Is not this Jesus, ^(W)the son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^(X)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 ^(Y)draws him. And ^(Z)I will raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophets, ^(AA)‘And they will all be ^(AB)taught by God.’ ^(AC)Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— ^46 (AD)not that anyone has seen the Father except ^(AE)he who is from God; he ^(AF)has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AG)whoever believes has eternal life. ^48 (AH)I am the bread of life. ^49 (AI)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^(AJ)they died. ^50 (AK)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^(AL)and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(AM)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(AN)for the life of the world is ^(AO)my flesh.”

⁵² The Jews then ^(AP)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(AQ)“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 ^(AR)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(AS)have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(AT)has eternal life, and ^(AU)I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(AV)abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As ^(AW)the living Father ^(AX)sent me, and ^(AY)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ^58 (AZ)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread^[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” ⁵⁹ Jesus^[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught ^(BA)at Capernaum.

^63 (A)It is the Spirit who gives life; ^(B)the flesh is no help at all. ^(C)The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

⁴ For ^(A)whatever was written in former days was written for our ^(B)instruction, that through endurance and through ^(C)the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

¹⁷ and take ^(A)the helmet of salvation, and ^(B)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

⁸ And Jesus answered him, ^(A)“It is written,

¹⁵ When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, ^(A)“What is it?”^[a] For they ^(B)did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, ^(C)“It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
