Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁴¹ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am that bread that has come down from heaven. ⁴² And they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?

⁴³ Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur between yourselves. ⁴⁴ No one can come to me unless the Father who has sent me draws him. And I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets that they will all be taught by God. Everyone therefore who has heard and has learned from the Father, comes to me. ⁴⁶ Not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is of God; the same has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Truly truly I say to you, he who believes on me has everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am that bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness but are dead. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am that living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
